Crypto.com and Stripe Partnership Enables Crypto Payments for U.S. Shoppers

Crypto.com and Stripe have partnered to integrate cryptocurrency payments into everyday online shopping in the United States.

  • Customers can pay directly with digital assets without converting to cash first.
  • The payment option will appear on checkout pages for selected Stripe merchants.
  • After selecting crypto, buyers scan a QR code and approve the payment via the Crypto.com app.
  • Transactions are completed in seconds using Stripe's existing checkout setup.
  • Merchants do not need additional systems to accept crypto payments.
  • Funds are settled normally alongside card and wallet payments, reducing risk for sellers.

Growing Interest in Crypto Payments

  • Crypto.com aims to simplify crypto spending to the level of phone wallet usage.
  • This partnership reflects rising interest in using digital currencies for daily transactions.
  • Other companies like Walmart-backed OnePay are also venturing into crypto trading and custody services.
  • Rumble, in collaboration with Tether and MoonPay, launched a crypto wallet for digital creators.

Crypto.com and Stripe expect their partnership to expand to more markets as demand for crypto payments grows, marking a shift towards practical use of digital currencies in online retail.
