Online payments giant Stripe is opening crypto payment access for its users this week. To do so, Stripe has integrated Crypto,com within its platform to process crypto payments for day-to-day utility purchases.
Headquartered in San Fransicso, U.S., Stripe is a fintech platform that claims to be catering to over 300,000 corporate clients and 200 million active users internationally. In February 2025, the platform had said that its payment volume hit $1.4 trillion.
Its move to let users process crypto payments from within its app reflects at the growing sentiment of making crypto assets a mainstream mode of payments. It also shows that merchants, globally, are warming up towards accepting crypto payments.
“Now customers will be able to checkout and pay with their preferred cryptocurrency and stablecoins. Stripe converts payments into the business’s preferred local currency, to be deposited into their bank account just like any other payment they receive,” the announcement said.
As part of this collaboration, Crypto.com has decided to let Stripe users purchase crypto via their credit or debit cards.
“Increasing everyday accessibility to and utility of cryptocurrencies for consumers and merchants is central to our vision,” said Joe Anzures, General Manager, Americas and EVP of Payments, Crypto.com as commenting on the development.
While Singapore-headquartered Crypto.com functions as a mainstream crypto exchange, Stripe has been taking efforts to include crypto-related services into its offerings portfolios.
In October 2025, for instance, Stripe added a feature to let users create their own stablecoins using a few lines of code. This is to let firms burn and stablecoins after their own brandings and store in cash-proportionate requirements.
The platform is also working with Paradigm to explore blockchain and stablecoin solutions for day-to-day payments.
