Stripe announced on October 15, 2026, that it was adding multi-currency capabilities to its stablecoin card infrastructure, with Plasma as a primary design partner. The expansion supports spending in US dollars, euros, Brazilian reais, Mexican pesos and Colombian pesos. It also supports Open USD and payment stablecoins meeting the regulatory criteria of the US GENIUS Act. The change is intended to let cardholders use non-dollar balances, including euros, for local-currency transactions without first converting them into US dollars. Stripe’s card infrastructure is powered substantially by Bridge, which it acquired in 2024. Stripe and Plasma are developing automated routing that would select a fiat or stablecoin balance at the point of sale, but that feature remains in development. The companies aim to extend the infrastructure from more than 30 countries currently supported to more than 100 by 2027. Those expansion and routing targets are plans, not capabilities available today.
