#StripeStablecoinAccounts As of May 8, 2025, Stripe has announced the launch of Stablecoin Financial Accounts, expanding its financial services to businesses in 101 countries. This initiative allows companies to hold balances in stablecoins, receive payments via both crypto and traditional fiat rails such as ACH and SEPA, and send stablecoins globally.

Initially, the accounts will support stablecoins USDC and Bridge’s USDB, with plans to incorporate additional currencies over time. This move aims to provide a stable financial infrastructure in regions with unstable currencies, limited access to banks, or high cross-border transfer fees.

To address the challenge of spending stablecoins at businesses that only accept fiat currency, Stripe’s recently acquired stablecoin platform Bridge has partnered with Visa on a global card-issuing product. This collaboration allows FinTechs to issue Visa cards linked to stablecoin wallets, enabling spending at any of the 150 million merchants worldwide that accept Visa. When a purchase occurs, Bridge facilitates the conversion of stablecoins to fiat for the merchant.

In addition to the stablecoin accounts, Stripe has introduced an AI foundation model for payments, trained on tens of billions of transactions. This model aims to improve fraud detection and authorization rates, enhancing the overall performance of Stripe's payment suite.

These developments signify Stripe's commitment to integrating advanced technologies like AI and stablecoins to support business growth and adapt to the evolving financial landscape.
