The new payment capability is designed to provide Galaxy clients and their global workforces with greater flexibility in managing cross-border payments, particularly where traditional international payment methods may involve longer settlement times, multiple intermediaries or additional transaction costs.Expanding Payment Options for the Modern Global Workforce
Under the new capability, eligible Galaxy clients will be able to use supported stablecoins as an additional payment method for approved business and workforce-related transactions. Subject to applicable laws, compliance requirements and local availability, eligible employees and contractors may also elect to receive approved payments through supported stablecoin payment channels.
Stablecoin payments will operate as an additional payment option alongside Galaxy’s existing traditional banking and payroll payment infrastructure. Clients and workers will not be required to use stablecoins.
The initiative forms part of Galaxy’s broader strategy to modernize cross-border workforce infrastructure while maintaining the compliance and operational controls required for payroll, EOR and international employment services.
Compliance Remains Central
Galaxy will implement stablecoin payment support within an appropriate compliance and risk-management framework. Availability will be subject to applicable laws and regulations, jurisdictional restrictions, identity and compliance verification, and Galaxy’s internal policies and procedures.
Where Galaxy acts as Employer of Record, statutory payroll calculations, tax withholding, social insurance contributions, mandatory benefits and employment reporting will continue to be administered in accordance with applicable local requirements.
Stablecoin payment support does not change the underlying employment relationship, payroll calculation methodology or statutory obligations applicable to Galaxy’s EOR and payroll services.
Supporting Businesses, Employees and Contractors
The stablecoin payment capability is intended to support three key groups:
Businesses — providing eligible clients with an additional channel to fund approved cross-border payroll and workforce-related payments.
Employees — enabling eligible employees, where legally and operationally permitted, to access approved stablecoin payment options while maintaining the required payroll, tax and statutory employment records.
Contractors — supporting eligible contractor payments through approved stablecoin channels, subject to appropriate contractual and compliance requirements.
