Stripe Reportedly Considering Acquiring All or Part of PayPal's Business

Odaily News According to a Bloomberg report, payment giant Stripe is exploring the possibility of acquiring veteran fintech company PayPal, which could involve a full acquisition or the purchase of partial assets. The negotiations are currently still in the preliminary stages, and Stripe has not commented on the related news.

Stripe's latest valuation is approximately $159 billion, while PayPal's stock price has fallen nearly 40% over the past year. As a pioneer in internet payments, PayPal once drove the popularization of digital wallets, but its growth is facing pressure under the impact of emerging competitors and the wave of digital assets. In recent years, Stripe has continued to expand into the crypto payments field. This potential acquisition may reshape the competitive landscape of the global payments industry.
