MARICOPA, Ariz. - eTradeWire -- Transfers42, powered by Little 6 Industries LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), announces the addition of USDC (USD Coin) as an accepted payment method at checkout. The move positions the small custom printing business among the early adopters of stablecoin payments, a category currently used by only 4% of top U.S. merchants.

USDC is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, issued by Circle, and processed through Shopify's partnership with Coinbase and Stripe. Customers can now pay for DTF transfers, custom stickers, and custom apparel decoration using USDC from any of 480 supported crypto wallets.

"We're a small business run by a service-disabled veteran. We don't chase trends," said Matt Harvey, owner of Little 6 Industries. "But when a payment method costs us nothing, gives us a rebate, and might make ordering easier for even one customer, we're for it."

The integration requires no separate crypto gateway. Transfers42 receives payments in USD by default through Shopify Payments, with the option to receive USDC directly. Customers benefit from zero gas fees, zero foreign exchange fees on international orders, and potential future cashback (Shopify has announced plans to offer 1% cashback to USDC-paying customers later in 2026).

Little 6 Industries also receives a 0.50% merchant rebate on USDC transactions through Shopify's incentive program.

"Small businesses that adopt early are ahead of the curve," Harvey said. "We've always used AI tools, published regular blog content, and tested new equipment. Adding a modern payment method fits that same philosophy."

The move reflects broader industry trends. USDC merchant payment volume grew 337% between 2024 and the first half of 2025. Total stablecoin transaction volume exceeded $31.6 trillion in 2025.
