Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic#bot-vs…

Today we’re announcing $1 billion in new funds to back the bold founders shaping the next era of finance and technology.
I’ve been following the flow of assets my entire career and have never seen a more dynamic time. Financial infrastructure is being rebuilt from the ground up, new assets and markets are emerging, and an agentic economy is developing as AI agents begin to transact on behalf of humans. These areas, among others, are what will define the coming years as we deploy these new funds.
We’re excited for what’s ahead, and wrote about our thesis in the post below.

Balancing what works today with what's coming tomorrow is one of the hardest challenges at scale. The innovator's dilemma shouldn't slow you down, it’s a call to build.
To rebuild payments for the next decade, we need new rails. Stablecoins are a key part of that future, and we're integrating $PYUSD across @PayPal to deliver more speed, flexibility and global reach.

“One of the challenges when you are at a certain scale and you’ve been around for a while is the very classic innovator’s dilemma,” Alex Chriss, the president and CEO of PayPal, told Fortune. trib.al/G3egl9l

We reported our third quarter results this morning. @PayPal delivered another strong quarter with broad-based profitable growth across branded experiences, @Venmo, and PSP. We also announced a new partnership with @OpenAI to expand payments and commerce in ChatGPT.
PayPal is a company today than we were two years ago. We returned the company to growth and are on pace for 6 to 7 percent transaction margin dollar growth, excluding interest on customer balances, in 2025. Here are some highlights 👇
🔵U.S. branded experiences (online and offline) volume accelerated to 10%, more than double our growth a year ago
🔵Venmo revenue was up more than 20% and TPV grew 14%
🔵Added 2 million first-time PayPal and Venmo debit card users in the U.S.
🔵Buy Now, Pay Later volume grew more than 20%
🔵Payment Service Provider (PSP) volume returned to healthy, profitable growth at 6%
🔵 We are also building for an agentic future, partnering with leaders such as @Google, @OpenAI, and @perplexity_ai
Given this strong momentum, we are raising our full year 2025 guidance for transaction margin dollars and earnings per share.
We're also excited to announce that we are initiating a dividend, which demonstrates our ability to invest in growth and return capital to shareholders.
Thank you to the hundreds of millions of merchants and consumers who trust PayPal every day, to our developers and partners, and to the PayPal team for your hard work and dedication. We are exceptionally well-positioned to win into the future. đź’Ş

Some of the companies that built the last era of finance are re-architecting money for the next one: open, data-driven, and global.
At @PayPal, we’re focused on enabling the future of commerce through technology like PayPal USD (PYUSD), a stablecoin designed for real-world commerce. 👏
