Apparently, YouTube has added support for stablecoins and from now on, American YouTubers can receive their YouTube channel's income with PayPal's stablecoin (PYUSD).

It is not yet clear how to withdraw, but apparently the destination wallet must be a PayPal service wallet in order to withdraw the channel's income.

Exclusive: Find X9 Ultra could replace the LYT-828 (1/1.28", 50MP) 3x periscope with a 1/1.3" 200MP 3x unit

Find X9 Ultra currently has two engineering machines, with the difference being the periscope setup. One uses a LYT-828 3x and LYT-600 6x combination, while this one features a 1/1.3" 200MP 3x periscope and a 50MP super telephoto lens, which could go beyond 6x, as DCS mentioned the 1/1.3" 200MP periscope has very powerful in-sensor zoom
