PayPal Deepens Crypto Integration by Listing Solana and Chainlink

PayPal is widening its digital asset footprint, adding Solana (SOL) and Chainlink (LINK) to the list of cryptocurrencies available to users on both its main platform and Venmo. The new assets will be available to U.S. users in the coming weeks, further enhancing the company’s crypto offerings amid a clearer regulatory environment.

With this update, users can now buy, sell, hold, and transfer SOL and LINK directly within their PayPal or Venmo accounts — an expansion that aligns with the payments company’s broader crypto strategy launched in 2020.

“Bringing more tokens onto our platforms gives users greater access and control over their digital finance experience,” said May Zabaneh, PayPal’s Vice President of Blockchain, Crypto, and Digital Currencies.

The announcement follows PayPal’s steady march into the digital asset space. Last year, the company introduced a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin and enabled crypto functionality for U.S.-based business accounts — signaling its intent to become a key player in the evolving fintech ecosystem.

The inclusion of Solana and Chainlink — two major projects with strong developer and institutional interest — suggests PayPal is targeting not just mainstream adoption, but deeper integration into the infrastructure of the blockchain economy.
