今天，Stripe Inc宣布收购比特币和加密钱包基础设施提供商Privy，这标志着其在今年早些时候购买Stablecoin Firm Bridge的11亿美元购买后，其第二个主要的数字资产以重点收购。

Privy specializes in helping companies embed Bitcoin and crypto wallets directly into their apps and websites. For example, NFT marketplace OpenSea uses Privy to streamline purchases by automatically generating wallets for users. This removes the need for external wallet setups through services like MetaMask or Coinbase.

Privy专门帮助公司将比特币和加密钱包直接嵌入其应用程序和网站中。例如，NFT Marketplace Opensea使用Privy来自动为用户生成钱包来简化购买。这可以消除对外部钱包设置的需求，例如metamask或coinbase。

"When we started, wallets were powerful but inaccessible for all but the most technical," said the Co-founder and CEO of Privy Henri Stern.

Privy Henri Stern的联合创始人兼首席执行官说：“当我们开始时，除了最技术性外，钱包都很强大，但无法获得。”

"Developers had to send users off-platform to get started, breaking flows and killing user conversion. That friction fundamentally constrained what could be built in crypto."

“开发人员必须将用户偏离平台以开始，打破流量并杀死用户转换。这种摩擦从根本上限制了加密货币中可以构建的东西。”

Privy, based in New York, was founded by Henri Stern and Asta Li in 2021. Li was previously a founding engineer at Aurora, while Stern worked as a research scientist at web3 firm Protocol Labs. The startup has raised just over $40 million from investors including Ribbit Capital, Definition, and Coinbase Ventures, and was last valued at $230 million in March, according to PitchBook.

总部位于纽约的Privy由Henri Stern和Asta Li于2021年创立。Li以前是Aurora的创始工程师，而Stern曾在Web3公司协议实验室担任研究科学家。根据PitchBook的说法，该初创公司的投资者筹集了超过4000万美元，包括Ribbit Capital，Dewution和Coinbase Ventures，最后3月的价值为2.3亿美元。

"We started Privy a little over three years ago to make it easy for any developer to build better products on crypto rails," stated their announcement. "Whether crypto is core to your app or simply a new layer of functionality, a good crypto product should just feel like a good product, period. By making crypto usable, we help make it useful for everyone."

他们的公告说：“我们在三年前就开始了Privy，以使任何开发人员都可以在加密货币轨道上构建更好的产品。” “无论是加密货币是您的应用程序的核心还是仅仅是新的功能层，好的加密产品都应该感觉像是一个好产品，时期。通过使加密货币可用，我们可以帮助每个人都有用。”

The acquisition follows Stripe’s earlier purchase of Bridge which helped accelerate interest in digital assets. Earlier this year, Stripe introduced stablecoin funded accounts designed to help merchants store funds and make international payments using Circle’s USDC and Bridge’s USDB. Similar to Bridge, Privy will continue operating as a standalone product.

此次收购是在Stripe早先购买的桥梁之后，这有助于加速对数字资产的兴趣。今年早些时候，Stripe推出了Stablecoin资助的帐户，旨在帮助商人存储资金，并使用Circle的USDC和Bridge的USDB进行国际付款。与Bridge类似，Privy将继续作为独立产品运行。

Privy will power over 75 million accounts and support more than 1,000 developer teams, enabling billions in transaction volume, according to the announcement. Clients include Hyperliquid, Blackbird, Toku, and Farcaster, all using Bitcoin and crypto infrastructure to build real-world products in areas like trading, payments, payroll, and social applications.

据公告称，普雷里将为超过7500万个帐户供应超过7500万个帐户，并为超过1,000多个开发人员团队提供支持，从而实现了数十亿美元的交易量。客户包括Hyplliquid，Blackbird，Toku和Farcaster，都使用比特币和加密基础架构在交易，付款，工资和社交应用等领域建造现实世界中的产品。

"With a unified platform, connecting Privy's wallets to the money movement capabilities in Stripe and Bridge, we're enormously excited to enable a new generation of global, Internet-native financial services," stated the co-founder and CEO of Stripe Patrick Collison.

Stripe Patrick Collison的联合创始人兼首席执行官说：“有了一个统一的平台，将Privy的钱包与Stripe and Bridge的货币运动能力联系起来，我们非常兴奋地使新一代全球，互联网本地金融服务能够。”
