**[Stripe Annual Open Letter: Stablecoin Payment Volume Doubles, AI Agentic Commerce Enters Real Experimentation and Development Phase]** BlockBeats News, February 25 – Stripe released its 2025 annual open letter, stating that despite a significant drop in Bitcoin prices in 2025, stablecoin payment volume doubled to approximately $400 billion (60% of which was B2B). The transaction volume of Bridge, the stablecoin platform acquired by Stripe, grew more than fourfold. Through acquisitions and the launch of Tempo, Stripe continues to strengthen its commitment to stablecoin adoption, viewing it as a core driver of future monetary flows. Additionally, Stripe noted that in 2025, agentic commerce (AI agentic commerce) entered the real experimentation and development phase. Stripe, in collaboration with OpenAI, jointly developed 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. Stripe also launched the Agentic Commerce Suite. Stripe described these as foundational infrastructures with "intergenerational impact potential," emphasizing that universal interoperability and open design are key to success.
