Stripe to integrate crypto payments
This week, payment giant Stripe announced that they are re-integrating crypto into its payment services. Starting this summer, users can pay with the stablecoin USDC at the Stripe checkout. From the user's perspective, Stripe will initially accept USDC payments over the Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon networks. For companies using Stripe, the USDC payments will instantly be converted to fiat currency. This is not the first time Stripe has ventured into crypto payments. Already in 2014, Stripe enabled bitcoin payments. In 2018, the bitcoin payment option was discontinued, citing that bitcoin was better suited as an asset than a medium of exchange.
