Venmo, owned by PayPal, also expanded support for crypto last August, allowing its credit cardholders to receive “cash back” rewards in cryptocurrencies.
Recently, PayPal បានផ្លាស់ប្តូរ its fee structure for crypto transactions across Venmo, and its own app, moving away from percentage based fees, and introducing a flat-fee structure for crypto transactions under $200.
