Stripe is making a huge play for an alternative payment network to tackle credit card networks through stablecoins without touching the banking system.

They’re putting it together piece by piece, but the biggest variable is real world payment when a crypto wallet has to meet a POS at the store.

Thats the big enchilada crypto infrastructure hasn’t been mature to tackle till recently. Mostly due to TPS & privacy.

In the next year we’ll probably see several solutions offering POS middleware for stablecoins in a Venmo like model.
