Solana, Chainlink Added to PayPal’s Platform in Continued Crypto Expansion

PayPal is taking another step deeper into the crypto space, announcing support for Solana (SOL) and Chainlink (LINK) across its platform and Venmo. U.S. users will soon be able to buy, sell, hold, and transfer both tokens directly from their accounts — part of the company’s ongoing strategy to broaden digital asset access.

The rollout is set to begin over the next few weeks and comes amid a more defined regulatory environment in the U.S., giving major fintech players like PayPal confidence to innovate further in the crypto space.

“By adding more tokens, we’re providing users with greater choice and flexibility as they explore the digital asset ecosystem,” said May Zabaneh, PayPal’s Vice President of Blockchain, Crypto, and Digital Currencies.

This latest move builds on PayPal’s steady crypto expansion since it first introduced digital currencies to its platform in 2020. Over the past year, it’s also launched a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin and enabled crypto access for U.S.-based business customers.

Adding Solana and Chainlink — two high-profile projects known for speed, scalability, and real-world integrations — signals PayPal’s intent to go beyond mainstream coins and offer exposure to the next wave of blockchain innovation.

As crypto adoption grows, PayPal is positioning itself not just as a payment processor, but as a gateway into the digital asset economy.
