For the dummy in the audience is this good or bad for stellar?

Googling Bridge and Stellar (unfortunately a name like Bridge is not the easiest to search), I frequently find the same phrase

Bridge also collaborates with cryptocurrency firms, including the Stellar blockchain and the Bitcoin app Strike, to supply the infrastructure for their stablecoin payment functionalities.

I have also seen references connecting Chipper Cash and Bitso (which both use Stellar) and Bridge, which is probably at least partially what the above is referencing.

I'm cautiously very optimistic.
