$PYPL This is the move.
A PayPal–Alipay partnership wouldn’t be about competition. It would be about connection.
PayPal dominates Western commerce. Alipay dominates Asia. Together, they solve the biggest unsolved problem in payments: true global interoperability. No new wallets. No behavior change. Just seamless money movement across borders, platforms, and currencies.
This isn’t about checkout buttons or tap-to-pay. It’s about owning the transaction layer of the global economy — merchants, consumers, marketplaces, tourism, cross-border commerce, FX, risk, and settlement — all connected behind the scenes.
Apple Pay optimizes convenience.
Banks protect silos.
PayPal + Alipay would build the rails.
That’s how two regional giants become a single, global financial powerhouse.
