On February 25, Stripe published its 2025 open letter, stating that despite a sharp decline in Bitcoin prices in 2025, stablecoin payment volume doubled to approximately $400 billion (with 60% being B2B). The stablecoin platform Bridge, acquired by Stripe, saw transaction volume grow more than fourfold. Through acquisitions and the launch of Tempo, Stripe continues to increase adoption of stablecoins, viewing them as a core driver of future monetary flow. Additionally, Stripe noted that in 2025, agentic commerce (AI-powered commerce) entered a phase of real-world experimentation and development. Stripe is collaborating with OpenAI to develop the open standard Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), aimed at establishing a shared technical language between AI platforms and merchants to support programmatic commerce flows and Instant Checkout, and has launched the Agentic Commerce Suite. Stripe describes these as infrastructure with “intergenerational impact potential,” emphasizing that universal interoperability and open design are key to success.
