The Value of Bitcoin Transaction Exceeded the Value of PayPal Ones

According to the

research

conducted by CryptoSlate, the world’s #1 digital coin has a larger transaction volume than the e-commerce payment system PayPal.

A crypto analytics specialist

Yassine Elmandjra

published a chart on his Twitter which contained transaction values for such major financial giants as PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay etc.

With a shocking 1.3 trillion USD yearly transaction value, Bitcoin easily surpassed PayPal (maybe, that’s why

PayPal’s ex CEO dislikes it so much

) and is now coming for Visa.

While it is still a bit early to assume that Bitcoin will outrun Visa soon, since the credit card annual transaction value was nearly $9 trillion 2 years ago, we can obviously notice a positive trend for BTC.

According to the experts from CryptoSlate, if Bitcoin keeps increasing at a similar pace or quicker, it will make Visa step aside by 2022.

Although

Elmandjra provided all the sources in his chart, there were still people that disagreed with him. Some believe that a lot of

Bitcoin transactions

are conducted by scammers and speculators which makes them illegitimate.

Nevertheless, nobody can argue the fact that Bitcoin is quickly establishing itself on the world’s financial market and already became a decent competitor for the conventional payment systems.
