Eligible customers can make purchases in the amount they want starting at 1 euro. To do this, they only have to log into their PayPal account. Next, access the crypto tab and choose from the four cryptos available.

To carry out this project, PayPal is committed to working in close collaboration with the regulators and decision-makers in Luxembourg. Additionally, client funds will be readily available in their accounts should they wish to sell.
