Tempo, the new blockchain backed by payments company Stripe and VC firm Paradigm, has launched a “stablecoin advisory” to help businesses and financial institutions adopt stablecoins. The advisory operation pledges Tempo support in identifying relevant use cases and offers “forward-deployed” engineers who can work within clients to successfully integrate stablecoins.Tempo has been closely watched in the crypto space since Fortune first reported on its existence in mid-2025. After disclosing a $500 million funding round that valued the company at $5 billion in October, Tempo formally launched in March. Now, the payments-focused blockchain is betting that businesses will turn to stablecoins for their payment flows if given adequate know-how and technical support. Circle’s successful initial public offering as well as renewed interest in stablecoins from major firms like Meta, X, and Google underscore how bullish much of the tech and business world is on blockchain payments. With the backing of payments giant Stripe, Tempo is attempting to become a central player in making stablecoins mainstream. The company is already working with DoorDash on an option that it will let its delivery employees get paid in stablecoins. Stripe, Coastal Community Bank and the financial services platform ARQ are all building stablecoin infrastructure with Tempo. Visa, OnePay, Felix, Fifth Third Bank, and Howard Hughes Holdings are all also bringing payments operations onto Tempo, the blockchain project said in a note shared with Fortune. Tempo’s stablecoin advisory will comprise a “handful of dedicated folks” within the company, but it will rely on the broader expertise of the team as well, a person familiar with Tempo’s internal operations told Fortune. The decision to design stablecoin products for external partners follows on earlier work Tempo did with its “design partners” for the blockchain itself, which included OpenAI, Shopify, and Visa. Tempo’s ascendence and corporate partnerships are indicative of a larger trend where well-heeled, corporate firms—from Robinhood to Stripe—are making their way into blockchain, traditionally the territory of anti-establishmentarians and iconoclasts.This story was originally featured on Fortune.com
