Stripe Unveils “Open Issuance” to Let Any Business Launch a Stablecoin

[chainsniff]

Stripe is expanding its crypto footprint with a new tool called Open Issuance, designed to let any business issue and manage its own stablecoin “with just a few lines of code.”

Companies can mint and burn coins, customize reserves between cash and treasuries, and select their preferred partners. The service is powered by Bridge — the $1.1 billion stablecoin infrastructure firm Stripe acquired in 2024 — and reserve assets will be managed by BlackRock, Fidelity and blockchain asset manager Superstate.

Stripe says businesses could launch a stablecoin in days rather than months, eliminating the need to build complex reserve, liquidity and compliance systems in-house.
