#StripeStablecoinAccounts Stripe Launches Stablecoin Accounts in 100+ Countries
Stripe is rolling out Stablecoin Financial Accounts across ~101 countries, letting businesses hold, send, and receive USD stablecoins (Circle’s USDC and Stripe’s USDB) on both crypto rails and traditional rails.

🔗 Dual rails: Businesses can send/receive in USDC or USDB over both crypto networks and fiat rails (ACH/SEPA), making international transfers faster and cheaper.
💸 USDC & USDB support: Launching with Circle’s USDC and Bridge’s USDB (from Stripe’s Bridge acquisition), with more dollar-backed tokens planned.
🔄 Inflation hedge: Useful for entrepreneurs in unstable economies to store value in stablecoins and protect against local currency volatility.
