Pavlo (@Thunderbol50) reported@AskPayPal Hi @AskPayPal My PayPal account was taken over. I cannot login because the hacker changed my email and phone. I need help recovering access. I can provide ID and proof of ownership. I can’t community with support by phone.

Talking Tokens Podcast (@_TalkingTokens) reportedMay Zabaneh (SVP & GM of Crypto at PayPal) explains why payments still feel fast, but are actually slow, costly, and fragmented and how stablecoins could quietly replace the system underneath. In the latest episode of @_TalkingTokens, we break down programmable money, global payments, and where stablecoins are already working at scale. Links below

Arnab Chatterjee (@Chatterjee_arn) reportedVisa. Mastercard. Stripe. PayPal. Shopify. These are not crypto startups. They are the rails the global economy runs on. Combined, they process trillions of dollars annually across hundreds of millions of users and merchants. Every single one of them is moving to stablecoins. Not as a pilot. Not as a press release. As infrastructure. Visa has integrated stablecoins directly into its settlement layer. Issuers can now settle obligations in USDC rather than via ACH or wire. 24/7 settlement. No weekend liquidity gaps. By late 2025, Visa was processing $3.5 billion in annualized stablecoin settlement volume. Mastercard linked stablecoin-funded wallets to its card network. PayPal launched its own stablecoin. Stripe built stablecoin financial accounts for businesses across 100 countries and acquired Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure platform, for $1.1 billion. Shopify enabled USDC payments for merchants with no foreign transaction fees. Six in ten Fortune 500 executives are now developing blockchain initiatives. This is not ideology. It is procurement. But settlement speed and FX efficiency are only the first layer. The more significant opportunity sits in what happens to money between the moment it is earned and the moment it is spent. In the legacy system, that float earns nothing. It sits in a payroll account, a platform wallet, or a bank balance with zero yield attached. Yield-to-Pay changes that equation. Stablecoin rails allow idle balances to be routed into yield-bearing positions automatically, at the infrastructure layer, before payout. The worker earns on the float. The merchant earns on the float. The platform earns on the float. No action required from any of them. This is not a feature. It is a structural shift in how payment infrastructure creates value. Every dollar in transit becomes a productive asset rather than a dormant one. The reason every major platform is moving is the same in every case. Legacy rails were built for domestic transactions, business-day settlement windows, and single-currency payroll. Stablecoin rails solve the problem that actually exists. Instant settlement. No FX leakage. Yield on every dollar in motion. When Visa moves, it is not a signal that crypto is going mainstream. It is a signal that the old infrastructure lost the cost argument. And the yield argument. And the speed argument.

Elevate Dreams (@ElgDreams55370) reportedGlobal payment platforms are not equally accessible to every business For many African founders, the issue is not demand or credibility It is structure Payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Square operate within specific systems
-
Ori (@therealOri_) reported@RogonUsaryis @PayPal That could be fixed if they just routinely deleted the accounts that weren't logged into for awhile & the locked accounts people can't use anyways.. and the user was contacted about it beforehand just to give them ample time to verify/login or else. But they don't do any of that.

Crypto Quick Hits (@CryptoQuickHits) reportedPayPal is pushing SHARPLY higher on a CNBC report suggesting that new CEO Enrique Lores plans on separating Venmo into its own business unit! This could make the Venmo business easier to sell later down the line.

Fiona@PLAY BOTH PARANORMASIGHTS (@ThornheartCat) reportedFedEx won’t let me pay a duty… it keeps saying error when I try to use PayPal and when I put my card info in it says it’s wrong… is it because it’s a debit card and not a credit card? I don’t have a credit card, what do I look like, a functioning member of society???
