Crypto Industry News:

PayPal has confirmed that it is developing opportunities in the area of cryptocurrencies, in accordance with a letter to the European Commission. The document was originally submitted on March 20 and was to respond to the European Commission's public consultation on building an EU framework for crypto-asset markets.

In the letter, the payment giant admitted that it "constantly monitors and assesses global changes in cryptographic space and Blockchain / DLT", emphasizing that it advocates a "harmonious" regulatory approach that would not threaten innovation.

In addition, PayPal referred to its relationship with cryptographic resources, noting that in 2019 he joined Libra Association to learn "more about the proposed use of Blockchain technology to provide financial services to non-banking populations around the world," but later resigned, because he started working on his own solutions in space:

"From the beginning of the project, PayPal has taken unilateral and tangible steps to further develop its capabilities in this area, and therefore - without questioning the value of the project - has decided not to participate in the Libra Association and further focus on the implementation of our current missions and business priorities for democratization access to financial services ".
