Get Paid In Crypto: Crypto Exchanges Starting to Allow Direct Deposits
Even more crypto exchanges are starting to offer direct deposit features—further strides towards mainstream adoption of digital assets.
Published on:
It’s no secret the cryptocurrency industry has made incredible strides toward mainstream adoption. One such stride is enabling the direct deposit of employee payroll in cryptocurrency.
Companies like Bitwage and Deel offer payroll solutions for individuals and businesses looking to pay or get paid in crypto, and we’re seeing exchanges start to offer direct deposit features as well.
Most recently, Coinbase announced its users will be able to deposit any percentage of their paycheck directly into their Coinbase account.
This percentage can be held in USD or transferred into any digital asset available on the exchange. Your employer will still report your employment income on Form W-2.
To be sure, there are unique tax implications for direct deposits converted to other assets—tracking income based on the fair market value on receipt, as well as tracking cost basis based on that value for subsequent dispositions.
