Paybis, a digital asset exchange founded in Latvia, said it has begun allowing US customers to purchase crypto using PayPal, as crypto companies increasingly turn to established payment brands to attract mainstream users and improve trust in digital asset transactions.

The crypto platform, which reports 6.9 million users worldwide, said the move is aimed at improving conversion rates and reducing friction for new crypto buyers who may hesitate when faced with unfamiliar payment methods during checkout.

According to a May 2025 Harris Poll conducted for the National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA), 43% of U.S. non-crypto holders cited security concerns as a barrier, while more than two-thirds said they are interested in crypto but do not know where to start.

At Consensus 2026 in Miami, industry representatives from the NCA, Circle, and ChangeNOW also emphasized that trust remains a major barrier to crypto adoption, driven largely by complexity and lack of understanding among non-users.

“Our mission is to become the most trusted, simple, and human place to buy crypto, and that starts with how people fund their first transaction,” Paybis CEO and Founder Innokenty Isers explained. “Bringing PayPal to American consumers for crypto combines one of the world’s most recognizable payment brands with Paybis’ secure, compliant exchange infrastructure.”

Paybis said users can now complete crypto purchases through PayPal in the same way they make other online transactions, with funds credited to wallets within minutes after authorization.

Transaction sizes on the platform range from as little as $5 to as much as $1 million for eligible purchases, allowing the service to cater to both entry-level and high-volume users.

Paybis now supports more than 20 payment methods and is among a small number of crypto on-ramp providers offering PayPal payments in both the US and European markets.

“American consumers are leading the way on crypto but need more trusted payment methods,” Isers added. “Our mission is to make crypto trusted and clear for as many people as possible, and adding PayPal to our roster of payment methods makes this one giant step closer.”
