Leading payment company Stripe is in talks with banks about integrating stablecoins into their services, emphasizing the rising interest in digital tokens for international transfers.
Stripe's Discussions with the Banking Sector
Co-founder and President of Stripe, John Collison, stated that the company is actively discussing the integration of stablecoins with banks. He noted that banks are interested in how to best implement these new technologies and that this is not viewed as a fleeting trend. Stripe has also launched stablecoin accounts in 101 countries, allowing businesses to send, receive, and hold USDC and USDB.
The Stablecoin Market and Its Achievements
The transaction volume using stablecoins reached $94.3 billion in 2025, primarily driven by B2B transfers, which accounted for an annual transaction volume of $36 billion. The study revealed that the annual settlement pace reached $72.3 billion in February 2025, with about 10 million blockchain addresses making stablecoin transactions daily.
The Future of Stablecoins in Financial Services
Collison expressed hope that Stripe's new products would help lower the costs of international transfers, which currently incur high fees. The stablecoin market continues to grow, and many banks, such as Visa Inc., are exploring ways to integrate these technologies into their offerings.
Stripe's efforts to integrate stablecoins into banking services highlight the growing interest in digital assets from traditional financial institutions, potentially signifying significant changes in the realm of international payments.
