Stripe launches innovative stablecoin accounts, allowing businesses in over 100 countries to hold their funds in stablecoins like USDC and USDB. These accounts enable the receipt of payments through both cryptocurrency and traditional networks, as well as sending funds to external accounts or digital wallets.
This step represents a significant expansion in the adoption of digital currencies, as Stripe already processes trillions of dollars in payments annually. However, it raises some concerns about potential fees that may impact the adoption of these accounts.
