Plume Decides Cash Is Over, Launches Tokenized Payroll So Employees Finally Earn Yield on Their Paychecks

Plume, the blockchain platform for RWAs and onchain yield, has teamed up with Toku (stablecoin payroll infrastructure provider) and WisdomTree to test a payroll system that lets employees receive part of their salary in tokenized money market fund shares instead of boring old cash. Because nothing says "we're living in the future" quite like getting paid in something that actually does something other than slowly lose value to inflation while sitting in your bank account like a sad little pile of digital regret.

Here's how it works: Plume staff can choose to divert a portion of their paycheck into WTGXX shares. Plume acquires the shares through WisdomTree Connectand sends them directly to verified wallets linked to WisdomTree Prime accounts. No exchanges, no manual transfers, no hassle. Just pure, frictionless yield farming—but instead of farming yields from some sketchy DeFi protocol run by anonymous devs in a Discord server, you're farming yields from an actual money market fund. The responsible adult version of degen summer, if you will.

The best part? Those shares start generating yield from the day they hit your wallet. Your salary literally works harder than you do, and honestly, that's the dream. While you're doom-scrolling Twitter at 2 AM or arguing about whether Bitcoin is actually money in some random Telegram group, your paycheck is out there in the wild, doing the lord's work. Making moves. Getting that APY. Living its best life. Meanwhile you're just the fleshy vessel that gets to claim ownership come tax season.

Participation is optional and depends on account eligibility and wallet verification. Base salary calculations remain unchanged—this is purely an additional option
