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