Summary

Tempo, a blockchain backed by Stripe and Paradigm, has launched a “stablecoin advisory” to help businesses and financial institutions adopt stablecoins. The advisory operation will provide support in identifying use cases and offer engineers to integrate stablecoins. Tempo has been closely watched since its existence was first reported in 2025, and has since disclosed a $500 million funding round and launched in March. The company is betting that businesses will turn to stablecoins for payment flows with adequate know-how and technical support.


Our Reading

The numbers tell one story.

Tempo is making a big bet on stablecoins, with the backing of payments giant Stripe. The company is already working with DoorDash and has partnerships with Visa, OnePay, and others. Tempo’s stablecoin advisory will comprise a small team, but will rely on the broader expertise of the company. The decision to design stablecoin products for external partners follows earlier work with “design partners” like OpenAI, Shopify, and Visa.

Stripe is getting deeper into blockchain, and Tempo is becoming a central player in making stablecoins mainstream.
