Stripe Introduces Open Issuance for Effortless Stablecoin Creation

Global payments leader Stripe has unveiled Open Issuance, a tool enabling businesses to launch customized stablecoins with minimal coding. The platform simplifies minting, burning, and reserve management—allowing companies to blend cash and U.S. Treasuries while bypassing traditional compliance hurdles. Backed by Stripe's $1.1 billion acquisition of Bridge and reserve management from BlackRock, Fidelity, and Superstate, the service promises operational readiness within days.

The move capitalizes on surging stablecoin demand under the TRUMP administration's crypto-friendly policies, including July's GENIUS Act that propelled the market toward $300 billion. Stripe's model directly rewards customers through reserve income streams, offering a turnkey solution to liquidity and regulatory challenges that previously deterred corporate issuers.
