Stripe Unveils Tool to Launch Stablecoins With Just a Few Lines of Code

**Stripe Enters Stablecoin Game**
Stripe rolled out “Open Issuance,” a tool that lets companies create stablecoins in days. All it takes is a few lines of code. Businesses can mint and burn tokens while tailoring reserves between cash and bonds.

**Who’s Backing the System?**
The engine runs on Bridge, a startup Stripe bought for $1.1 billion. BlackRock, Fidelity, and Superstate will handle treasuries. This setup promises serious firepower in the stablecoin race.

**Market Context**
Stablecoins are booming. The sector is worth $300 billion today, and the US Treasury thinks it will reach $2 trillion by 2028. Trump’s GENIUS Act gave the green light, fueling Wall Street’s appetite. Stripe is also chasing a banking charter to comply with new rules.

**Crypto-as-a-Service Trend**
Stripe isn’t alone. Binance now offers crypto services for banks and brokers. Coinbase joined in June. Stripe’s angle: fewer risks, faster launches, and new ways for companies to reward customers. It’s fintech meets stablecoin with a side of AI-powered e-commerce.
