Stripe Launches Stablecoin Accounts in 101 Countries: Crypto-Fiat Future Begins
In a groundbreaking move, Stripe has launched Stablecoin Financial Accounts in over 100 countries, enabling businesses to hold, send, and receive USDC and USDB. This marks a major shift in global payments, allowing seamless integration between stablecoins and traditional fiat systems like ACH and SEPA.
Thanks to Stripe’s 2024 acquisition of Bridge, users can now operate in stablecoins with speed and minimal fees — a game-changer for entrepreneurs in volatile economies. Stripe also partnered with Visa to roll out stablecoin-linked cards, letting users spend USDC directly at any Visa merchant.
This is a bold step toward mass stablecoin adoption.
