Our mission has always been to empower creators no matter where they live around the world. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a major step toward that goal: artists can now withdraw their earnings via the cryptocurrency stablecoin USDT (Tether).
Why This Matters
For many artists, traditional payouts (PayPal, bank transfers, etc.) come with friction, delays, high fees, foreign exchange costs, and limited access in some regions. Stablecoins (cryptocurrencies tied to stable assets like USD) solve many of these pain points:
- Faster access. Blockchain-based transfers can clear in minutes rather than days.
- Lower fees. Especially for international transfers, stablecoin withdrawals can cost significantly less than traditional transfers.
- Crypto-native flexibility. You can hold, swap, or move your funds across DeFi or crypto tools.
- Global inclusivity. Artists in countries with limited banking access can now benefit from a reliable alternative.
We’re committed to making the process smooth, secure, and transparent. As always, your privacy is protected - Arty never exposes your wallet, account or banking details to clients.
What This Means for You
- More control over your earnings. You’re not tied to traditional banking rails.
- Better cross-border flow. No more hefty FX costs or intermediaries slicing into your profits.
- Future-ready income. As crypto adoption grows, stablecoins become a mainstream way to transact.
A Word of Caution (and Best Practices)
- Wallet safety matters. Make sure you use a secure wallet and double-check addresses before submitting a withdrawal.
- Be mindful of on-ramps/offs. While stablecoins provide flexibility, converting them into fiat (when needed) might incur fees depending on your local exchanges.
- Start small. Try a small withdrawal first to confirm everything works as expected.
