YouTube Enables PayPal Stablecoin Payments for Content Creators

2025/12/12 17:12

YouTube has enabled PayPal stablecoin (PYSUD) payments to US-based content creators. PayPal’s head of crypto, May Zabaneh, confirmed the arrangement to Fortune on Friday.

YouTube will not be handling crypto and will let PayPal do the work on its behalf, added Zabaneh.

Google also confirmed the move to the outlet but did not elaborate with further details.

Stablecoin Payment Landscape Growing

YouTube already uses PayPal services to help large enterprises pay gig workers and contractors, it stated.

Earlier this year, PayPal added the capability for payment recipients to receive their pay in PYUSD, the centralized stablecoin it launched in 2023.

PYUSD has grown since then to become the world’s sixth-largest stablecoin with a market capitalization of $3.9 billion. Its supply is more than a billion dollars, more than the Trump family’s World Liberty Finance stablecoin, USD1.

The fintech firm has been integrating the stablecoin across its products, including Venmo, merchant payments, and vendor payouts. Google Cloud has also previously accepted PYUSD payments from customers. In July, PayPal launched “Pay with Crypto,” allowing merchants to accept payments in over 100 cryptocurrencies with automatic conversion to stablecoins or fiat currency.

PayPal also rolled out peer-to-peer crypto transfers in September, allowing users to send Bitcoin, Ethereum, and PYUSD to friends, family, and external wallets using shareable links.

Stablecoin Ecosystem Outlook

The total market capitalization for stablecoins is at record highs of over $300 billion, according to crypto analytics platforms.

It represents around 10% of the entire crypto market capitalization, according to CoinGecko, and there has been huge growth in 2025, following the passage of the GENIUS Act in the US.

Tether remains the dominant industry player with 60% market share, while PayPal’s PYUSD is just 1.2% despite recent growth.

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
