We're building the best stablecoin-backed card issuance platform in partnership with our friends at @Visa. Today we take one more step in that direction by launching the @Lightspark Cards Playground that allows you to design your card program. Try here: docs.lightspark.com/cards/de…

I’m leaving stripe to run Open Standard full time. at bridge, we made stablecoins more accessible. but our impact was constrained by issuers' economics and incentives. The world needs better money. we hope to remove these constraints.

3/3 Agentic commerce is more than a technology play. It’s a trust play. The future of commerce will depend on merchants being ready for agents and knowing which ones to trust. Find out how you score. Explore: visapaymentsfrontier.io/

Delighted to partner with Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, Cloudflare, Google, and many others, to introduce Open Standard, a new stablecoin designed for scale: joinopenstandard.com.

Today we announced Open USD together with Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, BlackRock, BBVA, Shopify, DoorDash, and 140+ other partners. Much like the mobile industry needed Android, financial services needs Open USD to scale stablecoin adoption. The stablecoin space has come a long way since we started Bridge nearly 5 years ago. Total volume is now approaching that of the ACH network and nearly every major financial institution from banks to fintechs is leaning in. But cost and governance have limited utility and put core payments use cases out of reach. Businesses need a stablecoin that's open, low-cost, high-throughput, broadly accessible, and aligned to their interests. We'll be launching later this year.

@Visa and @Brale announced our collaboration to explore SBC stablecoin settlement yesterday. While working on the Brale side, the focus was not only on stablecoins, but on scaling payments: settlement, privacy, and operational resilience. Thanks to @cuysheffield and Pete Wexler for the partnership! businesswire.com/news/home/2…

AI agents can now pay securely with @Visa cards. Today we launched the Agentic Cards API, built using @Visa Intelligent Commerce and @basistheory. 🧵

Visa is for vibe coders. Anyone can spin up an app and any API can become a merchant. Starting today we’re onboarding x402 and MPP merchant endpoints into Visa CLI so APIs, LLMs, data products, and dev tools can be discovered and purchased by verified agents with cards on file. If you’re building an x402 or MPP endpoint, or want Visa to help you stand one up, sign up below. We’re also opening Visa CLI to initial users in the US. DM me for an invite.

Thrilled to partner with Visa to invent the future of agentic payments. Visa is a large Replit enterprise customer where 1,000+ employees use Replit, and they’re also a strategic investor in Replit. Today we’re expanding this partnership to R&D to make it seamless for developers to move money with agents. At Replit we’ve been obsessed with programmable value for years and ran a few experiments on how to integrate payments deeply into the modern coding and AI stack, but it was too early. Partnering with Visa will give us the opportunity to deliver on this dream.

Stablecoins are moving from idea to infrastructure—powering real settlement. Visa has hit a $7B annualized run rate, + 50% QoQ. We have expanded our global stablecoin settlement program to @Arc, @Base, @CantonNetwork, @0xPolygon and @Tempo, bringing us to nine chains. Stablecoins are multi‑chain. Settlement has to be seamless across it.

Today @stripe, @visa and @ZodiaCustody by Standard Chartered have joined as validators on Tempo. These organizations collectively process trillions of dollars in payments every year across nearly every country in the world. As some of the largest institutions in global payments, they maintain infrastructure at massive scale and have deep experience with the reliability and uptime standards that payments demand, bringing that same technical excellence to validate the Tempo network. We'll continue expanding the validator set with additional partners on our path to permissionless validation.

Excited for Visa to partner with @Nevermined_ai to enable agents to make secure card payments over x402

Visa CLI by @cuysheffield and team is an amazing prototype for agentic commerce. Today I generated a full website + image menu for "Trattoria Cosmica" - a fictional Italian restaurant in outer space. The workflow was super smooth: 1. Download MCP and Sign-in using Github OAuth and add my Visa credit card 2. Ask the MCP what were the tasks it could do - gives you a list like imagegen, music gen, data queries etc. and associated cost. I tested out 3. Describe the entire website, specify my budget ($0.40), and ask it to generate 10 images of different menu items. Claude writes the prompts for the image endpoints, and weaves them into a website 4. Payments happen over MPP with my fingerprint auth, without me needing to manage a wallet at all. The transactions simply rack up on my Visa card. What's cool is that the entire site - concept, image-gen, code, payment-auth, deployment happened in one conversation, rather than requiring separate API haggling + wallet management (unlike other SDKs I've tried). And the CLI will likely be compatible with any MPP or x402 endpoint - even as everything is abstracted behind the interface of my credit card. Super neat! Website link below.
