Deel is adding stablecoin salary payouts for full-time employees, pushing one of crypto’s clearest payment use cases deeper into global payroll.
The global people platform said eligible workers can now direct part of their net salary into dollar- or euro-backed stablecoins, while the rest continues to land in a traditional bank account. Employers still fund payroll in fiat, keeping the company-side workflow close to the system they already use.
The option is available for selected EOR and Direct Employee Payroll workers with USD or EUR contracts in supported countries. Deel’s support page lists USDC (CRYPTO: $USDC), EURC and USDT (CRYPTO: $USDT) as supported assets, though USDT availability is limited and not available for employees in EU countries. Employees can choose a stablecoin allocation between 10% and 25% of their net salary after taxes and deductions.

Solana is part of the network mix behind the feature, placing the launch in the broader race to turn stablecoins into everyday settlement rails rather than just trading instruments. Deel says the payment method has no provider, transaction or gas fees for employees, and payroll continues to calculate taxes and deductions before any stablecoin payment is processed.
Deel’s crypto head Thierry Edde framed the product as an extension of demand already showing up among contractors. More than 10,000 contractors are already paid in stablecoins through Deel, he said, adding that cross-border payments remain broken for many workers. “Stablecoins fix this,” Edde wrote.
The structure keeps the crypto layer narrow but practical. Workers must add their own wallet, complete any required verification and save the allocation before payroll cutoff. If they do nothing, the salary continues through the existing payout method.
For Solana, the Deel integration adds another business-facing payment workflow at a time when stablecoins are becoming a larger part of the network’s commercial story.
The Solana (CRYPTO: $SOL) cryptocurrency is currently trading at $86.93 U.S. per digital token.
