Stripe looked to have gained ground in the market after announcing its support for Bitcoin payments in 2014.

Also, Stripe has given all indications that it could make another entrance into the market at the period, one of which the partnership is making possible. Towards the end of 2021, the company assembled a list of professionals to examine the viability of integrating crypto payments on its platform.
