Bridge Co-founder and CEO Zach Abrams to Leave Stripe and Lead Open Standard Full Time

Zach Abrams, co-founder and CEO of Stripe-owned stablecoin infrastructure company Bridge, has announced that he will leave Stripe to work full time on Open Standard.

Abrams said Bridge’s efforts to expand stablecoin adoption were constrained by issuers’ economic models and incentive structures. Open Standard aims to address these limitations and enable businesses using stablecoins to participate in the ecosystem’s economics and growth. Stripe completed its acquisition of Bridge in 2025. — link
