# Stripe to roll out stablecoin cards in over 100 countries by year-end

> Stripe will extend its stablecoin card offering to over 100 countries by year-end, giving businesses a new cross-border payment option as digital dollars gain traction.

## Key Takeaways (TL;DR)

- Stripe aims to launch stablecoin card programs in 100+ countries by year-end.
- Stablecoin card spend hit $1.2 billion last month, three times the volume a year earlier.
- The rollout leverages Stripe’s existing card infrastructure and its 2024 Bridge and 2025 Privy acquisitions.

Stripe said it will expand its stablecoin card programs to more than 100 countries by year-end, a move that directly affects corporate clients such as crypto exchange Kraken, fintech Ramp and payments app Morse [CoinDesk](https://www.coindesk.com/business/stripe-to-expand-stablecoin-cards-to-over-100-countries-by-the-end-of-the-year).

Paymentscan data show stablecoin card spending reached about $1.2 billion last month, tripling the amount recorded a year earlier.

Stripe has issued more than 400 million cards and processed hundreds of billions of dollars in volume since 2018.

The expansion builds on Stripe’s 2024 $1.1 billion acquisition of Bridge and its 2025 purchase of Privy, whose CEO Henri Stern now oversees stablecoins and crypto across Stripe.

Stern said the offering is “stablecoin-agnostic, blockchain-agnostic” and will be integrated with Stripe’s existing card infrastructure.

Our read: The broad rollout gives multinational firms a shortcut to accept digital dollars without rebuilding banking relationships in each market, potentially reshaping go-to-market strategies for companies that rely on cross-border payments.
