Stripe CEO Announces Native Stablecoin Launch After Decade-Long Consideration
Stripe CEO Patrick Collison has revealed plans to launch a native stablecoin for the payment platform, marking the culmination of a decade-long consideration. The announcement, made via social media platform X, signals Stripe’s strategic move into dollarized liquidity solutions for global markets.
The stablecoin’s specific parameters remain undefined, but its development targets regions beyond the heavily regulated US, EU, and UK markets. Collison’s statement suggests the project has reached an inflection point, with technological and market conditions now aligning with Stripe’s original vision for digital payment infrastructure.
