    This is extremely bullish for $PYPL. In fact, it is screaming bullish. BUT (a big but), the only issue is the price. Both fundamentals and technicals need to align for the stock to truly recover. Today, the market would rather pay 156x forward earnings for $MRVL than 8x forward earnings and 1x sales for PayPal. I don't make the rules, I just play the game.

    @codeofvets @PayPal @PayPal this is very disappointing. Please fix this, so we won’t have to look for another pay app.

    PayPal will gradually shut down its venture capital arm, PayPal Ventures, and is considering selling some of its investment positions through the secondary market. PayPal is shutting down its 10-year-old corporate venture capital arm, PayPal Ventures. It is understood that

    PayPal Ventures is winding down That is not just a cost-cutting story. It is PayPal giving up one of its windows into fintech before the next wave hits. The venture arm launched in 2016, backed more than 80 companies, and raised $850M across three funds. Its portfolio included Plaid, Anchorage Digital, Divvy, Talos, and other companies building the infrastructure around payments, crypto, banking, and fintech APIs. Now PayPal is restructuring. New CEO Enrique Lores is trying to simplify the company, refocus around core businesses, and make PayPal a technology company again. That makes the venture shutdown awkward. Corporate venture is not only about financial returns. For incumbents, it is market radar. A CVC fund lets a company see what founders are building before the category becomes obvious. Which payment rails are getting traction. Which compliance problems are becoming startups. Which fintech APIs are replacing internal roadmaps. Which crypto or banking infrastructure layers are moving from experiment to enterprise. PayPal can still partner, acquire, or invest later. But shutting down the venture arm means fewer early signals from the edge of fintech. The company is trying to get sharper. It may also be narrowing the lens right as fintech is getting rebuilt again.

    Not surprised PayPal Ventures is shutting down. I am, however, surprised it took this long.

    @deobimom They added Google Pay (I think since PayPal was NOT working) and it works, but also if you have a Wise account you can do the bank transfer option and it works.

    Okay so honest question for those following me, this artist owes me like $310 in coms and I havent gotten a single one for a LONG time, way past the time PayPal could issue refund so what do I do? This is honestly a new experience for me :/ I feel the money is just gone.

    @ZandoraVT But this is purely Paypal which has always been an issue for many artists. If someone was planning to chargeback they will either u commission it on vgen or Kofi or carrd or any other platform. I don’t trust Paypal for that reason

  • SiliconSalvage
    Silicon Salvage (@SiliconSalvage) reported

    Two payments stocks. Nearly the same share price. Completely opposite bets. $PYPL: $42, 7.9x earnings. $FOUR: $39, 45x earnings. Same sector, same ~$40 sticker price — but the market pays ~6x more per dollar of profit for Shift4 than for PayPal. Both got hit today ($PYPL -3.6%, $FOUR -5.2%), but Shift4’s down 64% from its high vs. 47% for PayPal. So which would you rather own at $40: the slow giant priced for death, or the fast grower still at a premium after a 64% crash?

    @FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

    @COV_VP @codeofvets @stripe I did see this. After I raised the original issue. The new system is far better than PayPal. Just be aware that their system will try to add a company to your registration. They tried adding my Condo association to my registration because I pay dues online.

    @raxkadess Girls, don't trust him. He asks to pay through PayPal Goods and Services just to file for a refund later. Plus, he reports accounts. Save yourselves the trouble and don't sell to him #buyingcontent

    @codeofvets @PayPal This is why I shut down my account years ago when they announced their new policy of basically "if we suspect you of anything or just don't like you we will close your account and fine you $1,200 completely at our discretion. There will be no appeal process so don't even ask."

    my grandma has been lying about not knowing how to use her phone for THREE YEARS. every time we visited she'd hand it to me like a helpless baby and say "sweetheart i don't understand this thing." i'd fix whatever and feel like a good grandson. last month my cousin caught her on a facebook live selling handmade quilts to 847 people with ring lighting and a PayPal link in the comments. she has a whole persona. her name is "Grandma Betty Stitches" and she has more followers than me. she looked at my cousin and said "don't tell the boys, they like feeling useful."

    CONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.
