Tempo also announced it’s launching a Stablecoin Advisory.
DoorDash is working with stablecoin-focused blockchain Tempo to build stablecoin-powered payouts to merchants and Dashers across more than 40 countries, Tempo announced in an X post today, April 21.
The delivery giant, which has been a Tempo design partner since the project was first announced in September 2025, is now moving into production, targeting faster and cheaper settlements across a three-sided marketplace that previously relied on fragmented regional rails.
Alongside the DoorDash news, Tempo, which is incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, announced that it’s launching Stablecoin Advisory, a consulting practice staffed by payments specialists, banking experts, and engineers to help other enterprises navigate the same path.
The advisory service covers use case scoping, solution architecture, and direct engineering support, with access to Tempo’s network of custody, compliance, and on/off-ramp partners.
Tempo also shared development updates from its other design partners today in the same X post. ARQ (formerly DolarApp, backed by Sequoia and Founders Fund) is migrating its cross-border payment infrastructure to Tempo to serve over 2 million customers across Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil, with $10 billion in annualized volume.
Coastal Financial is pairing its existing institutional compliance messaging with stablecoin settlement on Tempo to cut cross-border transfers from days to minutes for its network of fintech clients.
Meanwhile, per today’s X post, Stripe — one of the two firms behind Tempo alongside Paradigm — is using the network as core blockchain infrastructure for its stablecoin money management capabilities, enabling millions of businesses to hold, send, and receive stablecoins across more than 100 countries.
Last week, Tempo unveiled Tempo Zones, private execution environments where only transaction counterparties see the details. The feature is designed for enterprises with use cases like payroll and treasury settlement, and directly based on requirements from Tempo’s design partners.
The announcements reflect a broader shift in institutional appetite for stablecoin infrastructure.
Also last week, Singapore’s Gulf Bank recently launched a Solana USDC mint and redeem service for high-net-worth clients, underscoring that traditional financial institutions are moving beyond pilots into live products.
On the retail user side, yesterday, self-custodial wallet Tangem announced the global rollout of its Visa-powered payments tool, which lets users spend USDC via virtual Visa cards.
