On May 7, 2025, Stripe announced the launch of a new feature known as "Stablecoin Financial Accounts," a step aimed at enabling businesses in 101 countries to manage their funds using stable digital currencies such as USDC and USDB.

✅ What are Stripe's Stablecoin Accounts?

These accounts serve as a means for businesses to hold balances in US dollars through stablecoins, allowing them to:

1- Receive funds through traditional networks (such as ACH and SEPA) or via digital currency networks.

2- Send payments in stablecoins to anywhere in the world.

3- Easily convert between digital currencies and traditional currencies.

These accounts are managed by Bridge, which was acquired by Stripe in February 2025 for $1.1 billion.

⚠️ Important notes:

1- Fees: Stripe has not yet disclosed the details of the fees associated with these accounts, raising some concerns about potential costs.

2- Availability: The service is currently available in 101 countries, with plans for future expansion.
