Toku-PDAX Partnership Enables Stablecoin Payrolls in PH
The partnership between Toku and PDAX allows Filipino workers to receive payroll in stablecoins, providing streamlined on/off-ramps to local fiat currencies. This initiative is aimed at expanding stablecoin usage for Web3 companies. Involved entities include Toku, a specialist in token compensation, and PDAX, a regulated crypto exchange. They enable compliant stablecoin payroll flows, offering cash-outs to any Philippine bank or e-wallet.
Ken O’Friel, CEO, Toku, said, "Crypto companies already hold stablecoins on their balance sheets. Now they can use those same assets to pay contributors in the Philippines."
Potential Boost for PH Remittance and Employment Markets
The collaboration could elevate stablecoins' role in the Philippine employment and remittance markets. The ability to convert stablecoins to PHP instantly boosts local economy access, potentially increasing liquidity and stablecoin velocity. Historically, similar partnerships have enhanced cross-border payment efficiency. This is potentially beneficial for Filipino professionals with faster financial access. The deal's impact on local stablecoin liquidity may promote broader adoption.
USDC’s Significant Role in PH’s Crypto Evolution
Previous integrations of stablecoins in the Philippines, like those with Codex, have resulted in lower costs and faster payments. These initiatives have expanded stablecoin use, with USDC playing a significant role. Experts predict stablecoins might further solidify their position as a core treasury asset for global crypto firms, aligning with emerging regulatory frameworks. This could enhance the country's financial landscape and crypto adoption.
