$BTC introduced Stablecoin Financial Accounts, enabling businesses in over 100 countries to hold, send, and receive USD-backed stablecoins like USDC and USDB . These accounts function similarly to traditional bank accounts, allowing for seamless transactions via both crypto and fiat rails, including ACH and SEPA .

Businesses can accept stablecoin payments through Stripe's Checkout, Elements, or Payment Intents API, with transactions settling in fiat currency within their Stripe balance . This setup eliminates the complexities of handling or converting cryptocurrencies. Additionally, Stripe offers stablecoin payouts, enabling platforms to pay out in USDC to users' crypto wallets, enhancing global payment flexibility .

To get started, businesses need to activate a Stripe account, request access to the Crypto payment method, and, upon approval, integrate the desired payment solutions. This initiative is particularly beneficial for businesses in regions with volatile currencies, offering a stable and efficient means to engage in global commerce.
