With over 70 million customers and one of USA primary digital platform for users to exchange fiat currency as payment this is a big leap. A digital payment platform Venmo is essentially one step closer to having crypto be directly used as a form of currency that can be exchanged digitally. Not to say this has not been done but Venmo being publicly well known it will benefit and provide confidence to users that cryptocurrency can be a reliable form of asset.
What Venmo is Offering?

Since Venmo has a vast amount of users it also allows a form of messaging between its users with an internal IM platform. This allows users who purchased cryptocurrency to announce they have done so to spread knowledge and awareness of crypto.
Venmo also created video tutorials to teach users what is cryptocurrency and how it is used in today's economy. Direct link to Venmo's Cryptocurreny page

Thanks !wine and !LUV
Hi @logicforce, you were just shared some LUV thanks to @mawit07. Having at least 5 LUV in your wallet enables you to give up to 3 LUV per day, for free. See the LUV tokens in your wallet at https://hive-engine.com or learn about LUV at https://peakd.com/@luvshares
Sorry, you're out of LUV tokens to be sent today. Try tomorrow. (Having at least 5 LUV in your wallet allows you to freely give 3 per day.)
I wonder if they give customers access to true crypto, or if they're basically giving you crypto markers that can only be sent within the Venmo ecosystem. I know Paypal only gives customers access to Bitcoin's volatility and not to Bitcoin itself. I wonder if it's the same thing with Venmo.
Can you send crypto from Venmo to any crypto wallet or only to other Venmo users?
