I get paid across various countries (UK, EU, US) and it's sure easier to get paid with a stable coin than fiat. Ever dealt with a US business when you only have a UK account and they're asking for your routing number? Had a one-day $1000 contract last year to write a quick training document and it took an extra day of communicating with their accounting team to find a solution. And then it takes days to transfer across systems. My normal payment route is EU -> UK -> US which has fees and takes two days, or I can get paid with a stable coin from EU -> US in around two minutes.
