#StripeStablecoinAccounts

Stripe has once again introduced cryptocurrency payments, allowing merchants in the U.S. to accept stablecoins like 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 U.S. 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, which enhances its crypto capabilities. By integrating stablecoin payments, Stripe aims to offer faster and more cost-effective solutions for global trade.
