The cards support fiat currencies USD, BRL, EUR, MXN and COP, and stablecoins OUSD and eligible GENIUS-ready stablecoins, and are available in 30+ countries today, according to [GlobeNewswire](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/15/3381757/0/en/stripe-and-plasma-co-develop-a-new-multi-currency-card-experience.html).\n\n## How the Stripe and Plasma Cards Work\n\n[Stripe](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000031/stripe) is expanding its stablecoin card infrastructure to support more currencies and stablecoins, giving businesses flexibility to build card products for customers operating across markets. [Plasma](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00000cm/plasma) is building the financial account for people whose lives span countries, assets and businesses, starting with everyday spending, and its app Plasma One gives users a global dollar account and card for spending, sending and earning.\n\nAs 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. A cardholder holding euros, for example, will be able to spend directly in euros without converting through dollars first, and businesses operating across markets can issue cards denominated in currencies that match their spending needs, helping reduce unnecessary FX costs.\n\n\"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,\" said Paul Faecks, CEO of Plasma.\n\n\"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,\" said Henri Stern, Head of Stripe Crypto and Cofounder & CEO of Privy.\n\n## Stripe's Stablecoin Partnerships\n\nStripe's stablecoin work includes a June 2026 partnership in which MoneyGram launched its MGUSD stablecoin on the Stellar blockchain using Stripe's Bridge platform for issuance, M0 for smart contracts and Fireblocks for wallet security, connecting digital dollars to MoneyGram's network of roughly 500,000 cash-in and cash-out locations globally, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). Circle also published a formal USDC specification for the Machine Payments Protocol developed with Stripe and Tempo, supporting nanopayments as low as $0.000001 per transaction using EIP-3009 batching across EVM-compatible blockchains and Solana, the same records show.\n\n## Earlier Stripe Deals This Month\n\nOn October 6, 2026, Stripe Capital and FedEx announced a long-term collaboration with Stripe Capital using FedEx logistics data to underwrite small-business financing, Finextra reported. Wix.com said on October 15, 2026 that its Symphony AI agents now connect to Stripe's Link wallet to make owner-approved payments, targeting Symphony users with US-based Link accounts and USD transactions, TradingView reported. Stripe, Meta, Walmart and Shopify are also developing protocols for AI agents to shop autonomously, with Stripe Link's agentic purchases surging 38-fold in a month, Crypto Briefing reported on October 6, 2026.\n\n## Plasma's Stablecoin Blockchain\n\nCircle deployed its USDC and EURC stablecoins natively on Plasma, a Layer-1 blockchain for stablecoin transactions, adding support for CCTP and Bridge Kit, Biggo Finance reported on August 29, 2026. Plasma has $2 billion in TVL and over 100 DeFi integrations since its September 2025 mainnet beta, the same report said.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
