Stripe does not currently offer a stablecoin account directly, but it supports crypto-related payments, including stablecoins, through integrations and partner platforms.
Here’s what Stripe does with stablecoins (as of 2024):
1. USDC (USD Coin) Payments
Stripe supports USDC, a popular stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, on the Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon blockchains. Businesses using Stripe can:
Accept USDC payments online.
Convert them into fiat if desired.
Get payouts in USDC via Stripe’s Connect platform.
2. Stripe Connect for Web3 Platforms
If you’re building a Web3 app or platform (like a crypto marketplace or NFT service), Stripe Connect allows:
Onboarding users.
Handling KYC.
Paying out in stablecoins like USDC.
3. No Traditional "Stablecoin Account"
Stripe doesn’t offer a crypto wallet or a “stablecoin account” in the traditional sense, like a crypto exchange would. Instead, it’s a payments infrastructure provider that lets platforms use stablecoins within their ecosystem.
4. Developer Access
If you're a developer or company, you can use Stripe APIs to:
Accept stablecoin payments.
Disburse funds in USDC.
Handle cross-border transactions more efficiently.
