Stripe’s acquisition of Orum follows a pattern of recent investments into infrastructure supporting digital assets, open banking, and instant payment protocols. Over the past six months, Stripe has completed transactions involving stablecoin infrastructure (via Bridge) and crypto on/off ramp solutions (via Privvy). While Orum does not operate in the crypto space, its work in streamlining ACH and instant transfer rails is viewed as complementary to Stripe’s ongoing platform diversification. The addition of Orum’s orchestration layer could reduce Stripe’s internal development timelines and support integration with emerging payment standards.
