According to a Pantera survey, stablecoins dominated the crypto salary landscape in 2024, accounting for 90% of all salaries paid in cryptocurrency. The survey revealed a significant increase in employees opting to receive their salaries in crypto—from 3% in 2023 to 9.6% by the end of 2024. Notably, USDC and USDT emerged as the primary choices, making up 63% and 28.6% of crypto salaries respectively. Despite the lack of legislative clarity around stablecoin policies at the time, workers increasingly favored these stablecoins for their perceived stability and liquidity. The survey collected insights from 1,600 participants across various sectors within the crypto industry, including DeFi and gaming, with a significant portion holding senior positions. Pantera’s goal with the survey was to enhance transparency in crypto compensation, a field still lacking comprehensive data. Looking ahead, the trend toward stablecoins is expected to grow even more as the industry evolves.
