by Jake ClaverStripe stablecoin payments, supported networks, and Stellar exclusion: stablecoins doing real settlement work
Here the focus is Stripe stablecoin payments, supported networks, and Stellar exclusion, which put stablecoins to work as settlement money. Every part of it traces back to a named, primary source.
The Settlement Layer
This material is about fiat-denominated value moving through the ecosystem, usually via issuance or settlement. The primary source is the Stripe stablecoin payments docs, a technical reference, with supporting material from the Stripe crypto use-case page and the SDF 2024 year-in-review Stripe payout note.
What This Means For Stellar
What it changes for the Stellar ecosystem: stablecoin activity can improve how useful a network is for payments and treasury operations. The broader research trail also includes the Federal Reserve payment stablecoins and cross-border payments note, the OCC GENIUS Act proposed rule bulletin, and the FSB global stablecoin recommendations.
