## Source summary
In a Tearsheet interview, PayPal SVP Jeff Pomeroy says Australia and Europe are live on PayPal's unified payment stack and that the remaining migration is expected by year-end. He says hundreds of merchants tested self-serve network tokenization and all but one retained it, while his expanded Payment Services & Crypto organization now combines enterprise, small-business, crypto and agentic-commerce work.
## Why it matters
A single stack can let global merchants keep one integration while PayPal changes routing, processing and value-added services underneath it. Combining crypto and agentic commerce with that stack could reduce product fragmentation in cross-border settlement and delegated payments. These are executive-reported milestones: the article does not independently verify authorization uplift, new corridor coverage, processing volume, agent-executed payments or cost savings.
