‍Creators Are Still Chained to Web2 Finance

Most creators earn money through platforms like YouTube, Patreon, or Stripe-powered coaching platforms. While these platforms provide distribution and monetization, they also take a significant cut and often impose frustrating delays:

Payment delays of 7-30 days

High fees, including currency conversion costs

Blocked access to global customers due to regional limitations

Censorship risk or sudden account freezes

For creators trying to grow global audiences and monetize across borders, this isn’t just annoying, it’s limiting.

Stablecoins for the Creator Economy

Crypto doesn’t just mean Bitcoin. For creators, the real game-changer is stablecoins - crypto tokens pegged to the value of fiat currencies like the US dollar (e.g., USDC, USDT).

Here’s how stablecoins benefit modern creators:

1. Fast, Global Payments

Stablecoin transactions settle in seconds to minutes, 24/7, even on weekends. No bank delays. No middlemen. You can earn money from a fan in Tokyo and get paid instantly.

Example: A coach in Argentina working with US clients via Promeet gets paid in USDC within minutes - no 5-day bank transfer, no 30% FX haircut.

2. Lower Fees = More Earnings

Banks, Stripe, and PayPal take up to 3-8% of transactions. Promeet uses crypto rails to reduce fees to near-zero or a small flat rate. That’s real money in your pocket.

On a $500 transaction:

Traditional platforms: $30+ in fees

Promeet: ~$0.01 network fee in USDC

3. Financial Inclusion

Creators in Nigeria, India, Lebanon, or Venezuela often face banking restrictions or inflation. Stablecoins offer access to global markets and a stable currency, even in uncertain environments.

According to Chainalysis, global adoption of stablecoins has grown 600% since 2020, driven by creators, freelancers, and entrepreneurs in emerging markets.

4. Autonomy and Control

Crypto puts creators in control of their earnings. No platform holds your money. No risk of arbitrary bans. You get paid directly into your wallet.
