Freelancing has no borders anymore. You can live in Lagos, work for a startup in London, and collaborate with a designer in Accra all from your laptop.

But one challenge keeps coming up: getting paid.

Traditional banks make international payments slow, expensive, and sometimes impossible. That’s why more freelancers are asking a new question:

“Should I just get paid in crypto?”

Why crypto feels like the fix

On paper, crypto checks all the boxes freelancers want:

Speed: No long waits or “still processing” messages.

Access: All you need is a digital wallet.

Lower fees: No middlemen slicing off commissions.

Freedom: No banking restrictions, no borders.

For freelancers in countries where local cards fail on global platforms or banks reject foreign inflows, crypto feels like freedom. You can get paid in minutes not days — and skip all the gatekeeping.

But is it reliable? Not always.

Here’s where the crypto dream starts to crack.

The first problem is volatility. Imagine finishing a $1,000 project, only to find your Bitcoin payout worth $850 by Friday. That kind of fluctuation isn’t just frustrating it’s financially risky.

Then comes regulation. Crypto laws differ by country. Some governments embrace it; others block or restrict it. That means cashing out isn’t always easy, and freelancers can get stuck with funds they can’t withdraw or use locally.

And even when the laws are clear, there’s the conversion struggle. How do you turn that USDC or ETH into local currency quickly and without losing a chunk to fees? In many regions, that process still isn’t seamless.

So while crypto is fast and borderless, it’s not always stable or practical for freelancers who just want predictable income.

The better balance: stablecoins + Myaza

Here’s where stablecoins come in the practical middle ground between crypto and fiat.

Stablecoins like USDC and USDT are pegged to the US dollar, meaning $1 stays $1. No wild price swings, no panic checks on CoinMarketCap.

With Myaza, freelancers can:

Receive USDC or USDT from anywhere instantly.

Instantly converted to USD

Spend globally with the Myaza Virtual Dollar Card.

That means you can get paid in crypto’s speed and still keep your money stable, spendable, and safe.

The takeaway

Crypto opened the door to borderless payments. But reliability and stability are what make freelancers stay.

At Myaza, we bridge that gap. We give you the freedom of digital payments with the trust of real value, so your global earnings don’t lose worth before they land.

Work anywhere. Earn in USDC. Spend globally. That’s the Myaza way.
