Mid-Year Payments Check-In: Revisiting Our 2026 Predictions - Glenbrook Partners, LLC

The Glenbrook team is taking stock in June 2026 to see how our January predictions about the trends most likely to shape the payments industry are holding up.

  • The payments industry is experiencing rapid innovation in 2026, with agentic commerce and stablecoins being key themes, though widespread adoption remains a challenge.
  • Payment tokenization is seen as a foundational security requirement for agentic commerce, while stablecoins are gaining regulatory clarity but still seeking scale beyond crypto ecosystems.
  • The industry is also focused on cross-border payment improvements, interchange litigation, fraud management, and evolving banking regulations, with significant experimentation but limited transaction volume in many new areas.
