Stripe’s Tempo Blockchain Scores Major Wins: Visa and Deutsche Bank Join as Partners

Stripe's enterprise blockchain just pulled off the institutional coup of the year—Visa and Deutsche Bank are now officially on board with Tempo.

The infrastructure play

This isn't just another partnership announcement. Tempo's positioning itself as the backbone for global settlement—cutting out correspondent banks, bypassing legacy delays, and slashing cross-border friction. Visa brings the network scale; Deutsche Bank adds the European heavyweight credibility.

Why it matters beyond the hype

Institutions aren't here for the 'decentralized dream'—they're here because blockchains balance sheets faster and cheaper. Tempo's appeal? Real-time settlement without the traditional overhead. Still, watching banks cozy up to distributed ledgers feels like watching arsonists invest in fire extinguishers.

Bottom line: The rails for global money movement are being rewired—and Stripe's holding the wrench.
