PayPal processed 711.92B USD of transactions during 2019. [1] It's feasible that they'll hit a trillion dollars in PV this year. While it's true that Visa/MC could lock them out if they so chose, it's incredibly unlikely.

How many of those transactions were with buyers who if PayPal were not available would have used their credit card directly instead?
