This year, PayPal promised to enable its customers to use crypto for making purchases from 26+ million merchants and begin using it via Venmo mobile app.

Venmo clients can start with as little as only $1 to work with cryptocurrencies. As expected by the app team, the majority of Venmo clients (around 40 million of them) will be able to access crypto by late May.
