BlockBeats News, June 18th, according to Fortune, PayPal Holdings is gradually shutting down its 10-year-old corporate venture capital department PayPal Ventures and considering selling part of its investment portfolio through the secondary market. The department's staff has been reduced from over 10 people at the end of 2025 to only 2. The company has hired the investment bank Jefferies to assist in related potential transactions. A PayPal spokesperson stated that the company is "exploring strategic options for its corporate venture capital business" but did not disclose further details.
