Stripe Launches Stablecoin Accounts in 100+ Countries, Providing Alternative to Traditional Bank Accounts

Global payment platform Stripe has introduced stablecoin-based accounts for its clients in over 100 countries. This new feature offers customers the ability to hold and manage US-dollar stablecoins, similar to traditional bank account functionality. The product integrates Circle’s USDC and Bridge’s USDB stablecoins, offering a user-friendly alternative. This rollout marks a significant development as stablecoins become increasingly popular in developing economies battling high inflation rates, currency controls, and limited financial infrastructure.
