Stripe Bets Big on Stablecoins—Taps Bridge for Infrastructure
Fintech giant Stripe is quietly building a stablecoin product, leveraging Bridge’s infrastructure—because what’s a payments revolution without some blockchain buzz?
The move signals Stripe’s re-entry into crypto after its 2018 Bitcoin backtrack. This time, they’re playing it safe with stablecoins—Wall Street’s favorite ’crypto’ asset (read: less volatile, more compliant).
Bridge’s tech will handle the heavy lifting, letting Stripe focus on what it does best: making finance slightly less painful while taking a tidy cut. Because in the end, even decentralization needs middlemen—they just wear hoodies now.
