The Stablecoin Shuffle: Stripe’s Latest Dabble in Digital Dough 🍰💸

by

What to know:

  • Stripe, that sprightly fellow, is rolling out the red carpet for businesses outside the U.S., U.K., and E.U. to take a shiny new stablecoin for a spin.
  • Yes, the chosen ones reside beyond the usual suspects—because, why not shake things up?
  • This comes hot on the heels of Stripe’s regulatory nod to gobble up Bridge, a platform with more coins than a pirate’s chest.

Our good chap Stripe is twiddling its digital thumbs, preparing to test what’s basically a monetary Swiss Army knife for enterprises trapped outside America, Britain, and the European bureaucratic hexagon.

Patrick Collison, the skipper of this ship, tweeted (because that’s how CEOs do these days) that this idea has been marinating for nearly a decade—a bit like a fine whisky, but with less fire and more blockchain.

Joining forces with Bridge’s brainy bunch, coiffed ex-Coinbase maestros Zach Abrams and Sean Yu, Stripe aims to give the stodgy, old SWIFT network a run for its money—quite literally. Picture cross-border payments zipping around like someone poured espresso in the system.
