>this feature is doing people living in countries which cannot otherwise receive Stripe payouts a favor.

And then what do they do with their USDC? Sell it for USD?

Yes, in many places where local conversion of USDC to USD or some other fiat currency is possible, but international Stripe payouts through the banking system are not.

Wouldn't Stripe's efforts be better used in making payouts available in more countries then?

Also, what are the geos where all 3 are true:

1) Stripe can't payout in USD 2) Strip can payout in USDC 3) USDC to USD (or any fiat) conversion is freely allowed
