#StripeStablecoinAccounts Stripe has reintroduced cryptocurrency payments, allowing merchants in the US to accept stablecoins such as $USDC and USDP through the Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon blockchains. On the first day, users from over 70 countries took advantage of this feature, highlighting global demand for alternative payment methods. Transactions are converted to US dollars and stored in Stripe wallets, with a fee of 1.5% — lower than traditional card processing fees. This move follows Stripe's acquisition of Bridge for $1.1 billion, a stablecoin infrastructure platform that enhances its crypto capabilities. By integrating stablecoin payments, Stripe aims to offer fast, cost-effective solutions for global commerce.
