hold up

paypal will not actually by crypto for their customers, they'll just create a literal excel sheet and hope they profit from their customers buying high and selling low

they could buy not a single bitcoin but then they would essentially bet on bitcoin going down and would owe their customers a lot of money if bitcoin bubbles.

So if people buy btc on paypal now the only way for paypal to profit is when btc dumps and ppl sell

I don't feel so good

i bet paypal already sits on a big stash of bitcoin and now sells the price volatility exposure of these bitcoin to its customers while still being able to trade the coins if they want to.

Isn't this basically how they treat all foreign currency? Everything gets turned into USD before the transaction
