据报道，支付巨头 Stripe 正在洽谈收购德克萨斯州稳定币支付中心 Bridge，以扩大 Stripe 的加密货币产品。

The talks are still ongoing and no final decision has been made, a source familiar with the matter told Bloomberg on Monday. Officials from both Bridge and Stripe declined to comment as of press time.

一位知情人士周一告诉彭博社，谈判仍在进行中，尚未做出最终决定。截至发稿时，Bridge 和 Stripe 的官员均拒绝置评。

If acquired, the deal would bolster Stripe's presence in the crypto market as it looks to expand its services.

如果被收购，这笔交易将增强 Stripe 在加密市场的影响力，因为它希望扩大其服务。

In late April, Stripe President John Collison highlighted the benefits of crypto transactions, specifically mentioning their “instant settlement” on-chain and automatic conversion to fiat.

4 月下旬，Stripe 总裁 John Collison 强调了加密货币交易的好处，特别提到了它们的链上“即时结算”和自动转换为法定货币。

“The main benefit of crypto is that it settles instantly on-chain and can be automatically converted to fiat. This enables new use cases and unlocks huge efficiency gains,” Collison said during an earnings call.

“加密货币的主要好处是它可以立即在链上结算，并且可以自动转换为法定货币。这使得新的用例成为可能，并带来巨大的效率提升。”科里森在财报电话会议上表示。

In early October, Stripe, in partnership with stablecoin issuer Paxos, launched its “Pay with Crypto” feature, allowing merchants in over 70 countries to accept stablecoin payments that settle as fiat.

10 月初，Stripe 与稳定币发行商 Paxos 合作推出了“用加密货币支付”功能，允许 70 多个国家的商家接受以法定货币结算的稳定币支付。

Merchants can also issue refunds by converting fiat currency back into stablecoins and sending the refund directly to the original payment wallet.

商家还可以通过将法币兑换回稳定币并将退款直接发送至原始支付钱包来发放退款。

Bridge, founded in 2022 by former Square and Coinbase executives Zach Abrams and Sean Yu, allows its customers not only to accept and send stablecoins, but also settle funds in a made-from-scratch stablecoin, according to the company's website.

据该公司网站称，Bridge 由前 Square 和 Coinbase 高管 Zach Abrams 和 Sean Yu 于 2022 年创立，不仅允许其客户接受和发送稳定币，还可以用一种全新的稳定币结算资金。

In August, Bridge secured $40 million in a round led by Sequoia and Ribbit, bringing the total raised amount to $58 million.

8 月，Bridge 在红杉资本和 Ribbit 领投的一轮融资中获得 4000 万美元融资，融资总额达到 5800 万美元。
