Deel & MoonPay Bring Stablecoin, Self-Custodial Salary Payments to Global Workers

Deel has partnered with MoonPay to enable stablecoin salary payouts for workers worldwide. The integration gives Deel users the option to receive pay directly in stablecoins instead of traditional bank transfers.

MoonPay will power the conversion, delivery, and off ramp process. Salaries will be paid directly to non custodial wallets.

How the Rollout Works

The feature will launch next month for workers in the UK and EU. U.S. support will follow in a second phase.

The partnership builds on Deel’s expansion into crypto enabled payroll. It targets globally distributed teams that face slow or costly cross border payments.

Why Stablecoin Payroll Is Gaining Traction

Stablecoin payouts settle faster than traditional banking rails. They also allow workers without reliable banking access to receive pay directly.

For workers in high inflation regions, stablecoins can help preserve value. For employers, they reduce friction in global payroll operations.
“Deel is transforming global payroll for the modern workforce, and MoonPay is proud to support their mission with enterprise-grade stablecoin payouts.”

Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO & Founder at MoonPay
Deel’s crypto team highlighted worker flexibility and faster access to earnings. This partnership represents a major step forward in bringing digital assets into real-world financial use cases like salary payments.
"At Deel, we are committed to giving the global workforce ultimate flexibility in how they receive their earnings."

Thierry Edde, Head of Crypto at Deel
By integrating MoonPay’s infrastructure, Deel is expanding their suite of payment options, making it even easier for workers to access their pay instantly and securely via stablecoins.

How This Fits Into the Broader Trend

Blockster has previously covered stablecoin payroll as an early on ramp for global crypto adoption. This partnership reinforces that stablecoins are increasingly being used as payment infrastructure.

The focus is shifting from crypto access to payment reliability. Payroll is becoming one of the clearest paths to everyday stablecoin usage.

Why This Deal Matters

Stablecoin payroll only works when compliance, custody, and off-ramps are handled properly. If Deel and MoonPay execute well, this model could normalize stablecoin payments faster than most consumer-facing crypto products ever have.
