Yes, you can buy Bitcoin in many regions today directly on the PayPal platform.
PayPal allows users in select countries (primarily the US and some parts of Europe) to directly buy, sell, hold, and transfer certain cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, within their PayPal account.
You typically fund these purchases using your PayPal balance, linked bank accounts, or debit cards.
Log into your PayPal account, go to the cryptocurrency section, select Bitcoin, enter the amount, and confirm the purchase using your linked payment method.
Initially, you wouldn’t be able to move or transfer cryptocurrencies purchased on PayPal to external wallets or exchanges. However, PayPal has now enabled external transfer support.
You can now transfer of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to external wallets from PayPal.
Last year, PayPal expanded its crypto support to allow U.S. merchants to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrency directly from their PayPal business accounts.
