Stripe and USDC: A measured revolution in digital payments (Opinion at 150 days)

One hundred and fifty days after Stripe's announcement about stablecoin support, the effects begin to outline a trend: cautious adoption, but with promising structural impact.

1. Moderate but significant initial traction: Although not all merchants have adopted the new feature, global startups, digital creators, and businesses in emerging economies have started to integrate it, especially where access to strong currencies is complex or costly.

2. Stability and speed as key advantages: The ability to receive almost instant payments in USDC, avoiding the fluctuations of exchange rates or international banking delays, has made Stripe position itself as a solid bridge between the traditional financial system and the crypto economy.

3. Challenges in infrastructure and education: Despite its usability, the concept of stablecoins remains foreign to many users. Stripe has had to invest in simplifying the experience, hiding the crypto complexity behind a familiar interface.
