“ Crypto is finally at a stage where it is fast, low-cost, secure and built for scale”

This testnet phase will determine how KlarnaUSD performs before Klarna opens it up to merchants and customers.
Klarna and Stripe have worked together since 2021, when they struck a deal to handle payment processing across Klarna’ s markets. That relationship has deepened over time, bringing Klarna’ s instalment payment services to merchants in 25 countries through Stripe’ s infrastructure.
Merchants using Stripe can now offer Klarna’ s payment options without building separate integrations and the two companies handle payment processing across all 26 of Klarna’ s operating markets.
The stablecoin project extends this partnership into blockchain territory, with Klarna choosing Stripe’ s platform over other options as its entry point into cryptocurrency markets.
