About the company
Stripe builds payment software that businesses of all sizes plug into their websites and apps to accept money online and in person. After its public launch in 2011, it won over internet startups by letting developers start taking payments with a few lines of code. Businesses use it to take cards and digital wallets, block fraud, bill subscriptions, and pay out sellers on online marketplaces, while Stripe earns a fee on each payment plus charges for add-on tools. Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison founded Stripe in 2010, and it is based in South San Francisco, California, and Dublin, Ireland. In 2016, John Collison, then 26, became the world's youngest self-made billionaire.

Ripple is bringing wallet technology from Stripe-owned Privy to the XRP Ledger, letting apps and AI agents hold funds and make payments without anyone managing keys. Developers can build wallets inside their products to authorise transfers in XRP, Ripple's dollar-pegged RLUSD stablecoin, and other assets issued on the network. Users never touch a secret key, though Privy supports exporting keys or a recovery phrase. Companies can give AI agents funded wallets on their own servers to pay for online services through x402, a standard for buying access to data. Policy controls and fee-covering tools are still to come. RippleX's head of engineering, J. Ayo Akinyele, said the network has processed more than 13 million agent payments through x402, roughly 25% of ledger activity. Those payments carried only about $22,000 in total. XRP trades at $1.3675, giving it a market cap of $86.269 billion.
Stripe is a technology company that builds economic infrastructure for the internet. Businesses of every size – from new startups to public companies – use Stripe’s software to accept payments and manage their businesses online.
