Powering Stripe's Stablecoin Stack
summary
Privy builds embedded wallets and key‑management SDKs used by several thousand customers (Jupiter, Uniswap, Klarna) to hold and move stablecoins; the stack includes Privy Earn layered on Morpho and Aave, wallet connectors and day one key export as escape hatches, and powers products like MoneyGram’s MGUSD and Deel contractor wallets. Privy joins Stripe to keep an open stack approach while Treasury is live in 50 countries and Stripe’s Atlas example shows a decade‑scale play (25% of Delaware incorporations).
