#StripeStablecoinAccounts Stripe has reintroduced cryptocurrency payments, allowing American merchants 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 the 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 the stablecoin infrastructure platform Bridge for $1.1 billion, enhancing its cryptocurrency capabilities. By integrating stablecoin payments, Stripe aims to provide faster, cost-effective solutions for global commerce.
