Stripe starting to accept USDC stablecoin as payment method

Stripe announced that it will let customers accept USDC stablecoin payments, initially only on Solana, Ethereum and Polygon, its first crypto payments since dropping Bitcoin in 2018. The move follows its 2022 USDC payouts service, which named Twitter as its marquee customer, while this announcement names no customers. John Collison, Stripe co-founder and president, is due to announce the news at the Connect developer conference in San Francisco this week.
