Spamming the screen! Your salary is evaporating, while workers around the world are rewriting their fate with $USDT
Listen, I want to tell you a story about your wallet.
You think your monthly salary is all you have? Don’t be naive. People working across borders worldwide are experiencing a silent asset heist—not unpaid wages from companies, but your local currency quietly melting away.
For example. A designer in Mumbai earns $2,000 USD each month from a U.S. client, and the moment it arrives, the bank forcibly converts it into Indian Rupees. Over the past year, the Indian Rupee has depreciated more than 10% against the dollar, meaning the actual purchasing power of the Rupees in his account has evaporated by $600. In Mumbai, that money is enough to pay rent for a fully furnished two-bedroom apartment for a month. He did nothing wrong—he’s just forced to accept an unreasonable payroll settlement logic.
There’s a hidden layer of the global payroll system: exchange rate loss. Freelancers in India, Argentina, Turkey working for U.S. companies earn in green dollars, but rent, groceries, and taxes all must be paid in their local fiat currencies. The current rules assume that income is converted into the local currency immediately upon receipt—which completely ignores real human needs. If you can keep your dollar assets and only convert a little when needed for daily expenses, the problem is solved. Stablecoins are perfectly suited for this.
Data doesn’t lie. Financial platform Wise’s statistics show that over the past 12 months, USD to Indian Rupee exchange rate has risen from 85.6 to 94.7, a depreciation of over 10%. For an Indian worker earning $2,000 a month and saving 25%, with an annual savings of $6,000, converting all to Rupees and holding it results in a loss of $600 in purchasing power over a year. That’s not even the worst—look at Argentina. Freelancers in Buenos Aires, even if paid in USD, will see their assets shrink by a quarter if they convert everything into pesos, which have depreciated 25% against the dollar over the past year. The HR platform Deel’s “Global Employment Status Report” shows that 85% of Argentine respondents prefer to be paid in USD rather than their local currency.
But the problem lies here: how can ordinary people hold USD? Opening offshore bank accounts? The barriers are ridiculously high. International remittances? An average fee of 6.5%. For a $2,000 international transfer, you pay wire fees, intermediary bank commissions, and exchange rate spreads—these costs might outweigh the savings from holding USD. Additionally, residents in India are restricted by foreign exchange controls from holding unlimited USD; Venezuela, Iran, Afghanistan outright limit citizens from holding USD to prevent capital flight.
So stablecoins have become the only escape route.
Take the example of the Altitude platform built on Squads’ smart account system: your funds are stored in stablecoins issued by compliant providers like Circle or Bridge, which are backed 1:1 by USD reserves. Your assets are under your private key control, and no institution can interfere. Need to pay rent? Withdraw only the amount in Rupees you need, while the rest remains in USD stablecoins—bypassing bank approvals, foreign exchange controls, and all middlemen.
The $USDT or $USDC you hold isn’t dead money. They can be connected to on-chain lending, short-term U.S. Treasury yield products, and more, while fiat deposits in banks continue to depreciate. You can even link a payment card for direct spending—regardless of which payment channel the merchant uses, stablecoin transfers settle in seconds. Multi-currency accounts, FX exchange engines, payment channels covering 150 countries, savings, investment, debit card functions—all integrated into a self-controlled on-chain account.
Of course, this solution isn’t perfect. Stablecoin account funds aren’t insured by banks, and losing your private key means losing everything. Regulations around digital assets and stablecoins are still blurry in many countries, making it hard for freelancers to fully understand local compliance. But the trend is unstoppable. Deel’s report indicates that by 2025, five of the top ten global payroll settlement currencies will be USD-based. It’s not new—over the past century, people worldwide have wanted to hold USD, but offshore accounts, brokers, paperwork, and high fees have always been barriers. People in Istanbul, Buenos Aires, Mumbai have long wanted USD but have been restricted.
Stablecoins have completely changed this landscape. Your income is paid directly in USD-equivalent assets, regardless of where you live, without needing any institutional permission to hold USD. This is a profound industry transformation. Governments might see it as a capital flight channel and try to restrict it, but the IMF recently advised Nigeria not to ban stablecoins, instead to manage risks—remember, the IMF has historically opposed stablecoins. This policy shift proves that stablecoins have gained mainstream financial recognition.
In the payroll sector, stablecoin infrastructure has拆分 and reconstructed the five core functions: payment currency, asset storage, investment yield, consumer payments, and cross-border circulation. The core value of money has never been about being locked in a central bank’s digital form—it’s about freedom and flexibility.
