At this point i see no more obstacle for the artist or streaming companies to be paid in crypto. The volatility problem can by pass by use stable coin. So we have meta who announces they will give all of their creators an option to be paid in stable coin(USDC).
So it's pointing out the fact that we're just one step closer to see the more major streaming or social media companies to pay their creators use crypto. It only requires an agreement between companies and stable coin issuer. So when it's done, stable coin integration is just getting even more massive.
The only obstacle would be the regulators. I mean, they're not going to be happy with artists getting paid in crypto without KYC. Even with compliance, they will still complain because crypto often cuts the middleman. No middlemen means a challenging environment to collect taxes and enforce the rule of law. Crypto is decentralized, after all.
Besides, most artists would be skeptical of accepting crypto payments out of volatility alone. They would prefer something stable (in terms of price/value) and easy to use. I'd expect stablecoins to remain the ideal payment method in the music industry forever.
