Stripe and Plasma are collaborating to develop payment cards linked to stablecoins, allowing users to spend balances in their existing currencies without costly conversions. The infrastructure will support multiple currencies including the U.S. dollar, euro, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, and Colombian peso, with stablecoins like Open USD (OUSD) under the GENIUS Act. This innovation enables customers to pay directly in their currency and businesses to issue cards tailored to their spending needs. Stripe's service currently operates in over 30 countries, with plans to expand to 100 countries by 2027, aiming to simplify cross-currency payments and reduce foreign-exchange fees.
The Stripe and Plasma stablecoin card initiative offers new payment options across five fiat currencies.
