🔔 Dogecoin holds $0.10 as Paxos deal opens door to PayPal and Venmo’s 100M+ users
⚠️ House of Doge, the official corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation, has announced a strategic partnership with Paxos that will route DOGE into Paxos’ regulated crypto brokerage and custody stack, potentially putting Dogecoin in front of PayPal and Venmo’s mainstream user bases, just as the token trades near $0.10 with a market capitalization of about $16.9 billion. In a GlobeNewswire release, House of Doge said the deal will “integrate the listing of Dogecoin (DOGE) across Paxos’ enterprise‑grade crypto brokerage and custody infrastructure,” opening distribution via clients including PayPal, Venmo, Interactive Brokers and Mercado Libre across more than 150 countries.
🌐 The partnership is explicitly about scale: Paxos “powers crypto brokerage and infrastructure solutions for a number of globally recognized platforms, including PayPal, Venmo, Interactive Brokers, and Mercado Libre,” while the Dogecoin side frames this as a bridge to “hundreds of millions of users” reachable through that network.
📊 “This partnership with Paxos represents a major step forward in accelerating global access for Dogecoin,” House of Doge CEO Marco Margiotta said, adding that “by integrating with Paxos’ trusted and regulated infrastructure, we are creating a powerful pathway for leading global fintech platforms to make Dogecoin accessible to their users.” Paxos, for its part, has already been the back‑end engine for PayPal’s crypto services and the issuer of its PYUSD stablecoin, which PayPal recently expanded to 70 markets, reinforcing the idea that DOGE is hitching a ride on a maturing, regulated payments stack rather than a pure meme trade.
