PayPal already allowed US users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly from their account

We already knew that PayPal was planning to support cryptocurrencies as a form of payment, and now, the online payment app announced US customers can do just that with its “Checkout with Crypto” feature, which is rolling out today.

After rolling out the ability for US users to buy and sell cryptocurrency directly from their accounts last November, PayPal’s new “Checkout with Crypto” allows users to instantly convert their Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or Bitcoin Cash to US dollars (with no additional transaction fees) that PayPal then uses to complete the transaction. If a merchant doesn’t take US dollars, PayPal also converts those dollars into local currency at standard conversion rates set by PayPal.
