Stripe co-founder says stablecoins hit an inflection point in 2026

—Stripe processes over $1.9 trillion in payments annually, about 1.6% of global GDP
—Global stablecoin payment volume doubled to roughly $400 billion in 2025, with 60% B2B
—Volume on Stripe-acquired platform Bridge grew more than fourfold
—Its Link wallet supports AI-agent payments and has over 300 million users

Why it matters: The largest payment processor confirms stablecoins are moving from experiment to working infrastructure for cross-border transfers and AI-agent payments.
