Can I book hotels worldwide with stablecoins, or only in certain countries?

In short

• Yes. You can book any of trip1's 3 million+ hotels in 190+ countries using USDC.
• Stablecoin payments aren't restricted by your location or the hotel's region. The hotel always receives fiat currency through CoinGate.
• A few jurisdictions restrict crypto payments at the local level - check your country's rules before booking from a restricted region.

Stablecoin payments are global

USDC is supported on trip1 worldwide. Whether you're booking a beach resort in Thailand, a city hotel in Berlin, or a lodge in Patagonia, the same checkout flow and the same supported networks apply.

trip1 lists hotels across all major travel regions: Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania. Stablecoin payments work for all of them.

How conversion works behind the scenes

Hotels never see stablecoins. CoinGate, trip1's MiCA-licensed payment provider, converts your USDC payment into the local fiat currency the hotel expects. The hotel sees a standard prepaid reservation.

That's why hotel availability and policies don't change based on payment method. The same room at the same rate is bookable whether you pay with crypto or another supported method.

Local rules to be aware of

A small number of countries restrict crypto payments under their own laws. If you're located in one of those jurisdictions, you may not be able to complete a stablecoin payment to trip1 from a local wallet or exchange.

trip1 follows EU regulations and international compliance standards. If your booking can't be completed with crypto, the booking flow will let you know before you commit.
