$226B in stablecoin volume moved between businesses last year.

That's up 733% year-over-year.

And it's still only 0.01% of the $1.6 quadrillion global B2B payments market.

The gap between those two numbers is the entire opportunity.

54% of organizations not yet using stablecoins plan to deploy within 6 to 12 months.

Our new report breaks down the nine shifts redefining how companies pay, settle, and manage liquidity in 2026:

1) AI agents as autonomous B2B payment actors

2) Programmable treasury replacing static cash reserves

3) Cross-border settlement replacing SWIFT

4) Stablecoin payroll at structural scale

5) GENIUS Act compliance as a competitive moat

Each trend comes with the data behind it, named company examples from the past six months, and actions your finance team can run this quarter.

The companies winning in 2026 won't be the ones with the fastest rails.

They'll be the ones with the cleanest operational layer around those rails.

In case you missed the update, Rise now supports TRON as a new integration for crypto payroll.

This integration expands how companies fund payroll and how team members receive and withdraw their earnings, with a focus on stablecoin settlement, cost efficiency, and scalable on-chain operations.

This means faster execution of mass payouts, reduced transaction costs, and greater reliability when paying distributed teams.

We're excited to announce that Rise has secured Money Transmitter Licenses in Louisiana and New Mexico, expanding our ability to support compliant payments across the United States.

As we continue building modern payroll, HR, and compliance infrastructure, every new license strengthens our commitment to helping businesses pay and manage teams with confidence.

Thank you to our regulatory, legal, and operations teams who helped make this possible.

Onward.

[Rise @rise_pay]

We're proud to announce new accounting integrations on Rise.

Payroll data should flow directly into your accounting system, not through spreadsheets, CSV exports, and manual reconciliation.

You can now connect Rise with:

• Rillet
• Campfire
• Intuit QuickBooks
• Xero

Every payroll run automatically syncs into your accounting workflows while Rise handles onboarding, tax documentation, compliance, payment execution, contractor management, EOR, AOR, and global payouts.

The result:

✅ Automated payroll sync
✅ Faster month-end close
✅ Simplified global expense tracking
✅ Audit-ready financial records
✅ One platform for payroll, compliance, and accounting

Your accounting software is the ledger.
Rise is the system that powers global payroll.

With Rise Earn your payroll funds can finally earn yield, automatically, inside the platform you already use.

Here's the problem it solves:

Most payroll funds sit idle between pay runs.

Companies hold them. Workers wait on them. Nobody earns anything.

Rise Earn changes that.

It lets companies, contractors, and employees earn yield on USDC held inside Rise.

No self-custody. No bridging. No DeFi knowledge required.

How it works:
– Keep your funds in Rise
– Allocate to Earn with one click
– Yield accrues automatically, powered by Aave Labs
– Track it in real time
– Withdraw anytime in local currency or stablecoins

The pricing is just as simple.
No fees to deposit or hold funds.

For finance teams, that means better capital efficiency, with no treasury complexity and no added compliance burden.

For workers, it means more control over your money, without the friction of managing DeFi yourself.

Stablecoins are becoming core infrastructure for global pay.

Idle funds are starting to look like a missed opportunity.

Rise V2 is officially live.

Over the past several months, our team has been rebuilding the Rise platform from the ground up to create a faster, more flexible experience for companies managing global teams.

Today, we're excited to launch Rise V2.

This release introduces some of our most requested features, including Employer of Record (EOR), Direct Payroll, Daily Payroll, Rise Earn, fiat-to-fiat swaps, and expanded USDT withdrawal options across additional blockchain networks.

We've also delivered major improvements across performance, security, reporting, payroll workflows, and overall user experience.

Whether you're paying contractors, hiring full-time employees, managing payroll across multiple countries, or moving funds globally, Rise V2 gives you more flexibility and control than ever before.

This is our biggest platform upgrade to date, and we're just getting started.

Introducing Daily Pay in Rise V2.

Employees can now get paid at the end of each workday instead of waiting until the end of the pay cycle.

Unlike earned wage access products, Daily Pay isn't an advance, a loan, or something employees need to request.

There are no fees.
No interest.
No repayment.

It simply changes when employees receive the wages they've already earned.

For employers, nothing changes about payroll funding, payroll calculations, or compensation.

You fund payroll the same way you always have. Daily Pay only changes when employees see the money arrive.

With Daily Pay enabled, employees automatically receive a portion of their net pay after each worked day, with the remainder reconciled at the end of the pay cycle.

As part of Rise V2, we're continuing to build a payroll experience that gives employers more flexibility while helping employees access their earnings faster.

Daily Pay is now available for payroll teams on Rise V2.

[Rise @rise_pay]

USDT withdrawals on @solana are now live on Rise.

Payees can now withdraw earnings in USDT on Solana, giving global teams another fast, low-cost way to access their funds.

Why it matters:
• Faster settlement times
• Lower transaction costs
• More flexibility for contractors and employees worldwide
• Access to one of the most widely used stablecoins on one of the most efficient blockchain networks

At Rise, we're building payroll infrastructure around choice.

Whether your company funds payroll in fiat, USDC, USDT, or other supported assets, your team should be able to withdraw how they want, where they want, and when they want.

With support for 100+ cryptocurrencies, 90+ local currencies, and payouts across 190+ countries, Rise continues to expand the ways global teams get paid.

More withdrawal options. More flexibility. Less friction.

