BlockBeats News, February 26 — Mizuho analysts stated that if the payment company Stripe advances with a potential acquisition of PayPal, it would help expand from traditional merchant payment services into the consumer market. Previously, reports indicated that Stripe is considering acquiring all or part of PayPal’s business.
In terms of scale, the deal appears feasible. Stripe’s latest valuation is approximately $159 billion, significantly higher than PayPal’s market value of about $43 billion. Analysts believe that PayPal’s large user base and its peer-to-peer payment app Venmo will provide Stripe with a strong consumer brand and user network support.
Additionally, PayPal’s Braintree merchant payment infrastructure could also enhance Stripe’s competitiveness in the payment processing market. It is noted that Braintree could bring approximately $700 billion in total payment volume (TPV) to Stripe, while Stripe’s current annual TPV is about $1.4 trillion. (The Block)
