According to Phantom (@phantom), users can now connect their Phantom wallet to make USDC payments on the Base network at select Shopify stores. This integration, powered by Stripe, is expected to roll out to millions of retailers soon. The development marks a significant step for stablecoin (USDC) adoption and mainstream crypto usage, potentially increasing transaction volumes and liquidity on Base. Traders should monitor USDC, BASE, and related ecosystem tokens for increased activity and adoption signals as more retail transactions move on-chain (source: Phantom Twitter, June 12, 2025).
