Global digital payment giant PayPal might be moving into issuing its own cryptocurrency after officially entering the crypto industry, according to a major industry exec.
Demirors said that PayPal might be interested in launching its own token as the company officially left the Libra Association, the governing body of Facebook’s Libra digital currency project. A member of the association at the project’s launch in June 2019, PayPal left the initiative several months after, claiming that it does not want the regulatory scrutiny over Libra to “bleed into their business.”
PayPal CEO Dan Schulman subsequently said that that regulation and compliance are foundational for PayPal as a company trusted worldwide. He also stated that PayPal is developing a product that is “not necessarily competitive with Libra.”
