Odaily News Stripe released its 2025 annual letter on platform X, stating that its total platform transaction volume reached $1.9 trillion last year, a year-on-year increase of 34%, accounting for approximately 1.6% of global GDP. Stripe has acquired Privy, which supports 110 million programmable wallets, and the usage-based billing company Metronome.
