PayPal's cryptocurrency infrastructure partner, Paxos, faced a significant financial blunder when they overpaid $510,750 for a single Bitcoin transaction.

Paxos handles PayPal's integration with cryptocurrency networks and payments, including the PayPal stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD). The error, detected by Mempool's Mononaut, raised questions about oversight and competence. Paxos admitted responsibility, stating that the incident did not impact user funds.
