A lot of people want to purchase bitcoins with their PayPal accounts, and since PayPal is already licensed as a MSB, this just requires technology. They can build or buy (Coinbase), and make a pretty significant revenue on conversion fees. They could also charge a small fee for bitcoin transactions over a certain amount, in exchange for convenience, or, for example, transaction insurance, which can be underwritten, eliminating the risk.
