A court in Dubai has ruled that salary payments in cryptocurrency are legal

In a dispute over unpaid wages between an employer and a former employee, the court determined that the salary should be paid in the tokens specified in the employment contract.

The plaintiff sued his former employer for failing to pay his salary. The employment contract stated that the salary would be paid in fiat currency and partially in EcoWatt tokens. The company did not transfer the cryptocurrency portion for six months, prompting the employee to take legal action.

In 2023, the court acknowledged the inclusion of EcoWatt tokens in the contract but did not enforce the payment.

In 2024, the court ruled in favor of the employee and ordered the payment to be made in cryptocurrency without conversion to fiat.
