Stripe Enhances Crypto Access Across Europe

Stripe has extended its cryptocurrency purchasing capabilities throughout Europe, enabling customers to buy Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other cryptocurrencies using credit or debit cards.

This expansion includes a new widget for online merchants, simplifying transactions, disputes, and regulatory compliance such as KYC requirements.

John Egan, Stripe’s crypto head, emphasized that the update empowers European consumers with easier access to cryptocurrencies through streamlined purchasing options.

This move follows Stripe’s recent support for stablecoin payments, facilitating instant conversion into major fiat currencies upon transaction settlement.
