Stripe already speaks to banks how they could use stablecoins for world payments, co-founder John Collison said in Bloomberg News in a recent interview.
Collison did not specify which banks were involved and what exact use cases were discussed, but he stressed that the banks are “very interested” and not rejecting the stablecoins “as a fashion”.
Conversations are involved as a global payment giant, which treated $ 1.4 billion in transactions last year, continues new initiatives in crypto and artificial intelligence, two of the most important innovation themes dominating the headlines in the past year.
In October 2024, Stripe sealed an agreement of $ 1.1 billion to acquire a Stablecoin platform bridge. The company based in Texas has served a number of high -level names like SpaceX and Stellar.
The acquisition, which is part of the Stripe strategy aimed at improving the global adoption of stables and its use for easier and more economical monetary transactions was only the beginning. Collison said last month that the company was working on a stablecoin product in US dollars.
The product, currently in the test phase, targets users of companies outside the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. Its objective is to extend the global scope of the dollar, facilitated by the improved capabilities of Stripe.
Other developments have followed the advertisement of the Stablecoin product.
Earlier this month, the World Payment Company has launched Stablecoin financial accounts, which allows companies in 101 countries to manage funds in stables supported by a dollar. He also unveiled the Payments foundation model, an AI system designed to improve fraud detection and increase transactions approval rates.
As part of its thrust on the Stablescoin market, the company brought together a world team of approximately 100 employees focused on stablescoins and crypto, with plans to extend hiring to San Francisco, New York, Dublin and London, as indicated in the report.
Wall Street wakes up with the Stablecoin opportunity
From Capitol Hill to Wall Street, Stablecoins dominate cryptographic conversation in 2025.
They have become one of the most popular subjects of the year, especially since world economic power is preparing to adopt its first major cryptographic legislation, with a bill focused on the floors.
In the United States, banking giants, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo, explore a collaborative project of Stablecoin to improve their competitive advantage on digital active platforms.
The stablescoins supported by banks – in accordance with regulatory standards – become a main component of digital asset strategies in the banking sector. And this trend is spreading on a global scale.
Banco Santander explores the launch of a stablecoin while expanding its retail crypto offers. Meanwhile, the company France General, through its Cryptographic Division SG Forge, is preparing to issue a stablecoin supported by an American dollar on Ethereum.
The Stablecoins treated a total of $ 94 billion in transactions from January 2023 to February 2025, with business commercial payments (B2B) significantly contributing to an annual rate of $ 36 billion, according to a new artemis report.
The USDT of Tether and the Circle USDC dominated the payment space during the period, mainly on the Blockchains Tron and Ethereum.
