2020 was a significant year for fintech firms and their activities in the crypto space.

But it’s perhaps PayPal — and it’s many millions of global customers — that drew the most attention with its long-rumored move into crypto services. In partnership with Paxos, the digital payments giant is slowly beginning to roll out the ability to buy and sell cryptocurrency to its customer base.
What’s more, PayPal appears to be making entreaties to businesses in the crypto space for possible acquisitions, including BitGo.
