Stripe and Advent propose a $53 billion bid for PayPal at $60.50 per share. The transaction, supported by $500 billion in financing, includes a 28% premium over Tuesday’s closing price. The Fear and Greed Index remains neutral, while altcoins to watch show mixed performance. Stripe and Advent, in discussions since April, aim for equal 50% ownership without splitting the company. A response from PayPal is pending, with a potential deal expected by month-end.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that payment company Stripe, in collaboration with private equity firm Advent International, has made a takeover offer for PayPal at $60.50 per share, valuing the company at over $53 billion—approximately 28% above PayPal’s closing price on Tuesday. The offer, submitted earlier this month, is backed by approximately $50 billion in committed bank financing. Stripe and Advent had initial discussions in early April and have yet to receive a response from PayPal; both parties are seeking to reach an agreement by the end of this month. Under the proposal, Stripe and Advent would jointly own PayPal, each holding a 50% stake, rather than splitting the company.
