PayPal Letter Seems to Confirm Crypto Capability Rumors

PayPal has confirmed that it is developing capabilities in the cryptocurrency space, according to a letter to the European Commission.
根据一封PayPal给欧盟委员会的信函，PayPal已证实，其正在开发加密货币的功能。

Originally submitted on March 20, the document was intended as a response to the European Commission’s public consultation on building a European Union framework for markets in crypto assets, whose feedback period lasted from December 2019 through March.

该文件于3月20日提交，作为对欧盟委员会一个公开咨询的回复。该项咨询的内容是如何构建加密数字资产市场架构，时间从2019年12月一直持续到今年3月。

In the letter, the payments giant admitted to “continuously monitoring and evaluating global developments in the crypto and blockchain/distributed ledger space,” stressing that it favors a “harmonized” regulatory approach that wouldn’t compromise innovation.

在信函中，PayPal承认，其正在持续地关注和评估全球加密货币和区块链技术的发展，并非常乐意看到，立法工作协调一致，不会压制创新。

Further, PayPal addressed its relationship with crypto assets, noting that in 2019, it joined the Libra Association to learn “more about the proposed use of blockchain technologies to provide financial services to unbanked populations across the globe,” but later dropped out because it started to work on its own solutions in the space:

PayPal进一步强调，其与加密资产的关系。指出，在2019年PayPal加入了Libra组织，掌握了很多为全球提供金融服务的区块链应用技术。之后，PayPal开始开发自己的加密货币解决方案，退出了Libra组织。

“Since the project’s inception, PayPal has taken unilateral and tangible steps to further develop its capabilities in this area, and therefore — without questioning the value of the project — took the decision not to participate in the Libra Association and to continue to focus on advancing our existing mission and business priorities to democratize access to financial service.”

“自项目启动以来，PayPal已单方面采取了更切实可行的步骤，以开发加密货币支持功能。决定退出Libra，并非质疑其项目价值，而是更聚焦目标，充分利用自身业务优势，实现大众金融服务。”

Previous rumors

先前传言

Earlier in June, it was reported that PayPal was considering introducing direct sales of crypto assets and offering users to store their crypto using the company’s in-house digital wallet.

6月初，有报道说， PayPal正在考虑内置数字钱包，以支持加密货币资产的买卖。
When asked to confirm or deny that information, a representative for the payments juggernaut told Cointelegraph that “PayPal does not comment on rumors or speculation.”
在 Cointelegraph求证时，PayPal的代表回复，“PayPal不会对传言或炒作发表评论”

Around the same time, PayPal announced two crypto-related openings, as it was looking for blockchain and crypto engineers.

但在同一时间，PayPal发布了两项岗位信息，招聘区块链和加密货币方面的工程师。
