bitFlyer Europe Launches PayPal Integration, Meaning Users Can Now Deposit Funds and Purchase Cryptocurrencies Using Their PayPal Accounts
21.9.2020 08:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Leading cryptocurrency exchange bitFlyer has announced an integration with global payments platform PayPal.
The integration means that PayPal’s millions of European users can now deposit funds to the bitFlyer Europe platform to buy cryptocurrencies safely and securely. The integration is the latest step by bitFlyer to deliver on their mission of making cryptocurrency trading safer and more accessible globally, and to support and protect users who may be new to cryptocurrency as well as more experienced traders.
Andy Bryant, COO of bitFlyer Europe, said, “We’re proud to offer users the opportunity to use their PayPal accounts to deposit funds for purchasing crypto. The integration of PayPal adds a new funding source for bitFlyer users. Thousands of bitFlyer users already use PayPal for fiat transactions. Now, users can purchase bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the same way too.”
The integration provides bitFlyer users with an alternative to the traditional deposit payment methods currently accessible via the bitFlyer Europe trading platform, including wire transfers. Traditional payment methods can often take up to three business days for deposits to clear. With PayPal, deposits are typically nearly instant.
Jacek Bastin, Business Strategy Manager at bitFlyer Europe , added: "The cryptocurrency space is still in its infancy, and despite the ecosystem growing, the industry is still daunting for newcomers. Given that approximately a third of European e-commerce payments are being processed through PayPal, we are more than thrilled to provide users with a deposit method they know and rely upon. The process to deposit through PayPal is entirely frictionless, secure and reliable, with users to be credited near to instantly".
bitFlyer Europe launched in January 2018 as a fully owned subsidiary of bitFlyer, Inc., a household name in the cryptocurrency space in Japan, and one of the longest-standing cryptocurrency exchanges. bitFlyer is the only cryptocurrency exchange that is regulated in Japan, the US and Europe combined, and has also been recognised as one of only 10 exchanges that isn’t faking trading volumes.

New CSC Report Illustrates How AI Is Affecting Enterprise Security Leaders16.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
CSC, an enterprise-class domain registrar and world leader in mitigating brand, fraud, domain, and domain name system (DNS) threats, today released new research on how chief information security officers (CISOs) are adapting to an evolving artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem while managing traditional cyber threats, such as DNS outages. According to CSC’s CISO Outlook 2026 report, 73% of respondents say AI presents more of an opportunity than a risk for cybersecurity. However, these security leaders continue to face challenges in addressing attacks, including AI-powered domain generation algorithms (DGAs), which 86% of respondents cite as a threat. To thoroughly understand the CISO perspective on today’s cybersecurity landscape, CSC surveyed 300 senior executives—including CISOs, chief technology officers (CTOs), chief information officers (CIOs), and heads of cybersecurity—in Q1 2026. Key findings from the CISO Outlook 2026 report include: Respondents ranked the top three threats i
Airship Helps DIE ZEIT Turn Silent Advocates into 4.9-Star Rating16.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Airship, the mobile-first customer experience company, today announced that DIE ZEIT, one of Germany’s largest and most prestigious publishers, has successfully transformed its mobile app presence, lifting the Google Play app store rating from 2.7 stars in early 2026 to a near-perfect 4.9 stars. At a time when many traditional publishers are seeing readership numbers plummet, DIE ZEIT is growing — reaching an all-time high circulation in 2025 and building a digital ecosystem around the brand. The majority of the publication’s readers are now digital, but the publication’s app store rating for DIE ZEIT didn’t match this momentum. DIE ZEIT was up against a universal challenge faced by digital product teams and customer experience executives globally: the "silent advocate" problem. While highly satisfied customers rarely pause their reading experience to leave public reviews, users facing temporary, one-off frustrations are highly motivated to voice complaints. This discrepancy often lead

TestMu AI Introduces DevTools Assertions in Kane CLI, Enabling Browser-Level Validation Through Natural Language16.6.2026 15:30:00 EEST | Press release
TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world's first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, today announced DevTools Assertions for Kane CLI, enabling developers and AI agents to validate browser internals using natural language. Traditional browser automation focuses on what users can see: buttons, forms, text, and visual states. However, modern web applications depend heavily on browser activity that remains invisible to users, including network requests, API responses, console logs, cookies, local storage, and performance metrics. With DevTools Assertions, Kane CLI extends browser validation beyond the UI, allowing teams to verify these underlying signals using plain-English objectives. Developers can now write objectives such as: "Click Add to Cart and assert the request to /api/cart returned status 200." "Run the checkout flow and assert the console has no errors." "Log in and store the session cookie value." "Assert localStorage contains the selected product ID." "Open th
