Payment giant Stripe will resume accepting cryptocurrency payments after 6 years

BlockBeats news, on April 26, TechCrunch reported that payment giant Stripe will resume accepting cryptocurrency payments after 6 years. The company announced on Thursday that it will allow customers to accept cryptocurrency payments, first supporting USDC stablecoins, which will only be used on Solana, Ethereum and Polygon. It is reported that this is the first time Stripe has accepted crypto payments since 2018, when the company abandoned support for Bitcoin payments due to high Bitcoin price volatility. Stripe first tried to re-enter the cryptocurrency market in 2022, when it announced that it would make payments in the form of USDC (but not accept payments), and Twitter was a major customer of the service. Stripe co-founder and president John Collison will announce the news at the company's Connect developer conference in San Francisco this week.
