- Stripe launches Open Issuance to let businesses create their own stablecoins in days.
- New tools prepare businesses for agentic commerce and AI-driven payments.
- Over 40 new products announced at Stripe Tour New York showcase.
NEW YORK – Stripe introduced a wide range of products aimed at helping businesses grow with stablecoins and artificial intelligence. The announcements came during Stripe Tour New York, the company’s annual product showcase, where it revealed more than 40 new features and tools.
The key highlight was Open Issuance, a platform that allows companies to create their own stablecoins with minimal technical effort. Alongside this, Stripe rolled out new solutions for agentic commerce, enabling transactions to happen directly through AI tools and agents.
These moves mark Stripe’s push to position itself as a bridge between frontier technology and mainstream business use. Stablecoins have grown rapidly, with global supply climbing more than 50% in the past year.
Many businesses use stablecoins today but remain dependent on coins issued by third parties. This setup often limits benefits such as yield and flexibility. Open Issuance changes that model.
Stripe Builds Stablecoin Platform on Bridge Acquisition
Built on Bridge, a stablecoin infrastructure company Stripe acquired earlier this year, the platform lets businesses mint, burn, and manage stablecoins while customizing reserves. Companies can choose their mix of cash and treasuries, supported by partners like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Superstate.
Liquidity is maintained through Lead Bank and integration with other Open Issuance coins. Businesses also earn rewards from originating their own stablecoins, creating new ways to strengthen customer loyalty. Early adopters include Phantom, which launched CASH, and platforms like Metamask and Hyperliquid, which will issue stablecoins through the system soon.
Stripe further expanded its stablecoin offerings with recurring payments, default support in its Optimized Checkout Suite, and tools for U.S. businesses to hold, spend, and transfer stablecoins seamlessly.
AI adoption is transforming how people search, shop, and transact. Stripe announced the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), developed in collaboration with OpenAI. ACP allows AI agents to interact with merchants directly while maintaining brand and service control.
Businesses Prepare for AI-Driven Purchases through ACP
This new standard already supports Instant Checkout in ChatGPT and is being tested with partners such as Microsoft Copilot, Anthropic, and Perplexity. Businesses integrating ACP can prepare for a future where customers complete purchases entirely through AI-driven interactions.
Stripe also introduced monetization tools for AI companies. These include hybrid billing models, APIs to track inference costs in real time, and fraud protection upgrades in Stripe Radar to stop abuse of free trials. Beyond stablecoins and AI, Stripe delivered more than 40 updates across payments, revenue management, and embedded finance.
Enhancements include new app-to-web payment flows, expanded tax support in over 100 countries, and the global rollout of Stripe Reader S710 with cellular connectivity. By combining stablecoin infrastructure, AI commerce tools, and financial services, Stripe aims to prepare businesses for the next wave of digital transformation.
