#StripeStablecoinAccounts

The demand for stablecoins is increasing, 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 platform customers to "send, receive, and store balances of stablecoin accounts in US dollars, similar to how a traditional fiat bank account works."

The technical side of the product shows that the new account feature will support Circle's USDC and Bridge's USDB stablecoins (USDB). Stripe acquired the Bridge platform in October 2024.

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