Food‑delivery giant DoorDash taps Tempo to bring stablecoin payments to its driver network

Delivery‑tech powerhouse DoorDash is tapping Tempo, the layer 1 blockchain backed by Stripe and venture firm Paradigm, to bring stablecoin payments to its global network of drivers and merchants as corporate adoption of blockchain payments accelerates, The Information reported Tuesday.

The partnership was also shared with Fortune alongside Tempo’s launch of a stablecoin advisory service designed to help businesses and financial institutions identify use cases and integrate stablecoin payments.

Tempo, which raised $500 million at a $5 billion valuation in October before formally launching in March, is already working with a broad roster of partners including Visa, Fifth Third Bank, Stripe and Howard Hughes Holdings to bring payments operations onto its blockchain.

ARQ, a Latin American financial services platform with over two million customers across Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil, is also processing more than $10 billion in annualized volume on stablecoin rails through Tempo.

Stablecoin transaction volumes reached a historic $33 trillion in 2025, driven by 72% year-on-year growth in B2B settlements. As of April 2026, the total stablecoin market capitalization has surged roughly $315 billion, reflecting massive inflows following the clarity provided by federal legislation.

Meta, X, and Google have all explored stablecoin integrations. The US GENIUS Act, now signed into law, provides a regulatory framework that has made corporate treasury departments considerably less nervous about touching digital dollars.
