Big Tech continues to tiptoe into crypto. The latest example is a move by YouTube to let creators on the video platform choose to receive payouts in PayPal’s stablecoin. The head of crypto at PayPal, May Zabaneh, confirmed the arrangement to Fortune, adding that the feature is live and, as of now, only applies to users in the U.S.

Why Circle’s CEO Says Stablecoin Regulation Is Essential | Leadership Next

A spokesperson for Google, which owns YouTube, confirmed the video site has added payouts for creators in PayPal’s stablecoin but declined to comment further.

YouTube is already an existing customer of PayPal’s and uses the fintech giant’s payouts service, which helps large enterprises pay gig workers and contractors.


Early in the third quarter, PayPal added the capability for payment recipients to receive their checks in PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD. Afterwards, YouTube decided to give that option to creators, who receive a share of earnings from the content they post on the platform, said Zabaneh.

“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 added.

Big Tech eyes stablecoins
YouTube’s interest in stablecoins comes as Google and other Big Tech companies have shown interest in the cryptocurrencies amid a wave of hype in Silicon Valley and beyond.

The tokens, which are pegged to underlying assets like the U.S. dollar, are longtime features of the crypto industry. But over the past year, they’ve exploded into the mainstream, especially after President Donald Trump signed into law a new bill regulating the crypto assets. Proponents say they are an upgrade over existing financial infrastructure, and big fintechs have taken notice, including Stripe. In February, the payments giant closed a blockbuster $1.1 billion purchase of the stablecoin startup Bridge.



PayPal has long been an earlier mover in crypto among large tech firms. In 2020, it let users buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a handful of other cryptocurrencies. And, in 2023, it launched the PYSUD stablecoin, which now has a market capitalization of nearly $4 billion, according to CoinGecko.

PayPal has slowly integrated PYUSD throughout its stable of products. Users can hold it in its digital wallet as well as Venmo, another financial app that PayPal also owns. They can use it to pay merchants. And, in February, a PayPal executive said small-to-medium sized merchants will be able to use it to pay vendors.

YouTube’s addition of payouts in PYUSD isn’t the first time Google has experimented with PayPal’s stablecoin. An executive at Google Cloud, the tech giant’s cloud computing arm, previously toldFortune that it had received payments from two of its customers in PYUSD.

Because ads have been on TV pretty much since the beginning. Things without ads are new and unusual.

Week recap of Shanny4Christ


Last week on MATI Jersh left off with Shanny and Rev/Jason ( Baby Carrot ) fighting.

While Rev was left home alone, he proceeded to go live and stream his disgust with her and state that he was over their relationship. Rev also came forward and revealed that he was talking to a girl he had met through the internet. (Many believe...

End of the year financial statement btw: I never came close to recovering from being deplatformed by Gumroad and I'm at about a third what I was last December. Gumroad had been stable and deplatforming resistant for years and then when I touch down, the very same week, I'm booted off.

A while ago you said that locals stuck their neck out for platforming you and that channel memberships on rumble help legitimize your stream. This was after the gumroad shoah. Forgive me for sounding like a broken record as this is the third time I've asked this but between the rumble membership, the locals, or the gumroad, which do you prefer? I'm currently on the locals and have a rumble membership but never went back to gumroad just because.

It does not matter. I think they both take 10%. Rumble is harder to sign up for. Gumroad makes it harder for people to find recent content. I post the same things to both.
