Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Trupti (@truptinatu) reportedAnd here it comes, part by part PayPal is winding down its venture arm.

Nacho Bidness (@liberalsblo) reported@NoLimitGains Lol, I hate that stock. I still own a bunch but it's down 70 or 80 percent since I was a retard and bought it. PayPal is dying, regardless of ita fundamentals.
-
David Dawson (@TinyTalesX) reported@What_is_Praise @catturd2 It’s a terrible process. After I complained enough I got a letter from PayPal basically telling me to sue the buyer if I felt cheated.

silentsuite.io (@silentsuiteio) reported@TutaPrivacy Wise for international transfers, Revolut for everyday use. But the PayPal breach is a good reminder that the payment layer isn't the only thing worth auditing- most people lock down their payments before they think about what their calendar or contacts are leaking.

6ɪx✦ (@ok6ixx) reportedmy 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."

Brian Rose, Founder & Host of London Real (@LondonRealTV) reportedCONGRESS 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.
