Twenty percent of surveyed employees believe that digital assets will become a fundamental part of their paychecks in the next five years, the study showed. Bitcoin emerged as the leading cryptocurrency of choice for employees, with an impressive 72% expressing a preference for receiving their wages or bonuses in it.

A recent study by Greenhouse, a hiring software company, has revealed that a significant portion of younger workers, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, are interested in receiving part of their salary in cryptocurrency. The survey, which included over 2,000 U.S. workers, found that 37% of Gen Z and 34% of Millennials would consider a job that offers crypto as part of their compensation package. This interest stems from a desire to invest in digital assets, with many believing that crypto could offer better long-term value than traditional currency. However, the study also highlighted a generational divide, as only 15% of Gen X and 6% of Baby Boomers showed similar interest. Despite the enthusiasm, there are concerns about the volatility and regulatory uncertainties surrounding cryptocurrencies, which might deter broader adoption in payroll systems.
