Stripe Expands Stablecoin Offerings and Deepens AI Billing Integration
Stripe has announced new initiatives aimed at expanding its financial infrastructure capabilities, including the launch of multicurrency cards backed by stablecoins. The move, made in collaboration with companies like Ramp, Squads, and Airtm, will allow businesses across various countries to operate in the same currency for the first time, according to the companies involved. This development comes shortly after Stripe’s acquisition of stablecoin platform Bridge, which was completed just three months ago.
Generalised AI models and billing momentum
Will Gaybrick, Stripe’s president of product and business, explained that Stripe’s approach to fraud prevention relies on self-supervised learning, enabling its model to identify its own features. He emphasised that generalised models consistently outperform more targeted systems, especially in adapting to evolving fraud patterns.
The company also revealed its growing reach in the AI sector, naming several companies — including OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Perplexity, Windsurf, and ElevenLabs — that now use its billing products. Stripe further shared that Nvidia recently migrated its entire subscriber base to Stripe Billing within six weeks, a transition Stripe described as its fastest-ever.

Platform enhancements across payments, risk, and global expansion
Stripe introduced Orchestration, a tool to help businesses manage multiple payment providers directly from its dashboard, even if Stripe isn’t their processor. It also added support for 25 new payment methods, such as UPI and PIX, raising the total number it supports to over 125. Stripe Tax has expanded to 102 countries, up from 57 last year, with full automation across the tax lifecycle.
New tools like Smart Disputes use AI to streamline dispute resolution, while the Managed Payments solution offers a merchant-of-record model to handle taxes, fraud, and compliance for companies entering new markets.
The company also launched Global Payouts, enabling businesses to make payments to individuals worldwide using only an email address. Lastly, Stripe Terminal will now work with third-party hardware, starting with Verifone, and Klarna is expected to join Stripe’s Link platform this summer.
