#StripeStablecoinAccounts
This is an important step: the launch of Stripe with stablecoins like USDC and USDB in over 100 countries is a signal that stablecoins are indeed beginning to become an infrastructural part of global payments.
Are stablecoins becoming the new foundation of global payments?
Very likely — yes:
Low volatility makes them suitable for transactions.
Instant and cheap transfers, especially through blockchains with low fees (e.g., Solana, Base, Layer-2 Ethereum).
Resistance to inflation in countries with unstable currencies.
Integration with fintechs like Stripe removes barriers for businesses and does not require crypto knowledge from users.
Personally, I would suggest this approach:
For business or freelance work — Stripe is excellent for working with clients around the world: simple, compliant, scalable.
For personal transfers/storage — it’s better to use non-custodial wallets (like Trust Wallet, Rabby, Ledger), especially if privacy and sovereignty are important.
