@MoonPay has partnered with @Tempo to deploy $USDC.e and $PathUSD through its Ramp and Virtual Account systems globally, making MoonPay the official fiat on-ramp for the Tempo ecosystem. The deal also brings MoonPay Headless directly into the Tempo Wallet, letting users switch between fiat and digital currencies in a single step.
Tempo is no ordinary blockchain project. Incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, Tempo was built from the ground up for enterprise payment teams rather than general-purpose trading or DeFi.The network is engineered to handle more than 100,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality.Tempo has teamed with a handful of major firms for early design collaboration and payments use cases, including Visa, Shopify, and OpenAI. More recently, DoorDash announced plans to use the Stripe-backed blockchain to pay its delivery workers in stablecoins.
Settlement with stablecoins can be done in seconds, reducing the foreign currency spreads and intermediary fees that typically slow cross-border payments.DoorDash cited Tempo's "payments focus and enterprise readiness" as the primary reason for choosing it over competing stablecoin infrastructure options.
By becoming the official on-ramp for the Tempo ecosystem, MoonPay plugs a key gap in the network's user journey. Deploying $USDC.e and $PathUSD within its Ramp and Virtual Account systems means that retail users, not just enterprises, can now move money onto the Tempo network with minimal friction. The integration of MoonPay Headless into the Tempo Wallet is designed to make that transition seamless, requiring no separate steps or third-party redirects to convert fiat into digital currency.
The partnership reflects a broader trend of established payment infrastructure players converging on Tempo as a shared settlement layer. Visa is an active validator on the network, Mastercard is a program partner, and global banks are building tokenized settlement infrastructure on top of it. Adding MoonPay's on-ramp capabilities to that stack further closes the loop between traditional finance and on-chain stablecoin payments.
