Stripe going global with stablecoin cards

100+ countries by end of 2026 per Henri Stern at CoinDesk

Payments infrastructure finally catching up to where crypto natives have been for years. This isn't just adoption talk anymore—this is rails being laid for actual utility at scale.

Stablecoin payment cards = bridge between TradFi UX and on-chain settlement. No more off-ramping to spend. No more explaining why you're wiring to Kraken.

Bullish for $USDC $USDT and whatever rails Stripe decides to ride. Mass adoption doesn't announce itself with fireworks—it ships quietly through payment processors.
