#StripeStablecoinAccounts Stripe has reintroduced cryptocurrency payments, allowing merchants in the US to accept stablecoins such as USDC and USDP through the Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon blockchains. On the first day, users from more than 70 countries took advantage of this feature, highlighting the global demand for alternative payment methods. Transactions are converted into US dollars and stored in Stripe wallets with a 1.5% fee — lower than traditional card processing fees. This move follows Stripe's acquisition of Bridge for $1.1 billion, a stablecoin infrastructure platform, which strengthens its crypto capabilities. By integrating stablecoin payments, Stripe aims to offer faster and more cost-effective solutions for global trade.
