It's just FOMO, i think, since PayPal did something similar.

No doubt they had an analysis about it. But the potential cost of being wrong is much bigger than financing 5 employees.

I don't think it is. It's just about accepting other means of payments, which is Stripe's business. I'm more interested in what a company like Wise would do with stablecoins.

It's all about how many transactions there are.

I don't think there are enough, just like in the past

It’s up to stripe to decide if there is enough transaction now to make it worth it, or if they want to be one of the first to support the market.
