The Irish-American financial services company Stripe is once again making headlines within the sphere of crypto and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The company announced that it now supports crypto businesses including exchanges, on-ramps, wallets, and NFT marketplaces.
The news was tweeted by Stripe’s co-founder John Collison, who also shared the variety of ways the company plans to support Web3 companies using its crypto APIs-the interfaces through which companies connect to Stripe’s platform.
Stripe now supports crypto businesses: exchanges, on-ramps, wallets, and NFT marketplaces. Not just pay-ins but payouts, KYC and identity verification, fraud prevention, and lots more. https://t.co/3X173SkdPd
