Stripe And Twitter Enables Crypto Payouts For Creators
Yesterday, Online payments company Stripe Inc announced its plans to enable businesses to pay users in digital currencies via a pilot through Stripe’s Connect service. Twitter is the first partner of the company, and the payments will first start with USD coin (USDC) payments. Additionally, a specific amount of selected Crypto users will be paid in USDC if they obtain earnings from Twitter services like Super Follows and Ticketed Spaces.
As per the blog post, “with crypto payouts for Connect, Twitter will make it possible for creators who opt in to have their earnings paid out to a cryptocurrency wallet.” It further stated that “Stripe will handle all crypto-related complexity and operations. No code changes are required, and platforms can avoid taking on the challenges of acquiring, storing, or transferring crypto themselves.”
Back in September 2021, Twitter introduced the Crypto tipping feature. Stripe states that the initial Crypto support will be USDC, and its transfers will be executed via the Polygon network.
The blog post said, “[Users] can hold their balance on Polygon, or choose to bridge to Ethereum and exchange it into another currency. We plan to add support for additional rails and payout currencies over time.”
Stripe will soon share this new feature with other partners. The company has released an integration guide, and interested users can request access to the beta program. “We’re excited about what this represents and about the potential for cryptocurrencies to help solve real-world problems, especially outside of major markets.” By the end of the year, [Stripe] plans to support crypto payouts in more than 120 countries.”
