Which Companies Accept Stablecoin Payments?

Stablecoins are not just tools for crypto traders – they’re starting to show up at the checkout line. While dozens of companies claim to accept crypto, very few major brands enable customers to pay directly with stablecoins, like USDC (USDC -0.00%) or USDT (USDT -0.04%).

The Motley Fool has tracked down five well-known companies that let consumers actually spend stablecoins, not just to buy gift cards or load third-party wallets but to purchase actual goods and services, with payments processed on-chain.

1. AMC Theatres

AMC (AMC +4.00%) allows customers to pay for tickets and concessions with five USD-pegged stablecoins in addition to select cryptocurrencies via BitPay. AMC CEO Adam Aron said in 2021 that the cryptocurrencies they accepted at that time made up 14% of their online transactions.

2. Gucci

In 2022, Gucci announced that it would accept select stablecoins and other cryptocurrencies at its stores in the United States.

3. Newegg Commerce

Newegg Commerce (NEGG -2.32%), an online computer hardware and consumer electronics retailer, accepts a number of coins through BitPay, including four stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar -- USDC, BUSD, PAX, and GUSD -- in addition to Dai, XRT, Tether, and Gemini Dollar.

4. Regal Cinemas

Regal Cinemas started accepting USDC in December 2024 via Coinbase (COIN -7.46%) Wallet and Flexa. It ran a limited-time 10% discount on tickets and concessions purchased with USDC through January 6, 2025.

5. Shopify

In 2025, Shopify (SHOP -4.22%) announced a partnership with Coinbase and Stripe to let merchants accept USDC stablecoin payments through Shopify Payments. The feature is in early access and operates via the Base blockchain network with no foreign transaction or exchange fees. Merchants can choose to receive payments in USDC or their local currency.

Stablecoins at checkout: early but gaining steam

While most retailers don’t accept stablecoins directly, these new forms of payment are slowly making their way into the mainstream.

Shopify’s partnership with Stripe and Coinbase is especially notable. It opens the door for thousands of merchants worldwide to accept USDC directly with no foreign-exchange fees. That’s one of the biggest signals that stablecoin payments might be on the verge of graduating from experiment to infrastructure.
