Stripe is acquiring Privy. 🤯💛!! These last 3 years have been my absolute best, building alongside THE #1 team, and supporting 1,000+ customers as they've transformed their markets with crypto. I couldn't imagine a better partner to multiply Privy's impact. Let's get it 🦾🦾
1/ Today, we're proud to announce that Stripe is acquiring Privy. We couldn’t be more excited. Privy will continue as an independent product – but now we’ll move faster, ship more, and serve you even better, so you can stay focused on your users.

If you get paid in stablecoins, you’ve probably had to run that money through an exchange before you could spend it. Now you can send USDC straight to OnePay, and it lands in the same Checking balance you already use for bills and sending money.

1/ @altitude is building modern business accounts for companies in 200+ countries, processing $1.5B in annualized payment volume. With Privy, they're bringing enterprise-grade security to self-custody, giving businesses control over their funds without managing private keys.

Had a BLAST jamming with one of my favorite founders @CarrieHayKellar It’s only a matter of time before all marketplaces run on crypto rails, and the Baxus team were some of the first to make this happen 🥃🥃🥃
"Why are you building on crypto rails?" Collectibles, stablecoins and instant settlement, all on the same rails. That's why. Tipsy Tech with @segall_max from @Privy_io 🥃

A few of you have asked: yes, we built the @link balance using @privy_io for wallets, @tempo for stablecoins, and @stripe for onramp. (The magic of crypto is when you never know.)

This is the holy grail of products we get to build as a part of Stripe Hundreds of millions of link users, growing FAST, moving onchain 🤓🤓🤓
Introducing Link balance. You can now give your agent a balance to spend on your behalf, even when you’re away or busy. • Purchase concert tickets while you’re asleep. • Buy your favorite shoes when the price drops. • Order your entire shopping list with one prompt. You choose how much money to add and set your own limits, your agent does the rest. Rolling out now to @Instinct users in eligible US regions.

Businesses can now offramp stablecoins (OUSD, USDC, etc.) to local bank accounts in nine currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, MXN, BRL, ARS, COP, PHP, and NGN. Stripe routes payouts over local payment networks, including Pix in Brazil, Faster Payments in the UK, and NIP in Nigeria.

This one hits close to home
Tomorrow on Cheeky Pint: Scott Kirby from @United breaks down the airline business for @benthompson and me: how they play the gate/slot contest, Starlink changing their competitive dynamics, and how everyone needs to stop outsourcing their thinking to surveys.

1/ Every Friday, we ship to make building on Privy better. Today: Read-only app secrets give your tools access to the data they need, without unnecessary permissions. Dashboards, analytics, and support tools can view data without the ability to move funds or modify settings.
