PayPal will temporarily halt crypto purchases in the United Kingdom starting from Oct. 1, 2023, expecting to reenable the service in early 2024.
Cryptocurrency-friendly payments platform PayPal is making some crypto adjustments on its platform in the United Kingdom to comply with local financial regulations.
PayPal is temporarily pausing the ability for its U.K. customers to buy cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin
as it works to comply with new regulations, the firm told Cointelegraph on Aug. 16.
“PayPal customers who currently hold crypto can keep it on our platform at no charge and are also able to sell their currency at any time,” a spokesperson for PayPal UK noted.
In an email to select U.K. customers, PayPal said that it would temporarily halt cryptocurrency purchases in the U.K. starting from Oct. 1, 2023. “We expect to re-enable crypto purchases in early 2024,” PayPal added.
PayPal said it had decided to take this measure in response to new rules enacted by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that require crypto firms to adopt some additional steps before clients can buy cryptocurrency.
“While we work to satisfy these new regulations, you won’t be able to buy crypto using PayPal,” the announcement reads.
