YouTube enables PYUSD stablecoin payouts for US creators: Report

Resumen

YouTube has enabled US-based creators to receive payouts in PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, according to a report. The feature, confirmed by PayPal’s head of crypto, allows creators to accept payments in PYUSD without YouTube directly handling cryptocurrency. This integration builds on PayPal’s existing payment relationship with the platform. The move signals a shift for YouTube, which has historically restricted crypto-related content, and could significantly boost stablecoin adoption given the platform’s large user base. PYUSD, launched in 2023, has grown rapidly, with its market cap surging from around $500 million in January to $3.9 billion, aided by recent integrations with platforms like Spark and Bitfinex.

Video-sharing giant YouTube has reportedly enabled US-based creators to accept payouts in PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD.

Fortune reported on Thursday that PayPal’s head of crypto, May Zabaneh, said the feature is live, but only for users in the US. The firm integrated the ability for recipients to accept payments in PYUSD earlier this year, with YouTube ultimately opting to open that choice up to its creators.

“The beauty of what we’ve built is that YouTube doesn’t have to touch crypto and so we can help take away that complexity,” she said.

PayPal has had a long-running relationship with YouTube, with the platform allowing users to pay via its services for many years, alongside utilizing it for creator AdSense payouts.

YouTube may be warming up to crypto, after its history of shadowbanning crypto content, as digital assets are making their way into the mainstream. The move could also be a potential boon for stablecoin adoption, given the size of YouTube’s platform.

The stablecoin market has exploded over the past year as mainstream businesses, institutions and governments have moved to integrate the assets with traditional finance.

PSYUD was launched in mid-2023 and has a current market cap of $3.9 billion according to CoinGecko data. It has skyrocketed in market value since the start of the year, increasing from around $500 million in January.

A significant chunk of PYUSD’s growth has come since the start of September, when the market cap was sitting around $1 billion. During that month, PYUSD was integrated with Spark’s lending markets and Bitfinex’s Stable, an institutional-grade stablecoin blockchain.

Experienced Analyst Claims 'Hidden Bearish Divergence' in Bitcoin!

Crypto analyst Rekt Capital has identified significant technical resistance for Bitcoin around the $80,000 level on the daily chart, alongside a hidden bearish divergence between the price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The analyst notes that Bitcoin's price returned to approximately $80,000 after declines in February and June 2026, which both saw the RSI drop to near-oversold levels. However, a key difference emerged in the current scenario compared to the May 2026 rally. While the price has again risen to around $80,000, it has formed a lower peak below the previous high. Conversely, the RSI during this same period has reached a higher peak than before. In technical analysis, this pattern—where price forms lower highs while the RSI forms higher highs—is classified as a hidden bearish divergence. It suggests the current upward momentum may be weakening and not confirmed by price action, potentially signaling a resurgence of selling pressure. Rekt Capital maintains that this negative technical outlook will persist until Bitcoin decisively breaks through the $80,000 resistance zone and establishes a new, higher price peak.

The Peak of Bitcoin's Bull Cycle May Be Driven by Global Demand for ETFs

The peak of Bitcoin's current bull cycle may be driven by global institutional capital and demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs outside the US, according to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant. He suggests that while US products have opened the market to regulated participation, the next phase of growth will come from international markets like South Korea, where spot Bitcoin ETFs are not yet accessible to retail and corporate investors. Ju indicates that peak market saturation may occur when such products become widely recommended even to conservative investors globally. The adoption is extending beyond direct holdings to include tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins, which improve liquidity and infrastructure for institutional use. Although US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen massive inflows, Ju believes global institutionalization, deeper stablecoin liquidity, and RWA channels will define Bitcoin's next adoption stage. The overall potential remains significant as banks and financial institutions worldwide continue to expand their digital asset capabilities.

Dormant Bitcoin Wallets Awaken: Over 800 BTC Moved in August

In August 2026, at least 13 long-dormant Bitcoin wallets, inactive for 12 to over 15 years, became active and moved a total of approximately 818 BTC. With Bitcoin's price significantly higher, the collective value of these transactions exceeded $60 million at the time. The most notable transfer involved 212 BTC on August 18 from a wallet dormant for about 14 years, valued at roughly $13.66 million at transfer. On August 22, activity from several old wallets led to the movement of 282.31 BTC, including batches held since 2011. Another transfer on August 29 saw 10 BTC moved after over 15 years of inactivity, worth about $777,000. Smaller transfers ranging from 8.54 to 49.97 BTC occurred between August 1 and 18 from wallets inactive for 12 to 15 years. According to Galaxy Research, realized profits on individual wallets reached millions of dollars. For example, the owner of 40 BTC moved on August 26 after over 14 years of dormancy realized a profit of approximately $3.16 million, with the funds sent to an address linked to Boerse Stuttgart Digital. This activity follows a similar event in March, where a Bitcoin whale moved 2,100 BTC (over $147 million then) after nearly 13.7 years of inactivity.

ECB's Schnabel says central bank money 'should move to blockchain'

ECB Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel stated that central bank money "must move onto the blockchain." She argued that stablecoins lack the independent ability to scale liquidity during financial stress—a gap only a central bank can fill. Her proposed solution involves tokenization, which she says can make transactions faster, safer, and more programmable, but only if the safest asset (central bank money) is on the same "rails" as other tokenized assets. This marks a notable shift for the Eurosystem, which had previously viewed Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) mainly as a tool for regulating stablecoins and crypto, not as infrastructure to adopt directly. The first step is Project Pontes, launching in September. It will initially synchronize the ECB’s existing TARGET services with private DLT platforms. Eventually, it aims to enable settlement finality on a Eurosystem-managed DLT platform with smart contract functionality and 24/7 operation. The long-term strategy is Project Appia, tasked with developing the architecture, standards, and legal framework for a genuine European tokenized asset market by 2028. Trials have already processed around €1.6 billion, and since March 2026, the ECB accepts DLT-based assets as collateral. While not directly impacting Bitcoin's price, these developments signal that a major G7 central bank is preparing to settle transactions on-chain, lending legitimacy to the underlying infrastructure of crypto markets. The ECB's move to avoid "disintermediation" by private tokenization shows that debates in central bank boardrooms are now aligning with discussions long followed in the crypto space.

Ripple Labs Warns of a New Challenge for Blockchains

Ripple Labs is preparing the XRP Ledger for quantum threats but now emphasizes a broader challenge: ensuring financial infrastructure can adapt simultaneously to quantum computing and artificial intelligence. Senior Director of Engineering Ayo Akinyele states the goal is not merely anticipating a "Q-Day" but building infrastructure capable of preemptively adopting new security mechanisms without network disruption. The shift to post-quantum cryptography involves more than swapping algorithms; it requires flexible infrastructure, improved key management, and clear upgrade paths. Financial systems were not designed with quantum computers in mind, necessitating a rethink of transaction, identity, asset, and data protection. This is underscored by significant investments, such as the $2 billion U.S.-IBM quantum factory initiative and a 2030 U.S. government mandate for post-quantum cryptography adoption. AI introduces distinct risks by driving automation and autonomous economic activity, increasing demand for an always-on, internet-oriented payment infrastructure. AI agents could soon conduct transactions independently, creating new security requirements. Ripple Labs advocates for proactive, orderly preparation rather than a crisis-driven transition, having outlined a four-phase strategy aiming for a full XRP Ledger transition by 2028, now expanded to address both quantum and AI-driven challenges.
