What it means for a Dubai court to order a company to pay its employee in cryptocurrency

The plaintiff alleged that the company stopped paying his salary without reason for five months before terminating the contract. The court ordered the employer to pay 62,867 dirhams ($17,116) and 39,200 of the ecowatt cryptocurrency (EWT) as unpaid taxes. The value of the token on different price tracking websites varies widely, making it difficult to estimate the payout in dollars.
