Odaily Planet Daily reports that, according to Bloomberg, payment giant Stripe is exploring the possibility of acquiring the established fintech company PayPal, which may involve a full acquisition or partial asset purchase. Currently, negotiations are still in the preliminary stage, and Stripe has not commented on the news.
Stripe’s latest valuation is approximately $159 billion, while PayPal’s stock has fallen nearly 40% over the past year.

In recent years, Stripe has continuously expanded into the crypto payments sector, and this potential acquisition could reshape the competitive landscape of the global payments industry.
