Stablecoin payroll services may shift conversion costs to employees

While companies like Galaxy Payroll Group and Deel are expanding stablecoin payroll services, employees may face additional costs and responsibilities when converting these assets into local fiat currency for daily expenses. Employers remain legally obligated to comply with wage, tax, and reporting regulations regardless of the payment method used. The actual impact on workers depends on whether the company handles the fiat conversion internally or transfers the stablecoin directly to the employee.
