No they haven't.

And no official confirmation from both parties (yet)

Keyword "in talks", does not mean "has" or "[confirmed] to acquire".

Yikes. Let the crypto thing go. There is no need to legitimize scams, rug pulls, unregistered securities.
The vast majority of Stripe's fees go to payment processors. I am sure Stripe would prefer to collect those fees for themselves, and pass along some savings to merchants. Crypto is the best avenue for Stripe to do that.
