Stripe Co-founder: After acquiring Privy, its revenue rose approximately 9-fold, while wallet asset scale surged roughly 25 times.
Stripe co-founder Patrick Collison wrote that since Privy joined Stripe over a year ago, its wallet assets have grown roughly 25 times, monthly active developers have tripled, revenue has increased ninefold, and it now facilitates nearly $25 billion in transactions monthly. Companies including Ramp, Deel, Klarna, and Hyperliquid are building embedded banking features on Privy. Stripe is deeply integrating Privy into its Treasury, Link, and Connect products to accelerate global expansion and feature development, and plans to launch a Link balance feature. Privy’s wallet infrastructure now supports AI agents for transactions and revenue generation, with use cases including Merit Systems and Nevermined. Collison forecasts that the agent economy will continue its rapid growth. The two sides are building a unified API that supports holding stablecoin balances and earning yields, fiat on- and off-ramps, and card-based spending. Collison also noted that significant integration work remains between Privy, Bridge, and Stripe’s other business units.

Jensen Huang backs CoreWeave: The company’s financial conditions continue to improve and it does not require guarantees from NVIDIA.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said data center operator CoreWeave’s financial health is improving. Nvidia is CoreWeave’s computing equipment supplier. Speaking at an event in Stockholm, Huang stated: “CoreWeave’s strength grows stronger every day.” He believes Nvidia does not need to provide financial guarantees for CoreWeave. “I am optimistic. In fact, their cost of capital is declining.” Earlier, credit market confidence in CoreWeave had deteriorated, with concerns rising over its default risk, and Huang is trying to restore market confidence in the company. CoreWeave is a key case testing the sustainability of business models for emerging AI infrastructure firms. These firms emerged to meet the nearly unlimited growth in AI computing power demand as described by companies like Nvidia. Backed by suppliers including Nvidia, CoreWeave and similar entities have taken on large amounts of debt, sparking market concerns about circular financing generating artificial demand.
