As we report over Webpay's impressive round micropayment provider Yanca gives up and sells its assets to Bitpass:

"Micropayment company BitPass announced Thursday that it has acquired Yaga, a developer of payment services for digital content.

Menlo Park, Calif-based BitPass, which helps online merchants perform small-ticket transactions, declined to provide financial terms of the deal.

Micropayments are typified by the 99 cents that iTunes charges to download a song or the $2.99 users might see on their cingular Wireless phone bills after buying a custom ring tone."

Judging on the investment they both got Yaga should have been the bigger shark:

"Yaga had raised around $22 million in VC funding during 2000 and 2001, from firms like AltoTech Ventures, MVC Capital, InfoSpace.com and Barry Financial. BitPass has raised around $13.25 million in VC funding from firms like Worldview Technology Partners, Steamboat Ventures, RRE Ventures, First Data Corp., Garage Technology Ventures, Cardinal Venture Capital and Amicus Capital."
