Geneva, Switzerland, May 23, 2025 –  TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), has announced the expansion of a strategic integration from Bridge, a leading stablecoin orchestration platform and a Stripe company. This development further solidifies TRON’s role as a preferred settlement layer for stablecoins, driven by its scalability, affordability, and consistent network performance.

 The TRON network has established itself as a dominant force in the greater blockchain landscape, hosting nearly one-third of the global stablecoin supply, including over $77 billion in USDT—more than half of its total circulation. USDT on TRON has demonstrated consistent growth as demand for fast and secure digital dollar infrastructure increases globally. The network also processes a daily average of $20 billion in USDT transfers and leads in active user engagement, with over 2.5 million daily active users. 

Bridge serves hundreds of developers in emerging markets who rely on TRON to execute payments and get access to US dollars and treasuries through stablecoins. The expanded support of Bridge’s cross-border API further enhances the scale, speed, and efficiency for developers to support stablecoin transactions on TRON.

“Whether developers are scaling payment applications or fine-tuning DeFi projects, these updates unlock new possibilities,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for TRON DAO. “Strengthening our integration is more than just a routine improvement, we’re giving developers the flexibility to build without limits and creating pathways for innovation.”

Several infrastructure and developer-focused enhancements aimed at streamlining stablecoin payments will be introduced as part of the integration’s expansion:

• End-to-end USDT.trx support across payment routes: Bridge now offers full interoperability for USDT.trx across all current and future payment routes, allowing developers to enable seamless cross-chain movement of stablecoins for both businesses and users.
• Fiat on/off-ramps for USDT.trx: Developers can now integrate direct fiat conversions for USDT.trx, bridging the gap between crypto and everyday spending.
• Memoless wallet support: Transactions on TRON no longer require memos, enabling broader wallet compatibility and simplifying the onramp experience for users.
• Native infrastructure for deposits and withdrawals: TRON is the first blockchain supported by Bridge’s proprietary deposit and withdrawal infrastructure. This will facilitate unlimited deposit addresses and increase the overall speed, reliability, and performance on TRON. 

These feature enhancements will allow both TRON and Bridge to better serve the growing ecosystem of developers building financial applications in emerging markets. With improved wallet infrastructure, smoother cross-chain transfers, and native fiat on/off-ramps, developers can create fast and seamless payment experiences on one of the most dominant networks for stablecoins.

Stripe unveiled a new AI foundation model for payments and expanded support for stablecoins and embedded finance.

The firm made the announcement at its annual Sessions conference, where it introduced more than 60 product updates. The enhanced stablecoin integration comes more than six months after the firm acquired Bridge for $1.1 billion.

AI foundation model

Stripe introduced the world’s first foundation model for payments, trained on tens of billions of transaction data points. The model dramatically improved fraud detection, increasing accuracy for card-testing attack detection from 59% to 97% among large users.

Stripe also launched Orchestration, a tool allowing businesses to manage multiple payment processors from a single Stripe interface.

The Optimized Checkout Suite also saw major upgrades. It now incorporates over 100 real-time signals to personalize checkout, support for over 125 global payment methods, and one-click Klarna integration via Link.

Additionally, Stripe revealed Authorization Boost, a new AI tool that improves transaction success by dynamically updating cards and retrying failed payments. It also teased the upcoming launch of Smart Disputes, which will automate chargeback responses with dispute-specific evidence.

Stablecoin accounts and global payouts

Stripe deepened its push into stablecoins and digital assets with the announcement of Stablecoin Financial Accounts.

These accounts will allow users in over 100 countries to hold, send, and receive stablecoin balances using both fiat and crypto rails. The company also plans to launch a USDC-denominated Visa card, enabling real-time crypto-linked spending.

Additionally, in a move targeting embedded finance providers, the firm introduced expanded functionality for capital, letting platforms extend financing to users beyond Stripe’s ecosystem through third-party data integrations.

Meanwhile, updates to Issuing allow for the creation of complex rules and increased program flexibility, including support for consumer credit cards.

Stripe’s Money Management updates enable businesses to store, convert, and move money across currencies and borders, with expanded global payouts in 58 countries using only an email address.

Additional upgrades include real-time revenue recognition, localized pricing APIs, and upcoming features like Stripe Profiles and Stripe Verified, reinforcing Stripe’s position as a financial backbone for internet businesses.

Stripe is preparing to test new Stablecoin Payments products for businesses outside the US, UK and the European Union.

The company’s CEO, Patrick Collison, confirmed on social media that Stripe has been planning the service for nearly a decade and is open to pilot users.

The announcement comes after Stripe received regulatory approval to acquire Bridge, a payment platform founded by former Coinbase executives Zach Abrams and Sean Yu. Bridge’s infrastructure provides an alternative to traditional systems such as Swift for cross-border transactions.

Stripe’s Stablecoin Pilot Project comes as companies ranging from crypto companies to Tradfi Bank are piled up into the industry and trying to grab a part of the red-hot sector. In fact, Citi said that stubcoin could be a “chat” moment of blockchain adoption, and that markets, which are primarily locked in the US dollar, could grow to as much as $3.7 trillion by 2030 with regulatory support.

Stripes have a long history with cryptography. It was the first major payment processor to support Bitcoin payments in 2014, but later removed the features more than BTC’s slow transaction speed and fees.
