Stablecoins, Agents & The Future of Commerce
2025 was the year Stablecoins took web3 into the mainstream. We now have established stablecoins such as USDC and Tether but new entrants from companies like Paypal, Société Générale and even the State of Wyoming. Stripe acquired Bridge and partnered to build Tempo - their L1 Blockchain. 2026 is when stablecoins become part of the traditional financial system.
And then there are agents. Shopify and Google have recently launched the Universal Comerce Protocol (UCP). OpenAI released instant checkout.
The future of commerce is becoming tied to both agents and stablecoins.
But really, what does any of that mean????
