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. https://t.co/2zX5bHdhsa
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.
Excited to share @PayPal's support of @Google's Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) as the next phase of our expanded partnership announced last fall.
This is a milestone moment making agentic commerce a reality for consumers.
Let's go @sundarpichai! 🚀
We’re teaming up with @Microsoft to power their launch of Copilot Checkout, making it easier for shoppers to discover, decide, and complete purchases in one place: https://t.co/1SaAEiKram
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. https://t.co/7bdXlfQIwc
Great to meet with UK Business Secretary @peterkyle.
The UK has always been important to @PayPal. We power payments for millions of British businesses and consumers every day, and our £150M investment is about continuing that commitment: driving innovation, supporting small businesses, and strengthening the digital economy.
Excited to keep building here! 🇬🇧
Great conversation at the @dealbook Summit with @nytdavidbrooks on "The New Rules for Leadership".
We discussed how leaders navigate competing demands - driving results while managing innovation and societal expectations.

PayPal and @Venmo showed up for our consumers and merchants during Cyber Week - Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday - this year! Our team worked hard to help merchants win every sale and made it easy and rewarding for consumers to check out in-store and online. For the first time ever, consumers could check out directly inside of an agentic chat with @PayPal on @perplexity_ai. Here are some highlights from Cyber Week:
@perplexity_ai@PayPal Great milestone for the Perplexity and @PayPal teams—bringing quick, secure payments to innovative shopping experiences just in time for Black Friday!!
Excited to partner with @perplexity_ai to power seamless agentic shopping experiences. Starting next week, customers will be able to search, shop and pay for their holiday purchases with @PayPal in Perplexity.
Let’s go! @AravSrinivas 🚀
