On Tuesday, Sierra announced Personal Agent Protocol with Meta, Genesys, Instinct, Rocket, Shopify, Stripe, and Walmart. The response has been incredible and today we’re publishing the first draft of the protocol at personalagentprotocol.org and announcing 35 new design partners.
As personal agents take on more, our goal is simple: consumers have choice and control, and companies know when they’re dealing with an agent and who it represents.
This draft is a starting point. We’d love for companies, developers, and personal agent builders to read it, give feedback, and help us build an open standard together.

Open Standard, $OUSD, is now live!
Open Standard is a new USD stablecoin with a very large network of participating partners (joinopenstandard.com/partner…). It's designed to be exceptionally secure, reliable, and developer-friendly. Importantly, most yield is shared directly with partners rather than being internalized by the stablecoin issuer.
Stripe is adopting OUSD in a number of core product flows.
$OUSD is live.
Build with OUSD via @Coinbase @Mastercard @Stripe and @Visa. Each integration path supports 1:1 USD conversion at no cost.

Very excited for @zcabrams to lead @openstandard! This is going to be amazing!
I’m leaving stripe to run Open Standard full time.
at bridge, we made stablecoins more accessible. but our impact was constrained by issuers' economics and incentives.
The world needs better money. we hope to remove these constraints.

3/3 Agentic commerce is more than a technology play. It’s a trust play. The future of commerce will depend on merchants being ready for agents and knowing which ones to trust. Find out how you score.

I keep saying the strength is in the harness, not the model - because it's true. Not much use without a harness, though.
Here's VISA's open-source cybersecurity harness. Just add model; use hosted closed models, use hosted open models, run on-prem, whatever. Very cool of them to share this tech and lift the defensive cybersec poverty line.

Incredible collaboration. Building for the future.
@jackforestell @zcabrams
Today we announced Open USD together with Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, BlackRock, BBVA, Shopify, DoorDash, and 140+ other partners.
Much like the mobile industry needed Android, financial services needs Open USD to scale stablecoin adoption.
The stablecoin space has come a long way since we started Bridge nearly 5 years ago. Total volume is now approaching that of the ACH network and nearly every major financial institution from banks to fintechs is leaning in.
But cost and governance have limited utility and put core payments use cases out of reach. Businesses need a stablecoin that's open, low-cost, high-throughput, broadly accessible, and aligned to their interests.
We'll be launching later this year.

Well done @Jimesposito @cuysheffield
@Visa and @Brale announced our collaboration to explore SBC stablecoin settlement yesterday.
While working on the Brale side, the focus was not only on stablecoins, but on scaling payments: settlement, privacy, and operational resilience.
Thanks to @cuysheffield and Pete Wexler for the partnership!

We're cooking @Visa
Building for the agentic economy is so exciting!
app.visacli.sh/merchants
Visa is for vibe coders.
Anyone can spin up an app and any API can become a merchant.
Starting today we’re onboarding x402 and MPP merchant endpoints into Visa CLI so APIs, LLMs, data products, and dev tools can be discovered and purchased by verified agents with cards on file.
If you’re building an x402 or MPP endpoint, or want Visa to help you stand one up, sign up below.
We’re also opening Visa CLI to initial users in the US. DM me for an invite.

Thrilled to partner with Visa to invent the future of agentic payments.
Visa is a large Replit enterprise customer where 1,000+ employees use Replit, and they’re also a strategic investor in Replit.
Today we’re expanding this partnership to R&D to make it seamless for developers to move money with agents.
At Replit we’ve been obsessed with programmable value for years and ran a few experiments on how to integrate payments deeply into the modern coding and AI stack, but it was too early.
Partnering with Visa will give us the opportunity to deliver on this dream.

The future is onchain!
Stablecoins are moving from idea to infrastructure—powering real settlement. Visa has hit a $7B annualized run rate, + 50% QoQ.
We have expanded our global stablecoin settlement program to @Arc, @Base, @CantonNetwork, @0xPolygon and @Tempo, bringing us to nine chains.
Stablecoins are multi‑chain. Settlement has to be seamless across it.
