PayPal has expanded its crypto offerings by adding Solana (SOL) and Chainlink (LINK) to its list of supported digital assets. The integration allows users of both PayPal and Venmo in the U.S. to buy, hold, sell, and transfer the two tokens directly from their accounts.
The rollout, set to begin in the coming weeks, reflects PayPal’s steady momentum in digital assets since launching crypto functionality in 2020. The company now offers a growing range of tokens and introduced its own U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin last year, alongside enabling crypto access for business accounts.
“Providing access to more cryptocurrencies on our platforms gives users greater choice and strengthens our role in the evolving digital finance ecosystem,” said May Zabaneh, PayPal’s VP of Blockchain, Crypto, and Digital Currencies.
The move also comes at a time of increasing regulatory clarity in the U.S., giving established financial firms a clearer path to innovate within the crypto space. The addition of SOL and LINK — both key players in the smart contract and data oracle sectors — signals PayPal’s intent to stay ahead in a competitive, fast-moving market.
