Stripe and Plasma announce stablecoin cards for over 100 countries by 2027
Stripe and its partner Plasma announced plans to launch payment cards that let users spend stablecoins in five fiat currencies across more than 100 countries by 2027. The cards will support USDC, OUSD and other GENIUS Act‑compliant stablecoins, allowing users to avoid currency‑exchange fees and transfer delays. The partnership was revealed on October 15, 2026 and builds on Stripe’s existing multi‑currency stablecoin card infrastructure, which is already operational in over 30 countries. Monthly spending through Stripe’s stablecoin card infrastructure is estimated at about $1.2 billion in 2026. Plasma One customers will transition their multi‑currency accounts to Stripe’s card system.
