Stripe plans to expand its stablecoin card programs to more than 100 countries by the end of 2026, according to Henri Stern, who now oversees stablecoins and crypto at the payments company. Current customers include Kraken, Ramp and Morse.

Stablecoin card spending reached about $1.2 billion last month, triple the volume from a year earlier, according to Paymentscan. Stripe aims to connect stablecoins with its existing card and payments infrastructure, giving businesses another way to serve customers across borders.

Stripe is also exploring tokenized deposits, DeFi use cases and support for more digital assets. Stern said the company plans to remain stablecoin and blockchain agnostic, with most of its work currently focused on stablecoins.
