According to YC partner Nemil Dalal, the accelerator will distribute stablecoin funding across major blockchain networks including Ethereum, Base, and Solana, giving founders flexibility in how they receive and manage their capital.

The move comes as stablecoins have emerged as a practical use case for cryptocurrency, offering the programmability and global accessibility of blockchain with the stability of dollar-pegged assets. For international founders, stablecoin payments can simplify cross-border transactions and reduce banking friction.

YC decision to embrace stablecoins signals growing mainstream acceptance of crypto infrastructure for traditional business purposes beyond speculation.
