USDC Integrated by Shopify and Stripe—Stablecoin Adoption Accelerates
🛒 Shopify has officially launched USDC stablecoin payments across its platform, partnering with Stripe and Coinbase to enable seamless crypto transactions in 34 countries. Merchants can now accept USDC via Shopify Payments and Shop Pay, with no foreign exchange fees and 0.5% cashback incentives.

Customers can pay using hundreds of supported wallets, while merchants receive either local currency or direct USDC payouts.
