Gusto Partners with Zerohash to Enable Stablecoin Payouts for Global Workers

The integration, which is currently in beta, allows eligible contractors to receive earnings in U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins with settlement times measured in minutes rather than days.

Roughly one-third of U.S. small businesses now outsource at least one role, according to industry data, and Gusto’s own research shows 11% employed international contractors in 2025.

Traditional cross-border payments can take three to seven days to settle, creating cash flow challenges for contractors and administrative friction for employers. By using stablecoins and real-time payment rails, Gusto can move funds globally at much faster speeds, an approach that mirrors growing interest across fintech in onchain settlement for payments and payroll.
