Initially, this expansion will target crypto marketplaces and vendors to help them purchase crypto easily. Recently, Stripe started supporting stable coin payments using USD Coin.

This feature is helpful especially for those vendors who want to use crypto for online payments on their websites. Crypto payments can be instantly converted to fiat currencies like Euro or Dollar. Stripe will also manage charges, disputes, and regulatory requirements.
