Stablecoin demand is on the rise, with market capitalization surpassing $231 billion in May 2025.
Stripe, a global payments platform, has introduced stablecoin-based accounts to clients in over 100 countries.
According to a May 7 announcement, the new feature will allow the platform’s clients “to send, receive, and hold US-dollar stablecoin account balances, similar to how a traditional fiat bank account works.”
The product’s technical page shows that the new account feature will support Circle’s USDC (USDC) and Bridge’s USDB (USDB) stablecoins. Stripe acquired the Bridge platform in October 2024.
The product will be available to clients in more than 100 countries, including Argentina, Chilé, Turkey, Colombia, and Peru, among others.
