  $145 Million Worth Of Activity
  As Bitcoin climbed to a new all-time high that was sparked by the SECs approval of Bitcoin ETFs, PayPal was also recording its own BTC milestone. The payment platform saw trading volumes of the asset by $145.60 million which is the highest since May 19th. During that time, the platform recorded volume up to $304 million which is double the recent metric.
  Analysts are unsure whether or not the spike in volume is because of investors selling the top or because of retail traders buying in to ride the waves. Across the internet, searches for the word Bitcoin also experienced the same kind of spike.
  PayPal‘s decision to incorporate cryptocurrencies has been met with adulation from several quarters. The platform’s millions of customers now have the option to buy, hold and sell selected cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin from the platform and is shining a pATH for the other payment giants to follow the same path which can spur Bitcoin to new highs.
  “The increased buying pressure from PayPals users and its corresponding impact on the price of Bitcoin may stir a notable up-shoot this fourth quarter and as the year runs to an end,” says Alexander Vasiliev, co-founder of mercuryo. “With the ATH at $67K, we may see a worse case price high of $80,000 by year-end and a best-case scenario of $100,000.”
  PayPal's Love For Cryptocurrencies
  Aside from the integration of cryptocurrencies on the platform, PayPal now provides educational materials to its users on the app to foster a deeper understanding. The platforms vice president noted that “these changes will enable our customers to have more choice and flexibility in purchasing cryptocurrency on our platform.”
  As part of the cryptocurrency expansion drive, the company acquired Curv, a digital asset security firm. The companys VP, Fernandez da Ponte in a statement noted that “the acquisition of Curv is part of our effort to invest in the talent and technology to realize our vision for a more inclusive financial system.”
  Paypal's co-founder, Peter Thiel has stated that he feels like he “under-invested” in Bitcoin. The positive reactions from customers over cryptocurrency offerings may spell even deeper forays into the field by PayPal.
