US EditionStablecoin News: Stripe, Paradigm Unveils Payments-Focused Blockchain Tempo
Tempo blockchain focuses on stablecoin payments to offer faster global transactions and microtransactions, led by Stripe and Paradigm amid growing regulatory support.
- On September 4, 2025, Stripe and Paradigm announced Tempo, a new Layer-1 blockchain designed for stablecoin payments.
- They created Tempo because existing blockchains, including high-speed ones like Solana, do not meet Stripe's throughput and payment-focused requirements.
- Tempo aims to process transactions at a very high speed with nearly instantaneous confirmation times, supports payment of fees using stablecoins, and is guided by principles of decentralization and neutrality under the leadership of Matt Huang.
- Stripe CEO Patrick Collison explained that Tempo is designed to simplify the process of bringing various financial activities—such as receiving payments, issuing worldwide transfers, handling small transactions, managing digital asset deposits, and enabling delegated payments—onto the blockchain.
- The project, incubated by Stripe with partners like Anthropic and Deutsche Bank, aims to advance mainstream stablecoin use and grow as an independent blockchain company.
