Stripe disclosed in its annual letter that the Bitcoin price fell about 50% from its October peak in 2025. According to reports, the scale of stablecoin payments doubled year-on-year to approximately $400 billion, with about 60% being B2B payments. The stablecoin orchestration platform Bridge acquired by Stripe saw transaction volume increase more than fourfold year-on-year. Stripe stated that as real-world applications expand, the use of stablecoins is gradually diverging from the price cycles of crypto assets.
