San Francisco, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stripe and Plasma today announced a collaboration to launch multi-currency stablecoin cards, making it easier for people and businesses to spend across currencies and markets.

Built in close partnership with Plasma as a design partner, the aim is to make everyday spending simpler. Cardholders will be able to use the currencies they already hold, reduce unnecessary conversions and FX costs, and spend abroad as easily as they spend at home.

Plasma is building the financial account for people whose lives span countries, assets and businesses, starting with everyday spending. As a design partner, Plasma will work with Stripe to shape a multi-currency card experience around how these customers manage and use their money across borders.

“We’re building Plasma for people whose lives and finances span countries. Partnering with Stripe gives us the opportunity to develop multi-currency cards around how those people actually live and spend, with a simple ambition: spend like a local, anywhere.”- Paul Faecks, CEO of Plasma

“Stablecoins make it possible to hold and move money globally. We’re working with Plasma to bring that same flexibility to spending, giving businesses the infrastructure to offer cards across currencies and markets without having to build it themselves.” – Henri Stern, Head of Stripe Crypto and Cofounder & CEO of Privy

Stripe is expanding its stablecoin card infrastructure to support more currencies and stablecoins, giving businesses greater flexibility to build card products for customers operating across markets. The expanded capabilities will support:

Fiat currencies: USD, BRL, EUR, MXN, and COP
Stablecoins: OUSD and eligible GENIUS-ready stablecoins
Markets: Available in 30+ countries today, with plans to expand to 100+ countries in 2027

A cardholder holding euros, for example, will be able to spend directly in euros without converting through dollars first. Businesses operating across markets can issue cards denominated in currencies that match their spending needs, helping reduce unnecessary FX costs.

The launch marks the first step toward a broader multi-currency experience. Stripe and Plasma are toward enabling cardholders to spend across multiple balances, with the appropriate currency selected automatically at the point of purchase.

The partnership brings Stripe’s fiat and crypto infrastructure and Plasma’s product together to develop a card experience around how people live and spend across countries.

With multi-currency support, people and businesses will be able to spend with stablecoin-backed cards across more currencies and markets.
