Visa Launches Stablecoin Payouts for Gig Workers

For freelancers and gig workers waiting on payments, Visa is testing a faster solution: stablecoin payouts.

A new pilot allows platforms and businesses to send payments directly to a worker’s crypto wallet, funded from a standard business bank account.

Announced this week, the service means workers can opt to receive funds in stablecoins like USDC for near-instant access.

The move addresses high demand, as a Visa study found 57% of gig workers prefer digital payments for speed. While initially a pilot for select partners, it signals a major step toward faster, more flexible pay for the digital workforce.
