Crypto payday? Triple the number of people now getting paid in digital currency!

Is crypto going mainstream? A new study shows a massive jump in the number of people choosing to receive their salaries in cryptocurrency, signaling a big shift in the digital asset landscape.

Forget traditional paychecks! According to a recent survey by Pantera Capital, a whopping three times more people are now opting to get paid in cryptocurrency compared to just a year ago.

The survey, which polled over 1,600 employees in the crypto industry across 77 countries, found that 9.6% are now receiving their salaries in digital currencies, up from just 3% in 2023. While the survey focused specifically on those working in the crypto space, it still points to a significant trend.

So, what currencies are people getting paid in? The survey revealed that USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT), Solana (SOL), and Ethereum are the most popular choices.

Interestingly, stablecoins like USDC and USDT are leading the way. This dominance reinforces the idea that stablecoins are becoming a driving force in the crypto economy, bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain platforms.

Pantera Capital predicts that as stablecoins become more accessible and regulations become clearer, even more companies will start using them to pay their employees. Could crypto paychecks become the new normal? It’s definitely something to watch!
