"Governments and regulators need to get comfortable with crypto at scale. Policy and regulatory discussions are almost as exciting as the technical side of blockchain, and there is a real opportunity in the industry to accelerate adoption" – Richard Nash, PayPal #HCLTechAtDavos pic.twitter.com/BWcg44l6kK

PayPal launched its crypto buy, hold and sell feature for Bitcoin (BTC) in the US in 2020, indicating at the time that the service would be progressively rolled out across the globe.

In March 2021, the payments giant announced a check-out feature that allows customers to pay merchants using cryptocurrencies.
