According to the survey conducted by Mizuho Securities, after Paypal adopted cryptocurrency to its platform, almost 20% of Paypal users have traded using its app. And it was stated on the survey that there has been a remarkable increase of 50% in the use of the Paypal app by PayPal bitcoin traders after beginning to trade bitcoin.

And when you add that PayPal is always in control of their funds and that those people cannot really get their bitcoin out of the platform then I think it is very safe to say that those people are not trading bitcoin, they are just trading a bunch of numbers on a screen believing they are trading bitcoin, at least the centralized exchanges that we have allow you to withdraw your coins to a wallet of your own but this is not possible with PayPal.
