Stripe acquiring Bridge and Privy looks like a great build up to their own vertically integrated stablecoin.

Stripe already has a stablecoin though bridge, USDB.  Users can also launch their own stables backed by USDB.

This is definitely a vertical integration play to mange payments end to end.

Distribution is king and they are going after it.

Privy this, privy that. Privy today, privy tomorrow. Privy all day

All signs point to them not just joining the stablecoin game but more like they are setting the rules.

Stripe's acquisition of Bridge and Privy is definitely a strong signal—they might be setting up for a stablecoin play, and the wallet/identity angle is huge. Curious to see how the ecosystem adapts. 🚀
