PayPal’s PYUSD Stablecoin Fuels AI Infrastructure Expansion Through Strategic Partnership
PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin is now being Leveraged to finance critical AI infrastructure, including GPU clusters and data centers. The collaboration with USD.AI introduces blockchain efficiency to traditional funding mechanisms, offering borrowers direct access to capital through PayPal accounts.
The integration creates a hybrid financial pipeline combining programmable settlements with conventional payment rails. PayPal sweetens the deal with a 4.5% yield incentive program for PYUSD deposits, targeting significant AI infrastructure investment by 2026.
This MOVE comes as global AI infrastructure spending is projected to surpass $700 billion by 2029. The PYUSD-USD.AI partnership demonstrates how stablecoins are evolving beyond payments to become institutional-grade financing tools for next-generation technologies.
