$USDC Stripe has officially embraced stablecoins—starting with USDC on Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon—for transactions, payouts, and user balances. This move isn’t just a technical update; it signals a broader shift in how traditional fintech and blockchain are converging.

For platforms and marketplaces, this means faster global payouts, lower transaction fees, and access to users in underbanked regions. For developers, it’s a green light to build with Web3 rails inside Stripe’s trusted infrastructure.

The future of payments is programmable, interoperable, and borderless—and Stripe just made it a lot more accessible.
