Stripe Makes Power Move: Paradigm’s Matt Huang to Spearhead Ambitious Blockchain Project Tempo
Stripe just placed a big bet on blockchain—and they're bringing in heavy artillery.
The payments giant tapped Matt Huang, co-founder of crypto VC powerhouse Paradigm, to lead its newly unveiled blockchain division 'Tempo.' Because what's a fintech in 2025 without a blockchain play?
Why this matters:
- Huang’s Paradigm pedigree brings instant crypto credibility
- Stripe’s re-entry into crypto signals institutional FOMO is back
- 'Tempo' suggests speed—but we’ll see if it outpaces regulatory hurdles
Wall Street’s already salivating at the potential IPO pop—never mind that most enterprise blockchain projects still can’t clear the 'useful vs. buzzword' bar. One thing's certain: when Stripe moves, the money follows. Even when it’s chasing the blockchain dragon.
