Payment processor Paypal has announced plans to introduce on- and
off-ramps to facilitate crypto payments for Web3 platforms. This move aims to enable merchants in the sector to broaden their user base by integrating with Paypal’s payments system.
Paypal’s Initiative to Facilitate Web3 Payments On Monday, Paypal disclosed its intention to enhance access to crypto by offering wallets, decentralized apps (dapps), and NFT marketplaces a straightforward solution to enable their customers to buy and sell supported cryptocurrencies in the US.
Through integration with Paypal’s On and Off Ramps, subject to applicable state laws, Web3 merchants will be able to expand their user base by leveraging Paypal’s fast and seamless payments experience trusted by millions, while benefiting from its robust security controls and tools for fraud management, chargebacks, and disputes.
The fintech company emphasized that it previously launched on-ramps, enabling US consumers to directly purchase crypto assets with Paypal through integrations with Metamask and Ledger wallets.
The addition of off-ramps will now allow crypto wallet holders in the US to directly convert cryptocurrencies to US dollars into their Paypal balance. Subsequently, they can utilize the funds for shopping, sending, saving, or transferring to their bank or debit card.
Paypal’s off-ramps solution is already operational on Metamask. Last week, the Ethereum wallet introduced a “Sell” option, enabling users in the US, the UK, and some European markets to cash out ether (ETH) to major fiat currencies and transfer the amount to a bank account or Paypal balance.
