💡 Intro
Stripe, one of the largest online payment processors (valued at $70 billion+), launched today a crypto integration with Braintrust. It’s exciting to see once hesitant payment providers like Stripe, continue to integrate crypto into their offerings.
“Building on that success, Braintrust is now adding a powerful new payout option with Stripe Connect: USDC. This means that Singh can choose to be paid in rupees to his Indian bank account, which could take a few days, or in USDC to his crypto wallet, which can take just a few minutes.”
