Increased Stripe partnerships

Since last year, Stripe has ramped up the number of crypto firm partnerships as more and more nations enable cryptocurrency payments.

USDC has been one of the cryptocurrencies that have received high adoption with corporations now being able to transfer USDC payments to individuals and organizations worldwide.

One of the recent Stripe partnerships is its partnership with the decentralized music discovery network Audius, making Audius one of the first companies to use Stripe’s new on-ramp. Audius announced that it accepted Stripe’s payment solution to allow users to use their credit cards to purchase their native AUDIO coin and tip their favourite musicians.
