tldr; Stripe, a fintech giant, is re-entering the cryptocurrency payment space by allowing customers to accept payments in USDC stablecoins, initially supported on Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon networks. This marks Stripe's first move back into crypto payments since discontinuing Bitcoin support in 2018 due to its instability. The announcement was made by Stripe co-founder John Collison at the company's Connect developer conference in San Francisco.
