Stripe Teams Up With Paradigm to Launch ‘Tempo’—A Game-Changer in Blockchain Payments

Stripe just dropped a bombshell—partnering with crypto powerhouse Paradigm to build 'Tempo,' a blockchain designed to bulldoze payment bottlenecks. Move over, legacy rails.
The fintech giant’s pivot into blockchain isn’t just a toe-dip—it’s a cannonball. Tempo aims to slash settlement times and fees, targeting the trillion-dollar cross-border payments market. Banks, meet your existential crisis.
Paradigm’s involvement signals this isn’t another corporate blockchain vanity project. These are the same backers who bet early on Coinbase and Uniswap—now they’re gunning for SWIFT’s lunch.
Will it work? The crypto crowd’s hyped, but Wall Street’s still sipping its overpriced coffee, muttering about ‘regulatory hurdles.’ Meanwhile, Stripe’s stock options just became the hottest lottery ticket in tech.
