Talks to sell PayPal to Stripe and Advent are heating up

PayPal is reportedly still in negotiations over a potential sale to Stripe and private equity firm Advent. The talks come as PayPal’s new CEO works to revive growth and reposition the fintech company.

A deal would mark a major reshaping of the payments landscape, potentially combining PayPal’s consumer and merchant reach with Stripe’s developer-led infrastructure. Continued interest from private equity also suggests investors see room for a turnaround despite PayPal’s recent challenges.
