In a significant stride forward for the crypto ecosystem, Crypto.com has declared its collaboration with payment giant PayPal and prominent stablecoin issuer Paxos.

This collaboration extends the existing ties between PayPal and Crypto.com, where users could use PayPal to replenish the Crypto.com Visa Card. As part of their ongoing partnership, the two entities intend to probe deeper into offering enhanced top-up solutions and broader commerce functionalities in the days to come.
