Portfolio Pulse from Happy Mohamed
PayPal (PYPL.O) will stop allowing UK customers to buy cryptocurrencies through its platform from October 2023 to comply with new rules on crypto promotions. The company expects to restart in early 2024. The move comes as regulators worldwide are increasingly seeking to regulate crypto assets. Earlier this month, PayPal's shares got a boost when it announced the launch of a U.S. dollar stablecoin.
