Your Team Can Get Paid Their Way—Fiat, Stablecoins, or Both

A contractor in Latin America reached out—their paycheck was late, and money was deducted—trapped somewhere between a bank and a border. That shouldn't happen to anyone. And it's not just one contractor, it's a pattern playing out across millions of workers worldwide. Stablecoins can solve this—no intermediaries, deductions, or waiting.

Deel made stablecoin withdrawals available to contractors first, and today 10,000 contractors on our platform across 100 countries already get paid in stablecoins.

Now, that extends to full-time employees. Employers can offer their teams the option to receive a portion of their net salary in stablecoins, fee-free, on payday, with zero new admin or new compliance obligations.

The timing isn't accidental. The demand for dollar-denominated pay has been building for years, and it's no longer coming from crypto enthusiasts. It's coming from workers in volatile-currency markets watching their earnings lose value the moment they hit a local bank account. And tech-savvy employees in the US, UK, and EU want the same thing for different reasons: faster, more flexible pay than traditional banking delivers. For both, it's about getting paid on their own terms.

Stand out on compensation—let your team choose how they get paid

Salary bands matter. But so does how and when people get paid—and that's increasingly where the talent competition is won. Stablecoin salary payouts give you a tangible, differentiated benefit to offer employees—without adding a new tool, a new vendor, or a new workflow for your payroll or finance team to manage.

Employees choose to receive a portion of their net salary in a dollar or euro-backed digital currency. The rest arrives in their bank account exactly as it does today. Stablecoin payouts settle in minutes, 24/7, with no fees for employees.

You decide whether this payment option is available to your team, and you can enable or disable it at any time. Once you switch it on, employees opt in and handle setup themselves inside Deel—you pay a flat $10 per participating employee per month, and only when they actively use the feature. Conversion and on-chain settlement are handled by licensed third-party providers integrated directly into the Deel platform.

Your process, funding method, and reconciliation stay exactly the same. Due to Deel's compliance infrastructure, there are no new compliance obligations, vendors, or tools to integrate.

Run fiat and stablecoin pay on one platform

Since January 2026, employers on Deel have been able to fund global payroll directly from a stablecoin treasury—settling in minutes, with no FX conversion. Stablecoin salary payouts complete the picture on the worker side: employees choose fiat, or a split of fiat and dollar-backed digital pay. Either way, it all runs on the same platform, under the same compliance layer. You don't need a separate system for each payment type—Deel handles both.

Available now across the US and the Eurozone

Stablecoin salary payouts are live for EOR and global payroll employees in the US, and the Eurozone at launch, covering 25 countries including Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Portugal, and more, with additional markets launching later this year.

This is most relevant for HR and finance leaders who:

• Hire in markets where dollar-backed pay is increasingly expected
• Want a compensation differentiator that adds zero payroll complexity
• Are competing for talent against companies already offering more flexible pay options
