Details

YouTube has begun allowing U.S. creators to select PayPal’s flagship stablecoin PYUSD as a payout option.

May Zabaneh, Head of Crypto Business at PayPal, confirmed this integration, which is built on the PayPal Business Payments Network, allowing YouTube to avoid directly handling crypto assets. As existing PayPal customers, YouTube adopted this option following PayPal’s early rollout of stablecoin payment features earlier this year.

PYUSD, issued by Paxos and launched in August 2023, aims to facilitate seamless exchanges, cross-border transfers, subscription payments, merchant payouts, and near-instant settlements within the PayPal ecosystem. The stablecoin focuses on daily commercial applications, aiming to reduce banking delays and protect users from volatility risks.

PYUSD has seen widespread adoption and is now supported by a stablecoin settlement platform on a payment platform, alongside Global Dollar (USDG) and Circle’s EURC. According to CoinGecko data, this token has grown to become the sixth-largest stablecoin, with a market cap of $3.9 billion.

Another stablecoin payment option, in theory, should be feasible, but how many creators can actually use it...
