🇧🇷 Exciting news from Brazil! A new bill has been introduced in Congress to allow workers to receive part of their wages in bitcoin and other virtual assets!
Titled "Regulation of the payment of salaries, remunerations and labor benefits with the use of virtual assets," the bill, sponsored by Luiz Philippe de Orleans e Bragança, could enable workers to receive up to 50% of their salary in crypto, pending mutual agreement with employers. 💰
However, full payment in bitcoin is prohibited, ensuring at least 50% must be in national fiat currency. Companies will also need to provide detailed payment statements and educate workers on market volatility and transaction security.
De Orleans e Bragança believes this move will position Brazil alongside countries like Portugal, Japan, and Switzerland in the digital finance landscape, attracting investment and giving workers more freedom in how they receive their wages.
While the bill is still in its early stages, it could pave the way for innovation and protection against inflation through stablecoins.
