Exclusive: Paxos to allow employees to be paid in USDG
Quick Take
  • Paxos will enable USDG salary payments via Toku, adding a regulated stablecoin option to corporate payroll.
  • MiCA‑regulated USDG’s EU footprint and existing exchange distribution support expansion beyond trading into compensation use cases.
  • Compliance‑first payroll platforms (Toku, Rain) signal readiness, but treasury controls and on/off‑ramps will determine scale.

Paxos will let employees opt to receive salaries in its USD‑backed USDG via a Toku integration, enabling near‑instant wallet settlement while preserving payroll tax and reporting workflows.

Paxos has rolled out this feature for its own team, allowing employees to elect to receive a portion of their salaries in USDG via established platforms like Workday and ADP. Through Toku's advanced integration and its role in the Global Dollar Network, USDG is delivered straight to an employee's digital wallet as part of the standard pay cycle. This move not only simplifies access but also positions USDG as a practical tool in daily financial life.

Stablecoins like USDG derive their true value from how easily people can obtain and use them. Traditionally, acquiring stablecoins involved trading on cryptocurrency exchanges or manual fund transfers, which added layers of complexity and friction. Payroll integration changes the game entirely. As the world's largest financial flow surpassing $50 trillion annually payroll touches nearly every working individual globally.

By embedding USDG at the source of income, this approach ensures seamless, compliant access without unnecessary hurdles. It democratizes stablecoins, making them available to a broader audience and fostering wider adoption in a regulated manner.
