$USDC

This is a new feature #StripeStablecoinAccounts from Stripe that allows platforms to offer USDC (U.S. Dollar Coin) accounts to their users. With this, businesses and freelancers can receive payments in stablecoins like USDC directly into their Stripe accounts, providing faster and lower-cost access to digital dollars. This feature is particularly valuable for users in countries with limited access to traditional banking systems or those facing currency instability.

It is almost instantaneous and low-fee. Stripe handles the complex blockchain infrastructure in the background, making it easy for platforms to integrate without needing cryptocurrency expertise. Funds can also be converted to fiat currencies when needed.

By supporting stablecoin accounts, Stripe is bridging Web2 and Web3 funding, enabling global economic participation and providing a modern alternative to banking systems.
