According to a new survey from Mizuho Securities, the investment branch of Mizuho Financial Group, nearly a fifth of PayPal users may already be taking advantage of the app’s new BitcoinBitcoin capabilities.
Of the 380 users surveyed, 17% said they’d already used PayPal to trade Bitcoin, and 65% said they would use Bitcoin to pay for goods and services.
That’s good news for the digital payments giant, which recently bet big on the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. The company announced this past month that it would begin supporting payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin for users in the US.
And CEO Dan Schulman has been beating the drum for these cryptocurrencies as actual payment systems, telling CNBC that “when you start to move crypto as a potential funding instrument… that bolsters its utility, and stabilizes it as well.”
The catch is that cryptocurrencies purchased within the PayPal app can’t be transferred out to other wallets, and non-PayPal crypto can’t be transferred in. And when crypto is spent on PayPal, it’s automatically converted into fiat currency, which is what the merchant ends up receiving.
Online payments giant PayPal sent shockwaves through the crypto community today, announcing that its customers will soon be able to buy, sell and spend Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. As well as sending the price of Bitcoin soaring, it’s being hailed as a watershed moment for the wider cryptocurrency industry. According to Statista, the number of active PayPal user accounts reached 346 million in the second quarter of 2020. Even if the new crypto features will only be available to US reside...
Mizuho also suggested that Bitcoin trading in PayPal’s user base could be a good thing for the stock price—the report has the company’s stock price target at $290, up from $270 (it’s at $218 today), and says that revenue could increase by ~20% next year.
PayPal stock is already up more than 100% since the start of the year. The price of Bitcoin is up nearly 164% year to date.

The Russian Ministry of Energy is considering offering its now strictly regulated Bitcoin mining industry incentives to move to the north of the country.
