Stripe, a fintech service, has announced that it will be adding crypto payments for US businesses. The service will accept stablecoins from 150 countries, with Circle's USDC being the first stablecoin accepted. Payments will be processed through Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana, but not Base. Stripe aims to provide a transparent and secure payment option for businesses. This move comes after Stripe divested its crypto services in 2018 and missed out on the first bull market. However, it has now re-entered the crypto space, offering a crypto payment button as an alternative to regular card payments. Stripe aims to expand its user base and decrease the potential for fraud through this new feature. The company has already processed payments from 75 countries and is expected to boost crypto adoption with the USDC option. Stripe is a growing fintech company that aims to process payments for businesses of all sizes, and is currently only available to accredited investors.
