MoonPay Deepens Stablecoin Payroll Push Through Deel Partnership

New updates have been reported about MoonPay.

MoonPay has entered a strategic partnership with global payroll and HR platform Deel to power stablecoin salary payments, positioning MoonPay’s infrastructure at the core of a new crypto-enabled compensation channel for distributed workforces. Under the deal, Deel will integrate MoonPay’s conversion, wallet delivery, and off-ramp capabilities so workers can opt to receive compliant salary payouts in stablecoins directly to non-custodial wallets, initially in the U.K. and EU and later in the U.S.

For MoonPay, the partnership extends its stablecoin and payments stack into a scaled, recurring payroll use case, reinforcing its role as a bridge between traditional payment rails and blockchain-based value transfer. CEO and Founder Ivan Soto-Wright framed the collaboration as a significant step in bringing digital assets into everyday financial use, while Deel executives highlighted the move as expanding payment flexibility and instant access for workers, particularly in high-inflation or underbanked markets.

The integration is expected to drive additional transaction volume across MoonPay’s on- and off-ramp infrastructure, tapping Deel’s 40,000+ business customers and 150+ country footprint as a distribution channel for stablecoin payouts. Stablecoin salary flows promise near-instant settlement compared to conventional bank transfers and can mitigate local currency volatility, making MoonPay’s service attractive for employers seeking faster, lower-friction cross-border payroll options.

MoonPay’s extensive regulatory footprint, including a New York BitLicense, a New York Limited Purpose Trust Charter, U.S. money transmitter licenses, and MiCA authorization in the EU, underpins the compliance framework for these salary conversions and payouts. Strategically, this deal advances MoonPay’s push into enterprise-grade crypto payments, strengthens its presence in the global payroll market, and could catalyze broader adoption of stablecoins as a mainstream compensation mechanism among international employers and remote workers.
