YouTube Now Allows U.S. Content Creators to Get Paid in PayPal’s Stablecoin: Fortune

YouTube now offers U.S. creators payouts in PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin, which ranks as the sixth-largest with a $3.9 billion market cap, expanding crypto use in creator payments.

  • YouTube added a PYUSD payout option for U.S. creators, May Zabaneh confirmed the feature is live and Google acknowledged adding the option.
  • PayPal added recipient payout support for PYUSD, a stablecoin with a $3.9 billion market cap, across PayPal products in the past year.
  • YouTube already uses PayPal’s payouts service to pay workers, while users can hold PYUSD in PayPal’s wallet and Venmo, and Google Cloud received PYUSD from two customers.
  • The change expands PYUSD into creator income by pushing it beyond backend payments, while major platforms like Apple and Airbnb explore stablecoin payouts and fintechs Stripe and Visa watch closely.
  • Amid broader Big Tech interest, YouTube’s step follows Google and other Big Tech companies showing crypto interest, while PayPal’s $1.1 billion acquisition of Bridge highlights its early mover status.
