Stablecoins touted for gig economy
November 17, 2025
|Bangkok Post
Visa Inc is testing the ability for businesses to send stablecoins directly to consumers’ cryptocurrency wallets for global payouts, targeting growing demand for the fiat-backed digital tokens among gig workers and digital creators in emerging markets.
The payments giant is piloting the feature as part of Visa Direct, a real-time payments service that enables clients to send money to 195 countries. The pilot will use USDC, the US dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Circle Internet Group.
Digital platform operators use payout services to pay creators or gig workers. TikTok, for example, pays influencers based on video views through its creator rewards programme. Platforms such as Uber and DoorDash, meanwhile, need to disburse earnings to their armies of gig workers around the world. Vendor payments are another possible use case for Visa Direct.
