It solves a problem for Stripe : potentially evading some incoming regulations in payments in the UK/EU (and U.S probably).

Regulations in payments tend to be very technical, and inserting some crypto/distributed plausible deniability in the mix could get them 5 more years of delay (until the next generation of regulations). It will depend on how those regulations take shape in the coming months.
