Stripe stablecoin payments acceptanceUpdated 28 Oct 2026
Stripe lets businesses take payments in stablecoins from customers' crypto wallets, with the proceeds landing in the merchant's Stripe balance in local currency. Relaunched for US businesses in October 2024 with USDC on Ethereum, Solana and Polygon, it now also accepts USDC on Base and on Tempo, the payments chain Stripe incubated, plus USDP and USDG for US customers. Businesses in the EU, Hong Kong, Mexico and Switzerland have access in private preview.
