These include optimized conversion and authorization rates, built-in fraud tools and identity verification, as well as KYC and compliance checks necessary to prevent manipulation and fraud.

Partnership with Brave

Brave is one of the first partners that have partnered with Stripe in order to use its newest offering. James Mudgett, vice president of Web3 products at Brave expressed his enthusiasm about this partnership stating: “We’re thrilled to partner with Stripe as they expand their offerings in the crypto space. We’re excited to offer a fiat payment solution that will allow us to reach new Web3 users.”

Other Offerings from Stripe

In December 2020, Stripe launched a widget that allowed any crypto product user to enter their card information in order to acquire crypto that could be used within another web3 product. Additionally, earlier this year, the company revealed signing agreements worth more than $6.5 billion at a valuation of $50 billion with existing shareholders such as Tiger Global Management LLC., Axios reported at the time.
