A reported $53 billion Stripe-Advent bid for PayPal could reshape stablecoin distribution

CoinDesk’s July 16 analysis examined the crypto and stablecoin stakes of a reported joint Stripe-Advent International proposal to acquire PayPal for $60.50 per share, valuing it above $53 billion. Reuters reported the proposal through two unnamed sources; the parties had not confirmed it. A completed deal could combine Stripe’s stablecoin infrastructure with PayPal and Venmo distribution plus PayPal’s PYUSD, but that strategic outcome remains speculative.
