Stripe Accelerates USDC Adoption with Global Stablecoin Accounts in 100+ Countries
Stripe has launched stablecoin financial accounts across more than 100 jurisdictions, marking its most significant crypto infrastructure rollout since discontinuing Bitcoin payments in 2018. The service initially supports USD Coin (USDC) and Bridge’s USDB, enabling businesses to hold balances, receive payments via fiat or crypto rails, and execute cross-border transfers.
The move targets enterprises in inflation-prone economies and regions with limited banking access. Stripe’s product team highlighted the solution’s role in currency hedging and global commerce facilitation during their San Francisco conference. While no direct exchange partnerships were announced, the infrastructure could later integrate with platforms like Coinbase or Binance for liquidity.
