If Stripe Gets PayPal, What's the impact on Crypto?

If the deal happens, the first thing I see is Stablecoin Domination.

Stripe might compete with USDC own integration. A unified liquidity between bridge's tech and PayPal 400M users of the PYUSD.

It might boost the wide adoption of crypto payment and start a new bullish season.

For what other reason could this deal be benefic for crypto?

I haven't even checked the negative side of the deal. Any thoughts to help figure this out?

Is it the kickstart of a real bullish season where crypto payments just work in the background? Or just another fluff?

What else?

Regulatory influence. Two giants merging creates serious lobbying power for clearer crypto rules. Not sure.

What are the downsides? Less competition, potential monopoly on payment rails?

Just thinking.
