XRP Surges as Ripple Integrates with Stripe and Tempo's Machine Payments Protocol

Ripple's XRP Ledger expansion into AI-driven payments has sent the cryptocurrency price up by 3% on Thursday.

The integration of XRP with Stripe and Tempo's Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) allows AI agents to make single payments using XRP, issued assets like Ripple USD (RLUSD), and Multi-Purpose Tokens.

Ripple released version 1.1 of its XRP Ledger AI Starter Kit, adding support for MPP and the Open Wallet Standard, which enables agentic payments across multiple platforms and rails.

'Agentic payments will be multi-platform and multi-rail,' said RippleX Head of Product Jazzi Cooper, highlighting Ripple's goal to make XRP and RLUSD 'first-class options wherever developers are building.'
