Builders Stage Presentations

Global Talent Acquisition: Leveraging Stablecoins, Startups, and Competitive Compensation

10:40 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
Presented by: Pebl

A significant hurdle for growing startups is not locating skilled personnel, but rather compensating them effectively on a global scale. Traditional payroll and banking infrastructure struggles to accommodate a workforce that is distributed and operates in a digital environment.

Increasing visa expenses and evolving U.S. regulations are driving a shift towards global recruitment. Fintech advancements are now transforming payroll through the use of digital wallets, stablecoins, and cryptocurrency networks, resulting in quicker, more affordable, and cross-border payments. This presentation will explore how payroll is becoming a key area of financial infrastructure development.

• Compliance and innovation are converging.
• Startups are gaining a competitive advantage through global teams.
