Re:Stripe to start taking crypto payments starting with USDC... by imtringued on Friday April 26, 2024 @09:02AM (#40168943)
What motivation is there for stripe to accept cryptocurrency payments? It feels like someone is pushing for it without there actually being enough consumer demand for a large company to bother with this.

Also, one problem with USDC is that there is not a single "USDC", every Blockchain has its own independent version of USDC. So advertising "USDC" is kind of meaningless, because you have to support Ethereum USDC, Solana USDC and so on.

what is the right demand when stripe should be supporting?

Currently there are 93M wallets holding stablecoins with a weekly transfer of 373B[0].
