The onchain credit protocol announced a partnership with PayPal. The goal is to integrate PayPal USD or PYUSD as a settlement asset for AI infrastructure financing.
The goal is to make it easier for builders and companies to fund the hardware and services that power modern AI. The idea is to use stable digital dollars instead of complex banking setups.
Why PYUSD Matters for AI Financing
USDAI and PayPal are launching a customer incentive program. It offers a 4.5% return on up to 1 billion dollars in deposits. The program is expected to begin in January 2026 and will apply to all USDai deposits up to that cap. The incentive is designed to attract liquidity and help scale the use of stablecoins. This is across AI driven payments, financing, and automated commerce.

With this integration, USDAI can issue loans directly in PYUSD and settle them into PayPal accounts. That means a startup building an AI model can borrow funds onchain and pay real world expenses. This is without jumping between systems. GPUs, data center space, rentals. Also, without software subscriptions can all be paid using a single dollar based rail.
Also, USDAI is continuing its work with m0 as institutional stablecoin rails move deeper into onchain credit markets. Together, these efforts position GPUs as institutional grade collateral. also, to place PYUSD and USDai at the center of global AI infrastructure finance.
