[Eric Trump: Stablecoins are becoming a global payroll method; the family business is exploring paying tens of thousands of employees in stablecoins]

On-site report: At the Singapore Token2049 conference, World Liberty Financial co-founder Eric Trump said that the era of paying salaries with stablecoins has arrived. He disclosed that his family business, as a “super employer,” has tens of thousands of employees across hotel assets worldwide and is “without question exploring” paying wages in stablecoins. He noted that athletes demanding to be paid in Bitcoin under their contracts has set a precedent, and that appreciation in the underlying asset often far exceeds the contract amount; for ordinary employees, check clearing takes 24–36 hours, while people want money to be “in their accounts immediately.” Eric Trump particularly emphasized the significance for high-inflation countries: in economies where currencies depreciate 60%–80%, workers can receive their wages and immediately exchange them for USD1 to achieve USD denomination. Stablecoins thereby become workers’ “gateway to the entire modern world”—faster, cheaper, and more transparent.
