🔥 Stripe Makes a Bold Crypto Move — Acquires Valora’s Core Team

Payments giant Stripe just took another major step into blockchain by acquiring the team behind Valora, the mobile-first Web3 wallet.

▫️ Valora Team Joins Stripe

The entire Valora builder team will now work on Stripe’s blockchain initiatives, following the launch of Tempo’s testnet.

▫️ What Is Valora?

A mobile Web3 wallet supporting stablecoins & assets across Celo, Ethereum, Base, Optimism, and Arbitrum — built for global, mobile-native users.

▫️ Why This Move Matters

Valora’s team brings deep experience in:

▪️ Global payments

▪️ Digital wallets

▪️ User-first crypto UX

Perfect fit for Stripe’s expanding stablecoin + blockchain roadmap.

▫️ Valora App Continues

The app will keep running, but ownership returns to cLabs, the original Celo development group.

▫️ Stripe’s Crypto Momentum Grows

Stripe + Paradigm launched Tempo testnet just a day earlier.

Tempo has already attracted $5B in pre-launch interest.

Key highlight:

▪️ Create stablecoins directly from the browser — instant, simple, developer-friendly.

▫️ Bigger Picture

Stripe is positioning itself to become a major force in stablecoin payments and Web3 infrastructure, and onboarding Valora's team accelerates that mission.
