Payment processor Stripe has agreed to acquire crypto wallet developer Privy, which helps companies embed wallets into their apps for a smooth user experience.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The purchase is Stripe’s latest foray into crypto, which includes its introduction of a Pay with Crypto feature in October to allow merchants to accept USDC stablecoin payments.
