Stripe has established a closed-loop architecture of "three layers of self-built infrastructure + external ecosystem" in the cryptocurrency sector, encompassing infrastructure, on-chain settlement, and a broad platform for partnerships. The launch of the Tempo mainnet and the introduction of the machine payment protocol mark a shift in its strategy from merchant acceptance of stablecoins toward AI-driven capital flows. This move aims to enhance transparency and market trust for crypto projects.

ChainCatcher News, the Web3 asset data platform RootData recently organized Stripe’s partner network in the cryptocurrency field, presenting a complete ecosystem map from underlying blockchain infrastructure to end-user payment applications.

Structurally, Stripe has formed a closed-loop architecture of “three layers of self-built + external ecosystem”:

The bottom layer consists of its directly controlled crypto infrastructure, including the stablecoin orchestration platform Bridge, which was acquired for $1.1 billion in 2024, the wallet-as-a-service company Privy, and the payment-specific public chain Tempo, co-incubated with Paradigm;
The middle layer is deeply integrated with mainstream networks like Circle, Coinbase, Polygon, enabling on-chain settlement channels;
The outer ecosystem covers dozens of crypto platforms such as Crypto.com, Blockchain.com, Magic Eden, as well as fintech clients like Félix and Dakota, which use Bridge for low-cost cross-border remittances.

Notably, Tempo mainnet officially launched this month, simultaneously introducing a “machine payment protocol” for AI agents, and hosting the first AI payment hackathon in San Francisco. This marks Stripe’s crypto strategy evolving from “enabling merchants to accept stablecoins” to “allowing AI agents to autonomously control fund flows.”【See Stripe Crypto Partner Network Collection (ongoing updates)】

RootData states it will continue to track and disclose more project business relationships. For crypto projects, proactively showcasing partner and business networks is becoming an important way to enhance transparency and market trust. Web3 project teams are welcome to claim their profiles and join the RootData Alliances Hub TG group to collaboratively maintain business alliance data, match BD partners, and explore ecosystem collaborations!
