ENS integrated on PayPal and Venmo for swift cryptocurrency transfers
ENS Labs, the team behind the web3 domain naming system Ethereum Name Service, announced today that it has integrated its naming solution into PayPal and Venmo. Users of both platforms can now transfer their cryptocurrency using a domain name instead of a wallet address.
ENS is a domain naming system built on the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to convert long addresses into simpler letters or names for easier recognition.
We’re thrilled to announce that @ensdomains is now supported on @PayPal & @Venmo!

With the integration of ENS to PayPal and Venmo, users can easily make cryptocurrency transfers by applying a domain name instead of copying a string of alphanumeric figures or scanning QR codes. The announcement stated that users could also store and revisit previous names with which they have completed transactions through the Address Book feature. Currently, the ENS integration is only available to US PayPal and Venmo users.
ENS rallied nearly 5% following the announcement, with its open interest rising nearly 10% in the past 24 hours.
