The Chief Executive Officer of PayPal – Dan Schulman – reiterated his positive stance on the cryptocurrency industry. In his view, the “intersection” between digital assets, CBDCs, stablecoins, and digital wallets will “redefine a lot of the financial world going forward.”

High Hopes on Crypto

PayPal’s top executive has been an advocate of the cryptocurrency industry for a while and even אַדמיטאַד in 2019 that he owned bitcoin.

אין זיין לעצטנס רעדע at Axis Tel Aviv, Schulman doubled down on his stance, forecasting that the combination of digital assets, central bank digital currencies, stable coins, and digital wallets could reshape the monetary sector:

“The intersection between CBDC, stable coins, digital wallets, and enhanced utility of payments through cryptocurrencies is not just fascinating, but I think will redefine a lot of the financial world going forward.”

One of the most intriguing topics in the crypto space is bitcoin’s USD value and the predictions of its movements in the months and years to come. However, Schulman finds this irrelevant. To him, what matters is the merits of the digital asset industry and its ability to affect the finance world positively:

“I’m very excited about what crypto and digital ledger technology can do to the financial system going forward. I think the initial things that everyone thinks about crypto, buying and selling it, and what the price of bitcoin is going to be tomorrow, that’s the least interesting part about digital currencies to me.”
