Stripe Invests in Stablecoin Integration with Banking Partners

Stripe’s recent acquisition of Bridge for $1.1 billion indicates its strong commitment to stablecoins. This move reflects a growing interest from banks who are exploring integrating these digital assets into their products. Stripe is now offering access to stablecoins in 101 countries, enabling efficient cross-border payments. Co-founder John Collison highlighted this shift during a recent event at Stripe Sessions 2025. Banks view stablecoins as a solution to existing payment challenges, driving significant investments by companies like Stripe, marking a significant change in financial strategies.
