Stripe Goes on the Offensive! Pushes AI and Stablecoins to Transform Digital Finance in 2025

Key Highlights from Stripe

• Introducing the World’s First AI Foundation Model for Payments

Stripe developed an AI Foundation Model trained on tens of billions of global transactions. This model can detect complex patterns beyond previous generations—reducing fraud, increasing successful payment rates, and delivering highly personalized customer experiences.

• Revolutionizing Finance with Stablecoin Accounts Available in 101 Countries

Stripe launched stablecoin-based financial accounts, enabling businesses to hold balances in digital assets like USDC and USDB. These accounts accept both traditional (ACH, SEPA) and crypto payments, with global transfer capabilities—ideal for countries with volatile currencies.

Additionally, Stripe partnered with Visa to launch stablecoin-enabled cards that function like cash, accepted at over 150 million Visa-enabled merchants worldwide.

• Manage Multiple Currencies in One Account, Slash FX Fees

  • NVIDIA migrated its GeForce Now membership system to Stripe Billing in record time.

  • PepsiCo modernized its retail payment system using Stripe’s web and app solutions.

  • Introduced a new tool called Orchestration, allowing businesses using multiple payment providers to manage everything from a single dashboard.
