Stripe and Crypto.com have partnered to expand access to cryptocurrency payments. The integration allows Stripe-supported merchants to accept crypto payments through Crypto.com Pay, in what the companies described as a step toward merging digital assets with mainstream commerce.
Through the new setup, customers will reportedly be able to pay directly with cryptocurrency or stablecoins using their Crypto.com Pay balance.

Stripe will then convert the received payment into the merchant’s local currency and deposit funds into their bank account, simplifying the process for businesses that want to accept crypto without dealing with price volatility.
Crypto.com becomes the first crypto firm integrated with Stripe for direct balance payments. The move broadens the payment giant’s reach in digital assets while offering a more convenient crypto checkout option to consumers.
Crypto.com to Use Stripe for Card Transactions
In addition to the checkout integration, Crypto.com will now use Stripe to process card-based crypto purchases. The arrangement allows users to buy cryptocurrencies with credit or debit cards more easily, supporting Crypto.com’s card products in the U.S. market.
The collaboration reflects a growing effort among payment processors to integrate digital assets into traditional systems. Stripe’s large merchant network and Crypto.com’s crypto infrastructure could help expand crypto’s use in regular transactions.
Founded in 2016, Crypto.com says it serves millions of users globally and remains focused on compliance and security as it works to increase adoption of digital currencies.
Expect ongoing updates as this story evolves.
