The payment service provider PayPal demands the uniform Bitcoin regulation from the EU. Within the framework of a consultation, Paypal is demanding clear guidelines from the legislator – possibly also in order to achieve legal certainty for its own Bitcoin initiatives. PayPal will start offering the purchase of crypto currencies before the end of this year. Finally, PayPal appeals to the EU to respect the principle of technology neutrality. The market is to decide which crypto currencies or block chain networks are to prevail in the long term.
