Stripe Adds Samsung Pay to Crypto Onramp as Apple Scouts Stablecoin Talent

  • —Samsung Pay is now supported in Stripe Crypto Onramp for Android in stripe-react-native v0.75.0
  • —Samsung Pay joins cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and ACH as payment options for crypto purchases
  • —Apple posted a Head of Financial Product Strategy role for Apple Pay on Aug. 26 with stablecoin knowledge preferred
  • —Samsung reportedly plans to add stablecoin support to Samsung Wallet, without naming partners or a timeline
Why it matters: Major payment players are competing for the crypto checkout moment, and wallet makers moving into stablecoins could turn onramp partners into direct competitors.
