Freelancers often choose to get paid in stablecoins, giving them easier access to US dollars. Yet the biggest barrier has been the gap between how non-crypto-savvy clients pay (traditional fiat rails) and how freelancers want to be paid (dollar-denominated digital currencies they can directly access). This mismatch has limited the real-world utility of stablecoins for the global gig economy. To bridge this gap, Ruul, a global startup that lets freelancers invoice clients and receive payments in multiple currencies, has partnered with MiniPay, the Opera-owned stablecoin wallet built on the Celo blockchain. Powered by infrastructure provider Noah, the integration enables freelancers to invoice clients in dollars, euros, or other local currencies; collect payments via credit card, SEPA, or ACH; and receive funds directly in dollar-pegged stablecoins, credited instantly to their MiniPay wallet.
