💳 Stripe’s Big Blockchain Play — Meet ‘Tempo’ ⛓️🚀

The $91B fintech giant Stripe isn’t just processing payments anymore — it’s building the rails for Web3. 🌐

🔥 What’s Happening?

- Stripe is launching Tempo, a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain 🏎️

- Payments-focused & Ethereum-compatible for smooth integration

- Built in partnership with Paradigm 💡

💡 Why It Matters

- Stablecoin payments that are faster, cheaper & enterprise-ready 🪙⚡

- Part of Stripe’s grand plan — after acquiring Bridge ($1.1B) & Privy 🏗️

- Gives Stripe control of the stablecoin payments stack 🛠️

📜 Timing is Perfect

- The U.S. just passed the GENIUS Act, giving regulatory clarity to stablecoins 🇺🇸
