Stripe, Crypto.com Team Up to Bring Crypto Payments to Millions of Merchants
Stripe announced a partnership with Crypto.com to enable frictionless digital-asset payments for the millions of businesses that use its payments infrastructure. The collaboration will allow merchants to present crypto payment options at checkout and tap Crypto.com’s wallets and rails for processing customer payments, giving merchants a straightforward way to add crypto to existing invoicing and checkout flows.
The deal could meaningfully accelerate mainstream acceptance by reducing technical friction and expanding payment choice for consumers, particularly crypto-native buyers. It also raises practical questions for merchants around settlement options, volatility management and cross-jurisdictional compliance, but the scale of Stripe’s network combined with Crypto.com’s onboarding and custody capabilities makes this a notable step toward broader commercial crypto use.
