Bridge itself is a recent acquisition target. The stablecoin company is being bought by Stripe for $1.1 billion, in the largest crypto acquisition by a major payments company to date.
"Triangle was inspired by Stripe in how easy they made it to accept payments in any application," Triangle founder and CEO Tasti Zakarie said in emailed comments. "Similarly, we made it easy to utilize digital assets in any application."
