SpaceX has successfully expanded its Starlink service globally, making it a key revenue source. However, the company encountered significant obstacles in accepting payments from developing markets due to unreliable banking infrastructure. To overcome these issues, SpaceX partnered with Bridge, a stablecoin payment platform, to facilitate quicker transactions in various currencies. This collaboration not only provided a solution for financial bottlenecks in those regions but also attracted Stripe's attention, resulting in Bridge's acquisition. The increasing use of stablecoins in developing countries highlights their necessity for enhanced transaction efficiency.
The rise of stablecoins—now a $205 billion market—is driven by real-world utility, not speculation, particularly in emerging markets where the most compelling use cases unfold.
SpaceX turned to stablecoins, a fast-growing method for cross-border payments, partnering with Bridge to accept payments in various currencies and convert them to stablecoins.
