支付巨头 Stripe 以 1.1B 美元收购稳定币 Platform Bridge，创下加密行业记录

Bridge 由 Sean Yu 和 Zach Abrams 创立，他们之前创建了 Venmo 的竞争对手 Evenly，专门提供软件解决方案，使企业能够接受稳定币付款。

Payments giant Stripe has acquired stablecoin platform Bridge for a staggering $1.1 billion, marking Stripe’s largest acquisition to date and setting a record as the biggest acquisition in the crypto industry, TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington reports.

据 TechCrunch 创始人 Michael Arrington 报道，支付巨头 Stripe 以惊人的 11 亿美元收购了稳定币平台 Bridge，这是 Stripe 迄今为止最大的一笔收购，并创下了加密货币行业最大一笔收购的记录。

Founded by Sean Yu and Zach Abrams, who previously created a Venmo competitor called Evenly, Bridge specializes in providing software solutions that enable businesses to accept payments in stablecoins. The acquisition comes as Stripe expands its cryptocurrency initiatives.

Bridge 由 Sean Yu 和 Zach Abrams 创立，他们之前创建了 Venmo 的竞争对手 Evenly，专门提供软件解决方案，使企业能够接受稳定币付款。此次收购正值 Stripe 扩大其加密货币计划之际。

Before the deal, Bridge had raised $58 million from investors, including a $40 million Series A round that valued the company at $200 million. The $1.1 billion acquisition price reflects a significant increase in valuation and underscores the growing role of stablecoin technology in the payments industry.

在交易之前，Bridge 已从投资者那里筹集了 5800 万美元，其中包括 4000 万美元的 A 轮融资，该轮融资使公司估值达到 2 亿美元。 11 亿美元的收购价格反映了估值的大幅上涨，并突显了稳定币技术在支付行业中日益重要的作用。

Recently, Stripe re-enabled support for crypto payments in the U.S. using USDC on platforms like Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. Stripe also announced a partnership with Coinbase in June 2024 to integrate Coinbase’s Base Layer 2 network into its crypto payment offerings. The collaboration will allow Coinbase users to purchase crypto directly through Stripe.

最近，Stripe 在美国重新启用了对以太坊、Solana 和 Polygon 等平台上使用 USDC 的加密支付的支持。 Stripe 还于 2024 年 6 月宣布与 Coinbase 合作，将 Coinbase 的 Base Layer 2 网络集成到其加密支付产品中。此次合作将允许 Coinbase 用户直接通过 Stripe 购买加密货币。
