Stripe-PayPal deal could accelerate shift to blockchain-based money, Polygon exec says

"Within the next few years the majority of money will live and move on blockchain in one form or another," according to Polygon Labs.

  • A potential acquisition of PayPal by Stripe and Advent International could accelerate the shift of money onto blockchain-based payment systems, according to Polygon Labs.
  • While analysts acknowledge a combined entity might strengthen stablecoin offerings, they question the deal's logic due to PayPal USD's smaller market cap compared to USDC.
  • The news has boosted PayPal's stock, reflecting investor optimism about the potential fintech and blockchain integration.
