Coinbase has partnered with Stripe to increase acceptance of digital assets and improve financial services.
The partnership will allow the two companies to integrate their financial infrastructure, promoting faster and more accessible transactions. With the increased adoption of cryptocurrencies, such collaborations are becoming more common.
Coinbase announced the partnership on June 27, highlighting how it will increase Web3 adoption and streamline systems. The integration will allow users to benefit from faster and cheaper money transfers.
Stripe will include support for Base in its suite of crypto products, and Coinbase will implement Stripe’s system into Coinbase Wallet, allowing instant cryptocurrency purchases with credit cards and Apple Pay.
The collaboration focuses on three key areas to drive global business development. Stripe will upload USDC to Base, facilitating faster and cheaper transactions across 150 countries.
Base, known for its low transaction fees and high speed, will be used by Stripe for its developer-friendly infrastructure. This integration is expected to lay the foundation for better payment solutions globally. The collaboration underscores the belief that cryptocurrencies represent the future of money by removing international barriers and reducing costs for consumers.
