Foreign media: Stripe now supports European market users to purchase cryptocurrencies through its issued cards

Financial services provider Stripe has expanded its cryptocurrency integration to the European market, allowing local customers to buy cryptocurrencies with credit or debit cards. Shoppers within the European Union can now buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other cryptocurrencies with cards issued by Stripe, the Irish Independent reported July 16. Stripe said online vendors can add a “widget” for cryptocurrency purchases to their websites, which will handle the fees, disputes, and KYC regulatory requirements associated with online cryptocurrency transactions. Stripe’s head of crypto John Egan said the expansion enables crypto companies to help European consumers “buy crypto quickly and easily.” (Cointelegraph)
