NEW PAYMENT STACK CIRCUMVENTING CENTRALIZED EXCHANGES

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

The new payment stack streamlines crypto payments by removing intermediaries like CEXs and aggregators. Users onboard with Privy (embedded wallets), complete one-time KYC, and use Bridge for seamless in-app on/off-ramps, while Stripe supplies banking rails, licenses, and merchant access. Compared to the traditional fragmented stack, this model collapses complexity and may become the dominant UX layer for crypto payments at scale.
