“Stripe and Coinbase have announced a partnership to increase on-chain adoption and provide faster, cheaper financial infrastructure. Stripe will add support for Base across its crypto product suite to offer users faster and cheaper money transfers, and Coinbase will add Stripe’s fiat-to-crypto on-ramp into Coinbase Wallet to allow users to buy crypto instantly with Credit cards and Apple Pay.”

Three main areas to improve business development globally include Stripe onboarding USDC on Base. This move allows Stripe to perform faster and cheaper transactions across 150 countries. The firm will also add USDC on Base to the fiat-to-crypto onramp for US customers to convert fiat to crypto faster.

Stripe to Leverage on Base Solutions

Base has become a popular layer2 solution as a result of its low transaction fees and fast speed compared to competitors. Stripe’s users will have access to the developer-friendly infrastructure with all its benefits. 

Crypto is the future of money because it is unrestricted by international borders or banking hours, and reduces both friction and fees for users. These three integrations lay a strong foundation for Stripe and Coinbase to begin building better payment futures for users around the world,” the statement read.
