YouTube Goes Crypto: PYUSD Stablecoin Payout Option Now Live For US Creators

Özet

YouTube has introduced a new payout option allowing U.S.-based creators to receive earnings in PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin. The feature, now active, uses PayPal’s existing payment infrastructure rather than direct crypto handling by YouTube. Earnings are calculated in dollars by YouTube and converted to PYUSD by PayPal, which then distributes the tokens. Currently available only to U.S. creators, the option applies to monetized revenue like ads and memberships. It offers flexibility to hold, spend via PayPal-supported platforms, or convert to fiat, though tax and custody implications differ from traditional bank transfers. PYUSD’s circulation has grown to nearly $4 billion since its 2023 launch.

YouTube has quietly added a new payout option that lets creators in the US receive earnings in PayPal’s dollar-pegged token, PYUSD. According to several reports, the change appears to be active now and is being offered through PayPal’s payout rails rather than through any direct crypto custody by YouTube.

How The Option Works

PayPal’s head of crypto, May Zabaneh, confirmed the setup to Fortune and said the company uses its existing payout network to deliver PYUSD to recipients who opt in.

That means YouTube will still calculate and send creator earnings in dollars to PayPal’s system, and PayPal is then responsible for the conversion to the stablecoin and distribution to creators. The move builds on PayPal’s broader push to offer stablecoin tools to businesses and individual users.

PYUSD was introduced by PayPal in 2023 and has since been plugged into services such as Venmo and PayPal’s merchant tools. Reports have made clear that YouTube itself is not holding or moving crypto on behalf of creators; PayPal handles the token side.

Scope And Availability

For the moment, the option is available only to creators based in the US. A Google spokesperson confirmed the rollout but declined to share a schedule for any expansion beyond American users.

Creators who qualify for YouTube’s monetization programs may be able to opt into the new payout method for monthly earnings like ad revenue and paid memberships.

Some creators will value the extra choice. Receiving PYUSD could let a creator hold a dollar-pegged token onchain, spend it where PayPal tools accept it, or convert back to fiat through PayPal.

There are tradeoffs: holding a stablecoin brings different custody and tax considerations than a straight bank transfer. Reporting systems and bank rules may differ depending on how the creator finally cashes out.

What Creators Should Expect

The signup step should be familiar to anyone who already uses PayPal payouts on YouTube; it will likely appear as an alternative payment method in creator settings.

Once chosen, payments will flow through PayPal’s established payout system and show up as PYUSD in the recipient’s compatible wallet or PayPal balance, per the descriptions circulating in the trade press.

PYUSD In Numbers

PYUSD’s onchain presence has grown rapidly. Market trackers list the stablecoin with close to $4 billion in circulating value and roughly 3.8 billion tokens in supply at the moment, figures that underline how much the token has expanded since launch.

"The Big Short" Prototype Doubles Down on AI Crash Bets: Continues Shorting NVIDIA, Palantir, While Buying Software Stocks

"Big Short" legend Michael Burry is ramping up his bet against the AI frenzy. While the Nasdaq hits record highs and Nvidia's market cap nears $5.3 trillion, Burry is maintaining and expanding his bearish positions. He continues to hold put options on Nvidia and Palantir, has added direct short positions in Palantir, and expanded puts on semiconductor ETF SOXX, Nasdaq 100 ETF QQQ, and Oracle. Simultaneously, he is buying traditional software stocks like Adobe, Autodesk, Salesforce, and Veeva Systems, which he sees as unfairly punished by the AI narrative. This creates a complete long-short hedge portfolio betting on an "AI bubble repricing." Burry's thesis is that AI infrastructure is overbuilt, comparing Nvidia to Cisco during the dot-com bubble. He argues major cloud providers are extending GPU depreciation schedules to inflate profits and that demand projections are overly optimistic. While his Palantir short is currently profitable, his Nvidia puts are deeply underwater as the stock nears all-time highs. He remains undeterred, believing a market correction will see overvalued AI beneficiaries fall and oversold "AI loser" stocks rebound.

"The Big Short" Burry and Legendary Investor Jones Warn in Unison: AI Frenzy Reminiscent of Pre-Crash 2000

Michael Burry, famous for predicting the U.S. housing market crash, warns that the current stock market obsession with artificial intelligence resembles the final stages of the dot-com bubble. In a recent post, Burry noted that financial media is dominated by AI talk, and markets no longer react logically to economic data like jobs reports or consumer sentiment. Instead, stocks are rising simply because they have been rising, driven by a widely accepted two-letter narrative—AI—akin to late 1999 and early 2000. He compared the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index's sharp rally to the period just before the March 2000 tech crash. Similarly, legendary macro trader Paul Tudor Jones compared the AI-driven rally to the pre-dot-com bubble era of 1999, suggesting the bull market might have another year or two to run. However, he cautioned that if valuations continue to expand—potentially pushing the stock market capitalization to GDP ratio to 300-350%—a severe and dramatic correction would eventually follow. Both investors highlight the exuberant, speculative fervor around AI stocks, drawing parallels to past market manias preceding significant downturns.
