According to the latest information on the company’s Help Center web page, PayPal, one of the largest digital payment platforms, has added Solana (SOL) and ChainLink to its supported digital assets for its US and US customers.

This addition expands PayPal’s existing Crypto lineup. This includes PayPal USD (PYUSD), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

The timeline is unknown as PayPal has not yet been officially announced when it added the new Crypto option. The PayPal Developer Portal, last updated in November 2024, also shows that Sol and Link are listed as supported crypto assets.

PayPal in US and US territories allows users to buy, sell and retain links and SOLs along with other major crypto assets, but the ability to send links and SOLs to external crypto wallets has not been confirmed and may not be supported yet.

Currently supported coins for external transfers include BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, and PYUSD compatible Ethereum ERC-20 or Solana SPL wallets.

PayPal first allowed customers to purchase, sell and retain crypto in 2020. The service initially planned to expand to other regions and enable crypto payments for millions of merchants.

In late 2024, the company began allowing merchants to buy, retain and sell Crypto directly from their business accounts.

The expansion has been significantly strengthened by PayPal’s crypto products to 36 million merchant accounts, and is part of an ongoing effort to increase crypto utilities and accessibility for US companies.
