#You Tube opens creator PYUSD stablecoin payment $BTC
On December 12, 2025, YouTube officially launched the PYUSD stablecoin payment feature, but this feature is currently only available to creators in the United States. This move is based on its existing partnership with PayPal and represents a significant substantive layout of traditional internet giants in the crypto field. Here are the specific details:
1. Function implementation method: YouTube adopts a 'clean layered' architecture that can avoid the risks of holding crypto assets. It still issues dollar disbursement instructions to PayPal, which completes the conversion from fiat currency to PYUSD on the backend and then transfers it to the creators' wallets. This method allows Google to control the flow of funds without directly touching cryptocurrencies, reducing the pressure on technology and compliance.
2. Relevant background support: At the beginning of the third quarter of this year, PayPal upgraded its platform to allow payees to receive PYUSD payments, while YouTube has long been an enterprise-level user of PayPal, using its payment services to settle payments for creators. This new payment method is a further extension of the cooperation between the two parties. Currently, the market value of PYUSD has exceeded $3.9 billion, and it has previously achieved a significant growth from about $500 million to its current scale.
3. Advantages for creators: For creators, receiving payments in PYUSD offers many conveniences, such as faster payment speed and reduced foreign exchange fees for cross-border transactions. Moreover, within the PayPal ecosystem, creators can quickly convert PYUSD to other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies and can also be used for peer-to-peer instant transfers, making it convenient for settling with international teams and partners.
