Stripe offers US stablecoin payouts to wallets in 160+ markets
Nov 05, 2026
Stripe has made stablecoin payouts to crypto wallets available to eligible U.S. businesses across more than 160 recipient markets, with New York companies excluded from the public preview.
According to Stripe’s documentation, businesses can fund the transfers from a USD or USDC balance in their financial account, with recipients receiving stablecoins through a supported blockchain.
Payments typically arrive within minutes, although network conditions can delay delivery. The service is listed as a public preview, and businesses based in New York can register to be notified when access becomes available.
USDC payouts support nine blockchain networks
The supported USDC networks are Arbitrum, Avalanche C-Chain, Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, Solana, Stellar and Tempo. OUSD payouts are available on Base, Ethereum, Solana and Tempo.
Before sending funds, Stripe instructs businesses to check that the recipient’s wallet supports both the selected stablecoin and the chosen network.
Stripe’s fees depend on the size of the payout
Stripe’s published pricing lists stablecoin payouts at $0.50 per payment plus 0.5% of the amount sent. Its listed SWIFT wire transfer fee is $25.
Using those published charges, a $1,000 stablecoin payout would cost $5.50, compared with the listed $25 SWIFT fee. At $10,000, the stablecoin payout charge would be $50.50.
The two listed payout charges are equal at $4,900. Below that amount, the stablecoin charge is lower; above it, the percentage component takes the stablecoin fee past $25.
Those calculations cover the advertised payout charges before any applicable conversion or platform fees. Stripe lists currency conversion starting at 0.5% and a platform fee of 0.05% on monthly payout volume above a $1 million allowance across payment methods.
Stripe has introduced separate business transfer tools
The wallet payout option sits alongside other ways businesses can move money through Stripe.
As crypto. news previously reported, the company introduced free instant business transfers through Stripe Pay in October, using business profile handles to identify recipients. Both parties need qualifying financial accounts to use that service.
In its Oct. 16 product announcement, Stripe described another expansion involving stablecoin cards. The company said card issuing had reached 27 European Union countries, bringing availability to more than 65 countries worldwide.
Stripe said it planned to reach 100 countries by the end of 2026. Its stablecoin cards can draw on balances held in custodial wallets, noncustodial wallets, or Stripe financial accounts, with funds converted into local currency when a cardholder makes a purchase.

Developcoins Marketview
Stripe’s latest stablecoin payout expansion marks a significant step forward for blockchain-based business payments. With support for USDC and multiple blockchain networks across more than 160 markets, businesses have new opportunities to streamline international transfers and reduce payment costs. The Developcoins team believes this development could accelerate stablecoin adoption, while businesses should consider network compatibility, transaction fees, and regulatory requirements when integrating stablecoin payment solutions.
