Stripe: The Stablecoin (R)Evolution - John Egan
Duration: 01:05:36
July 1, 2025
- Stripe aims to simplify access to complex financial systems through APIs, and sees stablecoins as an opportunity to rebuild digital money from first principles.
- Stripe initially supported Bitcoin but discontinued it due to poor user experience and buyer's remorse, later re-engaging with stablecoins as developer interest grew substantially.
- Stripe's current focus is on enabling global access and dollar access via stablecoins, viewing stablecoins as just another currency integrated into existing payment systems to enhance speed and accessibility.
