Tempo has successfully raised $500M in a series A round at a $5B valuation.

The new L1 blockchain dedicated to making payments move faster and merging the bridge between crypto-friendly users and TradFi players has revealed a substantial amount of capital raised, led by Greenoaks and Thrive Capital, as well as participation from Ribbit Capital, Sequoia Capital and SV Angel. This makes it one of the largest raises for a crypto project and comes from an active 2025 crypto VC scene.

However, there is also brewing concern among the industry regarding the true nature of Tempo's permissionless and decentralised mission, with its close affiliation with Stripe and Paradigm, as well as more recent news of seasoned talent being recruited from other prominent ecosystems to focus on Tempo's development. Dankrad Feist from the Ethereum Foundation announced his new role on X:



Ethereum currently has the largest supply of stablecoins around $160B, so the competition for the best chain to accommodate the new age of payments and stablecoin transfers continues. Last month, the Tempo team had also announced a series of core infrastructure partners across analytics, DeFi and other sectors to deliver on their mission and guarantee a better user experience for all new users.
