Aptos, a Layer-1 blockchain, is integrating Stripe’s payment services and adding USDC stablecoin support. This move aims to make Aptos more user-friendly and accessible.
Stripe Onboard for Payments
Stripe’s payment system will act as a bridge, allowing users to easily move traditional money (fiat) onto the Aptos network. This is a big step for Aptos, making it easier for people to use the blockchain for transactions.
USDC Integration
Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, is enthusiastic about the partnership, highlighting the potential for a high-performance, programmable money infrastructure. The integration of USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, adds stability and reduces volatility for Aptos users. This is part of Circle’s broader strategy to expand USDC’s reach.
Stripe’s Return to Crypto
This partnership marks Stripe’s return to the crypto space after previously discontinuing Bitcoin support in 2018. They cited Bitcoin’s limitations as a payment method at the time.
Aptos Token Performance
Currently, the Aptos token (APT) is trading around $11.98. While it’s down slightly in the last 24 hours, it’s seen positive growth over the past week and month. However, it’s still below its all-time high of $19.92.
