    Online payments provider PayPal has begun allowing users to transfer their cryptocurrency balances to other wallets and exchanges.
    It’s been “one of the most requested” features since launching crypto on PayPal in March last year, PayPal’s general manager of blockchain, crypto and digital currencies, Jose Fernandez da Ponte, said in a press release Tuesday.
    Starting Tuesday and rolling out to US customers within the next few weeks, PayPal users will be able to transfer coins into PayPal, move crypto from PayPal to other crypto wallets and exchanges, and send crypto to other PayPal users.
    PayPal accepts bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash and litecoin.
