$APT
Payment company Stripe is expanding its cryptocurrency services to the Layer1 blockchain Aptos. Stripe will provide cryptocurrency access services on Aptos, which will help merchants transfer funds between traditional payment systems and the blockchain. Users will be able to convert funds directly to USDC through cryptocurrency wallets enabled by Aptos.
This initiative aims to enhance Aptos's DeFi ecosystem and its global payment solutions, simplifying merchant payments and providing seamless fiat and stablecoin circulation channels. Through this integration, native USDC will be issued directly on the Aptos network through Circle's regulated entity, while the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) will enable developers to design cross-chain experiences by connecting their Aptos applications to supported blockchain networks. This indicates that Stripe is actively expanding its services in the cryptocurrency space and collaborating with the Aptos blockchain to provide more efficient and convenient global fund flow solutions.
