  Everyone said @solana's data infrastructure was solved. Our co-founder, Dominique spent 15 years in databases and knew it wasn't. Birdeye and Codex proved the market existed. They built a great product. But here's what happens to every successful company: as they grow, they move further away from the builders actually using the data. Feedback loops slow down. Edge cases get ignored. Power users emerge, who don't fit the original product. The pricing model stops making sense. The latency stops being good enough. This is where raptor[dot]trade found our opening. Databases have been used the same way for 40+ years. ingest → recalculate → serve stale data. repeat. nobody challenged it because the pain wasn't visible enough, until a few seconds of latency (post-compute) can catastrophic for anyone running serious strategies. So we built a new storage engine from scratch. incremental deltas only. No recalculation. ACID guarantees. 600K transactions per second. P98 latency of 6ms. the result: 99.7% lower cost-to-serve. one URL swap to switch from Birdeye, and we will work with @getblockio and @Shyft_to as our first partners to launch this. PayPal led to Stripe. Adobe led to Figma. Birdeye and Codex led to raptor[dot]trade. The first generation proves the market. The second reimagines the architecture for the power users the first generation left behind. That's where we aspire to be🔥

  This is extremely bullish for $PYPL. In fact, it is screaming bullish. BUT (a big but), the only issue is the price. Both fundamentals and technicals need to align for the stock to truly recover. Today, the market would rather pay 156x forward earnings for $MRVL than 8x forward earnings and 1x sales for PayPal. I don't make the rules, I just play the game.

  BREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.

  Currently, to prevent problems, we are only accepting requests via X DM from individuals whose online activity on platforms such as streaming and video can be verified, and only with a "full prepayment via PayPal/no illustration revisions" system.

  Drew Mia Winters as a mannequin laying on the basement table faceup. I also posted this as a product (a print) on my website, but the shop section isnt loading when I click on it as I write this. Maybe my site's shop section cant handle the load its getting?! Whatever, but thanks for looking. I think if people would eventually be interested in buying a few prints from me, I'd just ask them for their order and send them an invoice through paypal and do it that way. I don't understand why the websites I make keep getting problems. ughh

  @libsoftiktok @PayPal They're garbage. I have a few bucks sitting there that can't be moved unless I give them time of KYC. I told them ***. This is why people need NON-CUSTODIAL crypto and wallets. CakeWallet and Monero fix this. BTC has claims but it's a fully traceable NFT.

  Fun fact. Now that Stipe/Ko-Fi changed the way they check business information (in the EU). I am now stuck in a loop of: document shows my POBox, it does not accept POBox as a valid address, give private address, address doesn’t match document so is not approved... I already have a rich past of having problems with Ko-Fi and these payment systems, so I am kind of just done trying. Soon (in like 40 days) you will only be able to pay there with the PayPal options (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo etc.). If you would ever want to tip me and are unable to use these payment options; you can also use the donation tab on digivt. store or the spicy blue site 💙

  PayPal Ventures is winding down That is not just a cost-cutting story. It is PayPal giving up one of its windows into fintech before the next wave hits. The venture arm launched in 2016, backed more than 80 companies, and raised $850M across three funds. Its portfolio included Plaid, Anchorage Digital, Divvy, Talos, and other companies building the infrastructure around payments, crypto, banking, and fintech APIs. Now PayPal is restructuring. New CEO Enrique Lores is trying to simplify the company, refocus around core businesses, and make PayPal a technology company again. That makes the venture shutdown awkward. Corporate venture is not only about financial returns. For incumbents, it is market radar. A CVC fund lets a company see what founders are building before the category becomes obvious. Which payment rails are getting traction. Which compliance problems are becoming startups. Which fintech APIs are replacing internal roadmaps. Which crypto or banking infrastructure layers are moving from experiment to enterprise. PayPal can still partner, acquire, or invest later. But shutting down the venture arm means fewer early signals from the edge of fintech. The company is trying to get sharper. It may also be narrowing the lens right as fintech is getting rebuilt again.

  @codeofvets @PayPal @PayPal isn't worth the trouble. IF you are successful in using them again, you will never be able to trust they won't do it again. There are so many other safe options. Count it as a blessing, and never think of them again.

  She wasn't alone. Across Southeast Asia we kept meeting the same person — different country, different job, same problem. A nurse in Manila sending money home to her family. A developer in Ho Chi Minh City waiting on a US client payment. A freelancer in Bangkok juggling Wise, PayPal, and a local bank just to get paid. All of them losing time. All of them losing money. Every single month.

  My biggest problem wasn't analytics. It was integration. Stripe still isn't available in my country, unfortunately. Most of my businesses run on WordPress with local payment gateways, PayPal, WooCommerce, FluentCart, and Easy Digital Downloads. The analytics tools I used weren't built around that setup.
