🚀 NEW EPISODE 🚀 The Stablecoin (R)Evolution @tw_tter chats with @john3gan about online payment rails, @stripe's integration of stablecoins and their disruptive potential. Through lower costs, near-instataneous settlement and an overall better UX, startups and enterprises alike can now reach more markets and appeal to the wider crypto-native community. By abstracting away all the complexities of traditional payment rails through simple plug-and-play APIs, Stripe created a facile route for cross-border payments, simplifying e-commerce. Similarly, Stripe’s recent integration of stablecoins could further bolster the adoption of decentralised payment solutions, be them USD or other currency proxies.
