Venmo, a leader in the P2P space and a subsidiary of Paypal Holdings, announced in late April the evolution of its service into crypto saying, "We are taking steps to make the management and movement of cryptocurrencies (crypto) for Venmo customers easy by introducing the ability to transfer crypto to friends and family in the Venmo community. Customers will also be able to transfer to a PayPal account and to external wallets and exchanges, delivering more choice and flexibility in how they move and manage their crypto." Looking at the history, an article in Businessmodelanalyst.com reports, "Acquired in 2013, PayPal has owned Venmo ever since. The company was launched in 2009 by two friends, Andrew Kortina and Iqram Magdon-Ismail; however, Venmo's ownership has shifted ever since, at least twice, to two different companies, lastly being acquired by PayPal LLC." "Venmo is an American mobile payment app for transferring or sending money between friends and families. In 2021, Venmo processed a total of $230 billion payment and made approximately $850 million, an almost 90% increase from what it made in 2020. Venmo is currently being used by over 80 million people, most of whom are based in the United States. Although PayPal is the current owner of Venmo, it wasn't the first to acquire the mobile paying company, as Braintree first acquired it in 2012, just three years after its launching. Less than a year later, PayPal became the owner of Braintree, indirectly becoming the owner of Venmo." Introspective Market Researchsays, "The high level of competitiveness in the market for peer-to-peer payment methods, along with the significant presence of service providers worldwide, creates opportunities for the introduction of new convenient services. This competitive environment encourages various players to offer a wide range of products and services to cater to the needs of a large user base. The intense competition drives contenders to vie for the top position, often resulting in acquisitions or collaborations with new rivals." AppTech Payments Corp. (NASDAQ: APCX) is betting its strategic partnership agreement with InstaCash, Inc. is a collaboration that will be a win-win for consumers and businesses and ultimately, its shareholders.
