Paxos and Toku Integrate to Enable Yield on Stablecoin Payrolls

Paxos Labs has partnered with Toku to integrate its Amplify platform, allowing workers to earn yield on stablecoin salaries without transferring assets or relinquishing custody. The new feature applies to balances held in Toku wallets, enabling users to opt into yield-bearing accounts for USDC, USDT, and USDG with no lockup periods or withdrawal delays. The update addresses a primary inefficiency in stablecoin payrolls, where funds typically remain idle between pay cycles. By embedding yield directly into the balance, employees can maximize their earnings without utilizing external platforms. Toku's payroll infrastructure currently processes more than $1 billion annually for workers in over 100 countries and integrates with established systems including ADP, Workday, Gusto, and UKG. This integration occurs amid a broader trend of stablecoin adoption for income. A survey commissioned by BVNK and conducted by YouGov found that 39% of crypto users across 15 countries receive income in stablecoins, citing faster cross-border transfers and lower fees. Those paid in stablecoins reported approximately 40% savings on cross-border transfers compared to traditional remittance methods. The broader stablecoin ecosystem continues to expand, with the total market capitalization rising from $259 billion in July 2025 to roughly $320 billion. Other industry players are following suit; global payroll platform Deel recently announced a partnership with MoonPay to roll out stablecoin salary payments for workers in the UK and European Union.
