Stripe has rolled out a public preview letting US businesses send stablecoin payouts straight to external crypto wallets in more than 160 markets, according to Crypto Briefing. The outlet reports the feature, part of Stripe's Global Payouts product, supports two dollar-pegged stablecoins — USDC and OUSD — with funds typically arriving within minutes.
Per the report, USDC payouts run across networks including Arbitrum, Avalanche and Ethereum, while OUSD payouts are supported on Base and Ethereum. Businesses can fund the payouts using USD or USDC balances held in Stripe Treasury, Crypto Briefing states. Every eligible US business gets access on day one, with the exception of companies based in New York, which are being offered a waitlist instead, according to the report.
Crypto Briefing also notes that in late October 2026, shortly before this wallet capability launched, Stripe introduced bank payout options converting stablecoins into local fiat across nine currencies. The outlet adds that Stripe resumed support for USDC payments for US businesses in 2024 and made strategic acquisitions in 2025 to strengthen its stablecoin infrastructure, though details of those acquisitions were not specified in the report.
The report does not say which additional blockchain networks beyond Arbitrum, Avalanche and Ethereum support USDC payouts, nor when New York businesses might gain full access. It also does not address whether other states face similar restrictions.
