YouTube Adds Stablecoin Payout Option for US Creators Through PayPal Partnership

TLDR

  • YouTube now allows US creators to receive payouts in PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin instead of traditional cash payments
  • PayPal handles all crypto conversions, so YouTube continues to operate in fiat currency while creators can opt into PYUSD
  • PYUSD market cap has grown from $500 million in January to $3.9 billion currently
  • The feature uses PayPal’s existing mass payout infrastructure that already pays YouTube creators, gig workers and contractors
  • Google Cloud has previously accepted PYUSD payments from two customers, showing broader company interest in stablecoin integration

YouTube has enabled US-based creators to receive their earnings in PYUSD, PayPal’s dollar-backed stablecoin. The feature went live recently but remains limited to users based in the United States.

May Zabaneh, PayPal’s head of crypto, confirmed the launch to Fortune. A Google spokesperson also verified that YouTube now supports creator payouts in PayPal’s stablecoin but declined to share additional details about the rollout.

YouTube already uses PayPal’s mass payout system to pay creators, gig workers and contractors. Earlier this year, PayPal added an option allowing payment recipients to receive funds in PYUSD instead of cash balances.

YouTube then extended that choice to creators who earn revenue from ads and subscriptions on their videos. The setup means PayPal manages the entire crypto conversion process on the backend.

In practice, YouTube continues to work with PayPal using traditional fiat currency. PayPal then converts the payouts into PYUSD for creators who choose the stablecoin option.

This structure reduces the technical and regulatory requirements for YouTube. The video platform does not need to directly handle cryptocurrency operations.

PayPal’s Growing Stablecoin Push

PayPal launched PYUSD in mid-2023. The stablecoin now has a market capitalization of $3.9 billion according to CoinGecko data.

The token has grown rapidly since the start of this year. Its market cap stood at approximately $500 million in January.

Much of the growth happened after September, when PYUSD’s market cap was around $1 billion. During that month, the stablecoin integrated with Spark’s lending markets and Bitfinex’s Stable platform.

PayPal first enabled buying and selling of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies in 2020. The company has positioned PYUSD as a central part of its blockchain strategy.

Expanding PYUSD Use Cases

Users can hold PYUSD in PayPal’s main wallet and in Venmo. The stablecoin can be spent at supported merchants.

Starting this year, small and medium-sized businesses can use PYUSD as a settlement asset when paying vendors. The YouTube integration extends PYUSD’s reach to millions of potential creators.

Creators can now choose to hold their earnings in a dollar-backed stablecoin rather than receive traditional bank deposits. This gives them another option in YouTube’s monetization toolkit.

Google Cloud has also experimented with PYUSD. A Google Cloud executive previously told Fortune that the division accepted payments from two customers using PayPal’s stablecoin.

PayPal has maintained a long relationship with YouTube. Users have been able to pay for YouTube services through PayPal for many years, and the platform has used PayPal for creator AdSense payouts.

President Donald Trump signed new federal legislation on stablecoin oversight earlier this year. Payments company Stripe acquired stablecoin firm Bridge for $1.1 billion in February.

Investors Pull Millions from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Ahead of Powell’s Speech

Investors Pull Millions from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Ahead of Powell’s Speech

        Highlights:  Investors withdrew millions from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs ahead of Powell’s speech. Bitcoin trades near $113,000 support, while Ethereum holds just above $4,200 levels. Analysts see mixed trends, citing liquidity sell-offs and weakening on-chain profitability signals.  A few hours before Fed Chair Jerome Powell spoke at 11:30 a.m. ET, investors pulled large amounts from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This showed caution in the market. Bitcoin is trading near key support levels, and Powell’s speech could decide its next direction.  Bitcoin ETFs See Major Outflows On September 22, neither spot Bitcoin ETFs nor Ethereum ETFs had any new inflows, reflecting a risk-off mood among investors. Bitcoin ETFs posted a total net outflow of $363.17 million, led by Fidelity’s FBTC with $276.68 million. Ark & 21Shares followed with $52.30 million, Grayscale’s GBTC withdrew $24.65 million, and VanEck’s HOLD had a small sale of $9.54 million.  Overall trading reached $3.43 billion, with total net assets at $148.09 billion, showing strong user activity and growing confidence in the asset. This represents 6.59% of the total Bitcoin market capitalization. Ethereum ETFs Face $76 Million Outflow On the other hand, Ethereum ETFs recorded a total net outflow of $75.95 million on Monday. Fidelity’s FETH led with $33.12 million, followed by Bitwise ETHW and Grayscale ETH at $22.30 million and $5.4 million, respectively. BlackRock’s ETHA withdrew $15.07 million. None of the nine ETFs saw any inflows that day. The total trading value of Ethereum ETFs reached $2.06 billion, showing steady market activity and a strong industry position. Net assets stood at $27.52 billion, representing 5.45% of Ethereum’s total market capitalization. The outflows follow a pattern of ups and downs seen earlier this year. Ethereum ETFs saw a change in investor interest. Fidelity and Bitwise led most of the withdrawals. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF had some inflows that partially balanced the trend. Since their launch in July last year, spot Ethereum ETFs have gathered more than $13 billion in total net inflows. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s legacy trust experienced outflows exceeding $4.5 billion, as investors shifted to newer, lower-fee options. Outflows often happen when Bitcoin’s price becomes volatile. Investors usually pull funds if the price drops below key support levels.  On September 22, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded total net outflows of $363 million, with none of the 12 funds seeing inflows. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw total net outflows of $75.95 million, with all nine funds posting no inflows.https://t.co/Hj2Gs49bWa pic.twitter.com/YqCrJSMnIg — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) September 23, 2025  Fed’s Recent Rate Cut and Market Impact Today’s speech follows the Fed’s recent rate cut. The quarter-point cut lowered rates to 4.00%-4.25%. Powell said the move was for risk management, not aggressive easing. He added that risks to jobs have increased. The Fed decided to take another step toward a neutral policy. Markets are waiting to see if the Fed will stay cautious or signal more rate cuts. This decision could guide Bitcoin’s next move. BTC is trading around $113,000, with support near $111,000. Ethereum is just above $4,200. The Fear & Greed Index is at 40, showing neutral sentiment. Analysts have different views. Joao Wedson from Alphractal says BTC’s cycle “is losing momentum” as on-chain profits fall. Michaël van de Poppe refers to the drop as a “classic liquidity sell-off” which could trigger a rebound. Altcoins now come into view for some analysts as the next opportunity. The altcoin-season index last reached a record high since last year with rising rotation.  Bitcoin is already showing signs of cycle exhaustion — and very few are seeing it. The SOPR Trend Signal is excellent at signaling when blockchain profitability is drying up.Never in Bitcoin’s history have investors accumulated BTC so late and at such high prices.Maybe only… pic.twitter.com/I1GBdEJH03 — Joao Wedson (@joao_wedson) September 22, 2025     eToro Platform    Best Crypto Exchange   Over 90 top cryptos to trade Regulated by top-tier entities User-friendly trading app 30+ million users    9.9   Visit eToro eToro is a multi-asset investment platform.
