Can crypto payments accentuate the trend for a globally distributed workforce?
More and more people in emerging markets such as freelancers are using crypto to get paid, and having crypto as a payment option enables people to get employed anywhere in the world.
So if you as an employer want to have the best talent globally, using crypto as a means of payment seem to work hand in hand.
One company that has garnered substantial growth over the past months is Rise, which offers a platform to pay employees and contractors globally with crypto and has processed more than $150million in volume of payments to date.
Some of their clients include t3rn, Bitcoin.com, Velodrome Finance, LIDO, P2P, Zen Academy to name a few.
