Why it matters
Creator advertising spending in the U.S. surpassed $37 billion in 2025, with 48% of brands considering creators essential to their marketing mix. Currently, the lack of standardized financial systems often leads to creators being paid through consumer apps, bypassing proper accounts payable and tax documentation. XR Pay addresses this gap by providing professional payroll support.
