DoorDash Partners With Tempo to Launch Stablecoin Payment System Across 40+ Countries

Gate News message, April 22 — DoorDash announced on April 21 a partnership with Tempo, a blockchain payment platform, to introduce stablecoin payment options for delivery drivers, merchants, and customers across more than 40 countries.

The collaboration aims to accelerate payment cycles, reduce international transfer costs, and provide more flexible payment options for all participants. DoorDash co-founder Andy Wang stated, "If we can get merchants and Dashers their money faster, and do that in a way that's affordable for them, that's a no-brainer for the entire ecosystem."

Tempo is backed by Stripe and crypto venture firm Paradigm and counts other major enterprises among its partners, including Coastal Bank and fintech firm ARQ. DoorDash processed 903 million orders in the final quarter of 2025, totaling $29.7 billion in transaction value.

According to PYMNTS Intelligence data, 88% of companies receiving stablecoins immediately convert them to U.S. dollars, indicating these digital assets are primarily viewed as a payment mechanism rather than an investment vehicle.
