This purchase marks the largest acquisition in the crypto industry to date.

Record $1.1 Billion Deal

Bridge, co-founded by Sean Yu and Zach Abrams, provides software tools enabling businesses to accept payments in stablecoins. The platform allows companies to create, store, send, and receive such assets.

Zach Abrams previously served as Head of Consumer at Coinbase and founded the peer-to-peer payments company Evenly, which was later acquired by Square. Before co-founding Bridge, Sean Yu held key engineering roles at major companies such as Coinbase, Square, DoorDash, and Airbnb.
