On May 8, 2025, payment giant Stripe announced the launch of stablecoin financial account services, supporting USDC and its own Bridge-issued USDB stablecoin, covering over 100 countries worldwide, allowing businesses to hold and transfer USD stablecoin funds, and facilitating cross-border payments. After acquiring Bridge for $1.1 billion last year, this move further deepens its footprint in the cryptocurrency space. The service not only supports stablecoins but also allows conversions between fiat and cryptocurrencies, aimed at enhancing the efficiency and flexibility of global business payments. However, major markets such as China, the United States, and Japan are currently not included in the support list, indicating that its global expansion still faces regulatory challenges. This move by Stripe is seen as a significant advancement for stablecoin applications!
