#StripeStablecoinAccounts Stripe and Cryptocurrency: What is it?

Stripe is one of the largest payment platforms in the world (fintech company) that allows businesses to accept online payments. In the context of cryptocurrency, “Stripe crypto” usually means that Stripe:

• Supports the acceptance of payments in cryptocurrency (for example, USDC — a stablecoin based on Ethereum, Solana blockchains, etc.).

• Allows converting crypto to fiat (dollars, euros, etc.) so that sellers do not have to deal with volatility.

• Integrates Web3 projects — Stripe supports blockchain startups for user verification (KYC), payouts, etc.

⸻

Examples of usage:

• In 2022–2024, Stripe allowed payouts in USDC through the Solana network.

• The platform actively works with NFT marketplaces and wallets, such as Phantom or Rainbow.

• Many Web3 startups use Stripe for legal fiat on-ramping (withdrawing money from crypto to dollars or euros).

Stripe is not a cryptocurrency — it is a bridge between traditional finance and the crypto sphere.
