TPC editorial briefAs of 2026-06-15
Adyen — Platform Integrity at an Inflection Point

That architecture is now being tested from below by scaled PSPs and from above by the platforms Adyen itself powers. Whether the model compounds or plateaus depends on dynamics that consensus has not fully interrogated.
