#StripeStablecoinAccounts As of now, Stripe does not offer stablecoin accounts directly in the traditional sense like a wallet or custodial account for users. However, Stripe has started integrating support for crypto-related services, including:
1. Stablecoin Payouts
Stripe announced in 2023 that it allows USDC (USD Coin) payouts on platforms like Solana and Ethereum. This is mainly for platforms (like marketplaces or gig economy apps) that want to pay users in crypto.
2. Use Case for Platforms
If you're a platform owner, you can:
Use Stripe Connect to onboard users.
Enable USDC payouts to those users, assuming they have compatible crypto wallets.
3. No Direct Crypto Wallet
Stripe doesn’t act as a crypto wallet or custodian. It facilitates crypto payouts but does not hold crypto on behalf of users or merchants.
