loved seeing the dreamer demo and can't wait to try it ou!

Had the genuine pleasure of being back at @Stripe last week for their Friday Fireside with @patrickcollison and @collision . I demo'd @dreamer, and it was amazing to see how quickly people "got it" and the specificity of what they wanted to build: - a project management agent that auto-generates gantt charts - a Stripe wave visual tool - an emoji mood mixer - a SaaS integration guide generator… …and of course, the Stripe llamas (iykyk - linked in thread) The best thing about this moment is that you don't need a team of engineers to build any of these. You can describe the problem, and it just works. That's what Dreamer is for. We've got a lot of Stripes using Dreamer now, and I'm so excited to see what they build!

Stripe has reached a $159 billion valuation after a new employee tender offer backed by investors including Thrive Capital, Coatue and Andreessen Horowitz, with the company also deploying capital to repurchase shares to provide employee liquidity while remaining private. Co-founder and president John Collison said the transaction reflects Stripe’s continued growth — following a year in which it processed $1.9 trillion in payment volume and remained profitable — as co-founders including Patrick Collison emphasized ongoing investment in product expansion, acquisitions, and scaling its financial infrastructure despite having no immediate plans for an IPO.

STRIPE BOLSTERS CRYPTO AMBITIONS WITH PRIVY ACQUISITION, BUILDING ON $1.1B BRIDGE DEAL CRYPTO NEWSWIRE: A Strategic Crypto Expansion On June 11, 2025, @stripe, the global payments giant, announced its acquisition of Privy, a New York-based #Crypto wallet infrastructure startup, for an undisclosed sum, as reported by Bloomberg and confirmed by both companies. This move, following Stripe’s $1.1 billion purchase of #Stablecoin platform Bridge in February 2025, solidifies its push into digital assets, aiming to enhance crypto and on-chain payment solutions for its eight million merchants worldwide. Privy's technology, which powers over 75 million wallets, will remain an independent product within Stripe’s ecosystem, accelerating the integration of seamless crypto experiences. #StripePrivy #CryptoWallet #StablecoinPush Privy’s Game-Changing Technology.... Founded in 2021, Privy simplifies crypto onboarding by enabling developers to embed custodial and non-custodial wallets accessible via familiar Web2 credentials, like email or single sign-on. This eliminates the need for complex external setups, such as MetaMask, reducing user friction. Clients like @opensea, Blackbird, and Toku leverage Privy’s infrastructure to streamline NFT purchases, crypto payments, and payroll. CEO Henri Stern noted that Privy’s API makes wallets “simple, intuitive, and instant,” powering billions in transactions across 1,000 developer teams. #PrivyTech #EmbeddedWallets #CryptoOnboarding Building On Bridge’s Foundation..... Stripe’s acquisition of Bridge, a stablecoin infrastructure firm, laid the groundwork for its Stablecoin Financial Accounts, launched in May 2025. These accounts allow businesses in 101 countries to hold and transact in stablecoins like USDC and Bridge’s USDB, with plans to support more tokens. The Privy deal complements this, combining wallet infrastructure with stablecoin rails to create a unified platform for crypto and fiat transactions. Stripe’s John Collison told @Bloomberg that banks are increasingly interested in stablecoins, which now settle $27.6 trillion quarterly, outpacing Visa’s 2023 volume. #BridgeAcquisition #StablecoinAccounts #CryptoPayments A Vision For Internet-Native Finance.... Stripe CEO Patrick Collison emphasized that Privy’s “programmable vaults” align with the company’s goal of building secure, internet-native financial services. By integrating Privy’s wallet technology with Bridge’s stablecoin capabilities, Stripe aims to simplify global value transfer, making crypto as seamless as traditional payments. Posts on the X News Discussion Platform highlight the excitement, with users like @bneiluj noting that Stripe now controls both “stablecoin rails and the distribution layer,” positioning it as a crypto infrastructure leader. The deal, expected to close in weeks, marks a pivotal step in Stripe’s Web3 strategy. #InternetFinance #StripeCrypto #Web3Vision Market Context And Challenges..... The global stablecoin market, valued at over $250 billion, is booming, driven by tokens like Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC. However, #NYU professor #AustinCampbell warned that U.S. banks are “panicking” over yield-bearing stablecoins, which could disrupt their business models. Despite this, Stripe’s acquisitions signal confidence in crypto’s mainstream adoption, with 60% of Fortune 500 firms exploring blockchain, per @Cryptonews. Regulatory hurdles, like the stalled #GENIUSact, and concerns about foreign influence in U.S. crypto markets remain, but Stripe’s moves are undeterred. #StablecoinMarket #BankConcerns #CryptoAdoption Privy’s Growth And Potential..... Valued at $230 million in March 2025 after raising $40 million from investors like Sequoia and Coinbase Ventures, Privy brings significant expertise to Stripe. Its infrastructure supports platforms like Farcaster and Hyperliquid, enabling decentralized trading and social apps. Sequoia praised the acquisition, noting that Stripe’s resources will empower Privy to serve more developers and transform how value moves online. As Stripe integrates Privy’s 75 million accounts, it aims to bridge Web2 usability with Web3 capability, reducing barriers for everyday users. #PrivyGrowth #SequoiaSupport #Web2Web3 A New Era For Stripe And Crypto..... Stripe’s acquisition of Privy, hot on the heels of Bridge, positions it as a powerhouse in the $27.6 trillion stablecoin economy. By combining wallet infrastructure with payment and stablecoin tools, Stripe is crafting an end-to-end crypto ecosystem that could onboard millions of merchants and consumers. As the crypto market evolves, Stripe’s bold bets signal a future where digital assets are as commonplace as fiat. However, regulatory scrutiny and technical challenges loom, making this a high-stakes gamble to redefine global finance. #StripeFuture #CryptoEcosystem #GlobalFinance NOTE: Follow @ElonMusk's X News Discussion Platform for updates on Stripe’s crypto initiatives and Privy’s integration. #StripeAcquisition #PrivyWallet #StablecoinGrowth #CryptoInfrastructure #PatrickCollison #BridgeStablecoin #Web3Payments #OpenSeaPartner #USDCsupport #CryptoMerchants #BlockchainBoom #SeamlessCrypto #HenriStern #StablecoinRails #Fortune500Crypto #GENIUSactDebate #CryptoFriction #DigitalAssets #StripeExpansion #PaymentInnovation

The infrastructure that is part of the elaboration of a product or service is important because if it is good, it says that the company that makes the product is careful. #PatrickCollison #Stripe #CustomerRelations #RevenueSources
