Shopify is the first to introduce USDC on Base, and DoorDash is expected to follow suit, as stablecoins rapidly penetrate the mainstream business payment landscape (Background: Behind JD.com and Ant Group's application for stablecoin licenses: The new round of digital payment positioning battle) (Supplementary background: 'JD.com' enters Hong Kong's stablecoin market, can China’s largest e-commerce ignite the crypto payment revolution?) As stablecoin regulations accelerate implementation, they are also quickly integrating into everyday consumption. Shopify launched the USDC payment channel on the Base network in June this year, allowing platform merchants to directly receive stablecoins, with transaction fees lower than traditional credit cards and settlement time reduced from several days to just minutes. Next stop: delivery platforms? Just a few days ago, Base co-founder Jesse Pollak expressed on X his hope to bring the same mechanism to delivery, ride-sharing, and retail giants, specifically naming DoorDash, Uber, Amazon, and several other platforms, writing: My dream app, if they support stablecoin payments, would enhance my life tenfold Not able to DM you, DM me — Andy Fang (@andyfang) June 16, 2025 As a result, on the 16th, Andy Fang, co-founder of the US delivery market 'king' DoorDash, publicly stated his willingness to engage in dialogue with him. DoorDash had previously tested payments through CoinZoom cards, showing an open attitude towards new payment models. If cooperation between the two parties really materializes, future payments could be made with USDC, which would also reduce the remittance costs that the platform pays to cross-border drivers. Regulation and user education remain key Currently, the US and EU are proposing new regulations regarding stablecoin reserve transparency and issuance licenses, which will directly impact whether large platforms expand their adoption. Additionally, insufficient multi-chain support has limited the audience, and the community has called for more chains to be opened to lower the entry threshold. Nevertheless, from Shopify to the potentially joining DoorDash, mainstream consumption scenarios are gradually proving that stablecoins can create real value in cost reduction and accelerated settlement. If subsequent cooperation goes smoothly, in the future seeing 'Pay with USDC' options at travel, ride-hailing, or coffee chains will no longer just be a marketing slogan, but a new payment norm.
