ETSY News & Events

Viraj Gupta, Product Manager, Cards Vault, at Stripe announced in a blog post: "Last year, we launched Shared Payment Tokens, a payment primitive for agentic commerce that lets agents initiate payments with a customer's permission and preferred payment method, without exposing the underlying credentials. We've seen widespread adoption of SPTs by leading businesses such as Etsy and URBN, including Anthropologie, Free People, and Urban Outfitters. Since then, sellers have asked us for access to more of the most popular payment methods for agentic transactions. To that end, we're expanding SPT support to enable broader access to network-led agentic payment capabilities, including Mastercard Agent Pay and Visa Intelligent Commerce, as well as buy now, pay later methods such as Affirm and Klarna. This makes Stripe the first and only provider that supports both agentic network tokens and BNPL tokens in agentic commerce through a single primitive. These capabilities are already rolling out: Stripe is using agentic network tokens to process transactions across supported AI agents."

The major averages initially had a muted reaction after the Supreme Court ruled against certain of President Donald Trump's tariffs, resulting in stock spikes for retailers and other names that have had to deal with major impacts from rising import and manufacturing costs. The court determined that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act "does not authorize the President to impose tariffs."In response, Trump called the ruling "deeply disappointing," adding that 10% Section 122 tariffs will be imposed on top of the other tariffs. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the Section 122 tariffs will be implemented and signed today.When the dust settled, the averages closed with gains for the day, though uncertainty remains about how any tariff refunds will be paid, to whom and if refunds will be issued at all.Looking to commodities, gold was sharply higher, while oil was marginally higher amid continued tensions with Iran.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.
