Is a significant portion of Kraken's workforce getting paid in cryptocurrency, and is there a wider trend in other companies?

David Ripley

CEO at Kraken

For Kraken, specifically, it's definitely growing. We have 3,000 Krakenites and a significant percentage get paid, at least in part, in crypto. That's certainly grown over time and continues to grow even as we add new people to the company.

There’s less visibility into other companies, but I do know that there are many in the crypto space that offer this as well. Many individuals outside of crypto, the freelancers and global remote individuals that are working for a company in a different country, also prefer this since it helps solve some of the cross-border payments.
