#StripeStablecoinAccounts

The demand for stablecoins is growing, and the market capitalization exceeded 231 billion dollars in May 2025.

Stripe, a global payment platform, has introduced stablecoin-based accounts for customers in over 100 countries.

According to the announcement on May 7, the new feature will allow customers of the platform to "send, receive, and store stablecoin balances in US dollars, similar to how a traditional fiat bank account works."

The technical specifications of the product show that the new account feature will support USDC from Circle and Bridge USDB (USDB) stablecoins. Stripe acquired the Bridge platform in October 2024.

Stripe's new product has emerged at a time when stablecoins are increasingly seen as a means of storing value in developing economies struggling with high inflation, capital controls, and a lack of financial infrastructure.
