YY Group to integrate stablecoin payments into gig worker platform.

• YY Group Holding integrates stablecoin payments into gig worker platform • Enables instant, low-cost transactions between gig workers and clients • Taps into growing global stablecoin market • Creates new revenue opportunities for fintech services • Combines speed, efficiency, and global reach of stablecoin payment rails • Enhances YY Group's gig workforce ecosystem • Positions the company to capitalize on the rapidly growing stablecoin market.

Singapore-based YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) has announced a significant move to integrate regulated stablecoin payments into its YY gig worker platform. This initiative aims to enable instant, low-cost transactions between gig workers and clients, positioning the company to tap into the rapidly growing global stablecoin market and create new revenue opportunities for fintech services [1].

The integration will combine the speed, cost efficiency, and global reach of stablecoin payment rails with the scale and trust of YY Group’s established gig workforce ecosystem. Already embraced by global payment providers for merchant and contractor payouts, stablecoin technology will be tailored to YY’s user base to unlock commercial benefits and long-term growth potential [1].

Mike Fu, Group Chief Executive Officer of YY Group, stated, “The mainstream adoption of stablecoins by global payment leaders gives us the confidence to bring this technology to our own gig worker ecosystem. For workers, it means faster access to earnings; for clients, it means seamless, lower-cost cross-border payments; and for YY Group, it creates scalable opportunities for fintech-led growth, all built on a foundation of regulated stablecoin infrastructure, compliance, and market trust” [1].

Regulated stablecoins, digital tokens pegged 1:1 to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, have evolved into trusted, high-volume payment rails. According to Visa On-Chain Analytics, in 2024, annualized stablecoin transaction volumes surpassed US$27 trillion, with B2B payments exceeding US$36 billion [1]. With over 659 million people globally holding digital currencies and higher average transaction values than traditional payment users, the market offers significant growth potential. Recent regulatory clarity, including the U.S. GENIUS Act, EU’s MiCA framework, and Monetary Authority Singapore’s stablecoin regime, has opened the door for responsible enterprise adoption at scale [1].

The integration will see YY Group partnering with licensed providers to integrate stablecoin capabilities directly into its platform. Gig workers can receive earnings in local currency or leading fiat-backed stablecoins like USDT or USDC, with instant or next-day settlement. Clients can pay in fiat or stablecoins, benefiting from built-in conversion without handling digital assets themselves. All transactions will follow robust compliance protocols, including full KYC/KYB checks, sanctions screening, and blockchain-based monitoring [1].

This integration will strengthen the YY gig worker platform’s role as a trusted, technology-enabled hub for the gig economy. Workers gain faster access to earnings, lower transaction costs, and greater payout flexibility through stablecoin settlement options. Clients benefit from streamlined cross-border payments and reduced risk. For YY Group, integrating stablecoin infrastructure lays the foundation for future high-margin services, including FX conversion revenue sharing, instant withdrawal fees, and embedded lending [1].

Looking ahead, YY Group views stablecoin payment integration as a long-term enabler for its gig worker platform, creating new pathways for cross-border engagement and financial inclusion. As adoption accelerates, the Company plans to expand these capabilities in line with market demand, deepening its fintech ecosystem and building new strategic partnerships to accelerate growth [1].
