Stripe’s Stablecoin Play: A Trojan Horse for Mass Adoption?
Stripe just dropped a bombshell—financial accounts now support stablecoin transactions. No more begging legacy banks for permission to move money. The rails are being rebuilt, and Wall Street didn’t get the memo.
Why this matters: Stablecoins cut settlement times from days to seconds. They bypass correspondent banking’s 1970s-era spaghetti code. And they do it while (theoretically) dodging the volatility that scares CFOs.
The fine print? Stripe’s not doing this for altruism. Every corporate stablecoin flow means more data, more lock-in, and—surprise—more fee revenue. But if it gets digital assets into QuickBooks, even crypto skeptics might stop laughing.
Bonus jab: Watch Jamie Dimon call this ‘dangerous’ while JPMorgan quietly files three stablecoin patents.
