Revolut Launches Euro-Pegged Stablecoin EURR Under MiCA Framework

Aug 18, 2026 UTC· 2 events in window

Stripe saw two major acquisition-related developments this period. Stripe finalized its acquisition of AI gateway startup OpenRouter for over $7 billion, strengthening its position in AI infrastructure. Separately, Stripe is reportedly in talks with Advent International to acquire PayPal, with a potentially higher offer on the table after an initial bid was rejected. If successful, the deal would create a $3 trillion payment platform. Both events signal Stripe's aggressive expansion across payments and AI.

Only one event related to Stripe was captured in this period, and it does not directly concern Stripe itself. The event involves the collapse of AI hedge fund Situational Awareness and its asset sale to Citadel. The connection to Stripe appears tangential, likely arising from Stripe's mention as payment infrastructure in related transactions or portfolios. No other substantive developments regarding Stripe's business, products, regulation, or market position were recorded.

Revolut has launched EURR, a euro-pegged stablecoin (e-money token) issued by Bridge Building S.A., a Luxembourg-based entity owned by Stripe’s Bridge. The token, pegged at €1, is initially available to eligible customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal starting August 2026, with plans to expand across the European Economic Area. Integrated into Revolut’s app, EURR enables on-chain euro-to-crypto transfers on blockchains like Ethereum and Polygon. The rollout is a small pilot with only 374 tokens in circulation, backed by €374 in cash deposits.

Stripe acquires AI startup OpenRouter for over $7 billion

The acquisition strengthens Stripe’s position in AI infrastructure, following earlier reports of talks around $10 billion.

Stripe and Advent International in Talks to Acquire PayPal

PayPal is in active negotiations to sell itself to a consortium of fintech startup Stripe and private-equity firm Advent International. The group initially offered $60.50 per share in July, valuing PayPal at $53 billion, which was rejected as too low. Talks have since resumed with a potentially higher price. The deal would combine Stripe’s modern payment infrastructure with PayPal’s 439 million active accounts, creating a $3 trillion payment platform. PayPal’s stock rose nearly 2% on the news.

AI Hedge Fund Situational Awareness Sells $16B Portfolio to Citadel After Losses

Leopold Aschenbrenner’s AI-focused hedge fund, Situational Awareness, suffered steep losses on leveraged bets in AI infrastructure stocks (e.g., SK Hynix) and short positions in software. To meet margin calls, it sold most of its ~$16 billion public equity portfolio to Citadel. The fund retains private investments, including a ~$5 billion stake in Anthropic, and plans to transition into a private holding company. The collapse tests Aschenbrenner’s AI infrastructure thesis and sparks debate on AI investing risks.

Stripe and Advent International Bid $53 Billion for PayPal

Payments firm Stripe and private equity firm Advent International jointly offered $60.50 per share to acquire PayPal, valuing the company at over $53 billion. The proposal, backed by $50 billion in committed bank financing, would give Stripe and Advent equal ownership. PayPal shares surged up to 28% on the news. The deal reflects major consolidation in digital payments, as PayPal faces slowing growth and competition from Apple Pay and Google Pay. Neither PayPal nor Stripe has officially confirmed the offer.

Circle Stock Plunges 15% on Open USD Stablecoin Launch by Major Backers

Circle Internet Group (CRCL) shares fell nearly 15-18% after Open Standard unveiled Open USD (OUSD), a stablecoin backed by over 140 companies including Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, BlackRock, and Stripe. OUSD offers free minting/redemption and shares reserve earnings with partners, directly challenging Circle’s USDC revenue model (99% from reserve interest). Coinbase, which received $908 million from Circle for USDC distribution, joined the rival consortium. Circle retains regulatory standing in the US and Europe, but the launch threatens its key revenue-sharing deal with Coinbase expiring in August.
