*PayPal Balance or Venmo accounts required.

When you buy or sell cryptocurrency on PayPal or Venmo (including when you checkout with crypto on PayPal), Paypal or Venmo will disclose an exchange rate and any fees you will be charged for that transaction.  For currencies other than PYUSD, the exchange rate includes a spread that is earned on each purchase and sale.  Learn more about cryptocurrency fees on PayPal and Venmo.

Buying and selling cryptocurrency is subject to a number of risks and may result in significant losses. Please see PayPal’s disclosure and Venmo’s disclosure for more details.

PayPal and Venmo do not make any recommendations regarding buying and or selling cryptocurrency. Consider seeking advice from your financial and tax advisor. Some custody, trading, and transfer services for cryptocurrency are performed for PayPal and Venmo by our licensed service provider, Paxos Trust Company, LLC.  PayPal USD is issued by Paxos, not PayPal or Venmo, and is subject to the Paxos US Dollar-Backed Stablecoin Terms and Conditions.

Any cryptocurrencies you hold in your Venmo account are not deposits, are not eligible for pass-through FDIC insurance and may lose value. FDIC insurance protects against the failure of a Program Bank, not the failure of Paypal, which provides the Venmo service. PayPal is not a bank, does not take deposits and is not FDIC insured. 

Cryptocurrency activity is not a regulated activity in many U.S. states and territories. PayPal, Inc. is licensed to engage in virtual currency business activity by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Buying, selling, transferring, and holding cryptocurrency with PayPal and Venmo is not available in Hawaii and where prohibited by law.
