The operator of the cryptocurrency payment system BitPay, which allows merchants from more than 38 countries to accept payment in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, will take measures to protect its customers from the volatility of these digital assets
In their blog, company representatives indicated that merchants from countries that do not have a direct cryptocurrency-to-fiat conversion service can now accept payment in cryptocurrency and immediately convert it into dollars from Gemini or Circle.

At the same time, USDC has the backing of Goldman Sachs, and is also being promoted as a new form of money.

Individuals and institutions can use this service to withdraw US dollars from bank accounts and convert them into tokens that can be used anywhere there is internet access.
