PayPal Launches Crypto Service in the UK as Bitcoin Prices Surge

Great news for crypto enthusiasts in the UK!

What This Means for UK Crypto Traders

From this week, cryptocurrency traders in the UK will be able to use PayPal to trade, in a move that has been welcomed by industry insiders. The online payment system PayPal has announced that it will soon launch a cryptocurrency service in the UK. The California-based company announced last Sunday that UK users will now be able to trade digital currencies such as bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum or litecoin for as little as £1. PayPal has announced that UK customers will be able to trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from this week. The online payments giant will allow users to buy, sell.

Approved by the FCA

PayPal has received approval from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to offer limited cryptocurrency services in the UK. While this is a significant step, remember that FCA has restricted PayPal from various crypto related actions, so it is important to use PayPal's services responsibly and understand the risks involved.

Which Cryptocurrencies are Available?

Through PayPal’s new service, customers will be able to choose from the four most-well known types of cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash.

Why Now? The Growing Popularity of Crypto
