  • —Abrams had served as Open Standard's interim CEO since June 2026 while still at Stripe
  • —Stripe acquired Bridge in 2025 for about $1.1 billion
  • —Founding partners include Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, Shopify and Stripe
  • —The project anticipates over $1 billion in launch liquidity for OUSD