[Rise @rise_pay]

Hiring globally just got a whole lot easier.

Rise Employer of Record is now available, making it possible to hire full-time employees internationally without opening local entities.

From compliant employment and payroll to taxes, benefits, and ongoing HR administration, Rise handles the complexity so you can scale your team with confidence.

One platform. Global hiring made simple.

We're proud to share another recent 5 star review from a happy contractor who receives payouts through Rise

Fast onboarding. Seamless integrations. Instant payments.

That's exactly the experience we're committed to delivering, removing friction so businesses can focus on what matters most.

A big thank you to our customer for taking the time to share their experience. Your feedback motivates us to keep improving every day.

If you're looking for a payment solution that prioritizes speed, security, and simplicity, we'd love to show you what's possible.

$315B+ total stablecoin supply in 2026.

39% of crypto users worldwide already get paid in stablecoins.

Most of their employers aren't crypto companies.

The infrastructure just got good enough to make it the sensible option.

85 of 117 jurisdictions are now aligned with expanded FATF Travel Rule frameworks for crypto payments.

That's not a niche use case anymore. That's a compliance-ready payment rail.

Our new report breaks down the 5 signals behind this shift:

– Stablecoin infrastructure hitting enterprise scale
– The employer case resolving on cost and speed
– Workers actively asking to be paid this way
– Hybrid payroll becoming the default architecture
– Yield moving directly into the payroll layer

CFOs cutting wire costs. Payroll teams juggling multiple countries. Web3 companies bracing for new Travel Rule and KYC obligations.

This report is built for all of them.

Employees are waiting weeks for pay while dealing with rent, groceries, and emergencies.

That gap creates real financial stress.
Daily payroll closes it.

Instead of a fixed biweekly cycle, employees get access to earned wages every day.

Here's what that unlocks for teams:
• Less reliance on payday loans and credit cards
• Better budgeting and cash flow control
• Higher retention and lower absenteeism
• A real edge in attracting Gen Z and millennial talent

Most providers charge extra for this.

ADP and Rippling both treat daily pay as a paid add-on, and neither supports stablecoins.

Rise includes daily payroll inside its EOR service at no additional cost.

Employees can get paid in local currency, USDT, or USDC, whichever fits their team best.

No new entity required either.

Rise's EOR lets you hire full-time employees in countries where you don't have a legal presence, with compliance and tax handling built in.

Daily pay isn't a perk anymore.

It's becoming the standard for companies that want to compete for global talent.

Manual payroll reconciliation eats hours every month-end.

Finance teams export CSVs, re-enter data, and chase mismatches across currencies and payment types.

Rise turns Intuit QuickBooks into a live accounting system for global payroll, not a manual process.

Here's how it works:

• Every payroll run syncs to QuickBooks automatically, no CSV exports or manual uploads

• Payroll expenses across countries, currencies, and payment types are tracked in one place

• Reconciliation time drops with clean, structured data flowing into your books

• Records stay audit-ready for tax season and reporting

QuickBooks organizes your financial data.

Rise powers the payroll execution behind it, funding payments in fiat, USDC, or USDT across 190+ countries.

Roughly one in four businesses replaces its payroll provider every year, and service quality, integration gaps, and cost are the leading drivers, not calendar timing.

Teams that wait for a "clean" January start often end up running an entire additional year on a system that is already failing them.

That delay compounds the same errors the switch was meant to fix.

This is why we created this guide below for professionals in that exact position.

Take a look and see how to navigate this change smoothly: https://t.co/n0UVIFeUPy

The payments industry is at an inflection point.

Stablecoin volumes are growing, digital payment rails are maturing, and the infrastructure powering global money movement is evolving faster than ever.

The organizations building on the right foundations today will help define how payments work for the next decade.

Rise is joining the Avalanche Payments Collective as a Founding Member.

Every day, companies use Rise to pay contractors and employees across 190+ countries in both local currencies and digital assets.

As demand for stablecoin-powered payroll and cross-border payments continues to accelerate, we're committed to helping build the infrastructure that makes global payments faster, more efficient, and more accessible.

We're building alongside leading payments, fintech, and stablecoin organizations on Avalanche, infrastructure designed for the speed, scale, and reliability that real-world payments demand.

This is just the start.

Dark mode is here.

Rise V2 introduces a completely redesigned experience built for global teams managing payroll, contractors, compliance, and crypto operations.

Cleaner navigation. Better visibility. Less clutter. Faster workflows.

Because the software you spend hours in every week should be as intuitive as the work you're trying to get done.

Coming June 22.

[Rise @rise_pay]

Most workers wait two weeks to access money they've already earned.

That gap pushes people toward payday loans, credit card debt, and financial stress.

Daily pay closes it.

Rise builds daily payroll directly into its Employer of Record service, with zero added fees.

Here's how it works:

Onboard your employee through Rise
Fund payroll in USD or stablecoins (USDT/USDC)
Set a custom schedule, including daily pay
Employees withdraw in fiat or crypto, wherever they are

Other providers treat daily pay as a premium add-on, often with extra charges and no crypto support.

Rise bundles compliance, global hiring, and daily payroll into one flat monthly rate.

That means predictable budgeting for finance teams and faster access to wages for employees.

It also lets you hire full-time talent in countries where you don't have a local entity, while Rise handles contracts, classification, and local tax law.

For Gen Z and millennial workers who expect financial flexibility, daily pay is becoming a real differentiator in competitive hiring markets.
