Stripe acquires Privy to strengthen crypto infrastructure

Stripe has confirmed its acquisition of Privy, a crypto wallet infrastructure provider, as part of its broader push into digital assets. Announced in June 2025, the deal demonstrates Stripe’s commitment to building secure, accessible crypto solutions for businesses worldwide. 

Privy’s technology enables easy management of digital wallets, streamlining how users store and transact with cryptocurrencies. By integrating Privy’s tools into its global payments platform, Stripe plans to simplify crypto adoption for both businesses and consumers. 

Stripe co-founder Patrick Collison said: “Adding Privy to Stripe allows us to connect secure wallet infrastructure with our existing financial tools. We’re building for the next generation of internet-native financial services.” 

The acquisition reflects growing demand for crypto-friendly payment solutions and highlights Stripe’s strategy to bridge traditional finance with emerging Blockchain technology. The company plans to leverage Privy’s expertise to enhance identity verification, wallet security and digital asset management across its ecosystem. 

As businesses seek easier ways to engage with digital currencies, Stripe’s investment in crypto infrastructure positions it as a leader in the evolving FinTech space. The deal also strengthens Stripe’s capacity to support decentralised finance applications, ensuring its platform remains innovative and competitive. 

Stripe’s latest acquisition signals its long-term commitment to shaping the future of global payments with a strong emphasis on crypto integration.
