PayPal wants to be a Central Bank Digital Currency distributor

15 februarie 2021

The digital currencies could be distributed through PayPal’s digital wallets, the company’s CEO said, according to CoinDesk. PayPal could be to central bank digital currencies (CBDC) what private banks are to physical dollars.

The company’s CEO, Dan Schulman, laid out a vision during its investor day on Thursday for PayPal’s digital wallets being the means by which central banks distributed CBDCs to consumers across income levels. 

You think about how many [digital wallets] we’re going to have in the next two, three or five years, and we’re a perfect complement to central banks and governments to distribute those digitized forms of currency,” Schulman said.
