Global payments giant Stripe is doubling down on crypto, introducing a service that allows businesses to create and manage stablecoins in just days.

Stripe has <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://stripe.com/en-br/newsroom/news/tour-newyork-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">unveiled</a> Open Issuance, a new crypto tool designed to let companies launch and operate their own stablecoins with minimal coding. The service enables businesses to mint and burn tokens, tailor reserve structures between cash and treasuries, and choose preferred asset management partners.
<blockquote>
 “Businesses can build on top of stablecoins that they customize and control, so that the benefits of this important technology flow directly to the people and businesses using them.”

The infrastructure is powered by Bridge, a stablecoin-focused firm Stripe <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/10/stripe-acquires-stablecoin-platform-bridge-for-1-1-billion/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">acquired</a> in October 2024 for $1.1 billion. Reserves will be managed in partnership with BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, and Superstate, ensuring institutional-grade backing.
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-regulatory-push-and-market-outlook-span">Regulatory push and market outlook</h3>
The announcement comes as the stablecoin sector flourishes under the Trump administration, following the passage of the GENIUS Act in July. The market has already ballooned to $300 billion, with the U.S. Treasury projecting growth to $2 trillion by 2028.
Reports also suggest Stripe is seeking a federal banking charter and a New York trust license to meet evolving U.S. regulatory standards.

Stripe’s stablecoin push aligns with a broader industry shift. On Monday, Binance launched a crypto-as-a-service platform for banks and brokerages, while Coinbase rolled out a similar service in June. These offerings aim to help traditional institutions integrate crypto without building systems from scratch.
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-linking-stablecoins-to-ai-driven-commerce-span">Linking stablecoins to AI-driven commerce</h3>
Beyond payments, Stripe is also exploring AI-driven e-commerce. The company announced the Agentic Commerce Protocol, developed with OpenAI, to enable businesses to sell through AI agents while maintaining brand control.
The move echoes Circle’s partnership with Crossmint to expand USDC rails for AI-powered payments and reflects predictions by Coinbase developers that AI agents will become Ethereum’s largest onchain users in the future.
