MoneyGram is deepening its crypto expansion by joining Tempo, the Stripe and Paradigm-backed blockchain focused on stablecoin payments and financial infrastructure.
The company was named Tempo’s “Anchor Remittance Validator,” giving it a key role in validating remittance transactions and supporting stablecoin settlement flows across the network.
Tempo is a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for stablecoin payments, swaps, and institutional financial activity. The project officially launched its mainnet earlier this year after raising a massive $500 million Series A round.
MoneyGram joins an initial validator group that also includes Stripe, Visa, and Zodia Custody.
According to Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang, Tempo is focused on building blockchain infrastructure for real-world payments rather than speculative crypto activity.
The network is already targeting use cases including remittances, payroll, corporate treasury management, and retail commerce.
Last month, Tempo introduced a feature called “Zones,” which allows companies to launch permissioned blockchains connected to the main Tempo network for private enterprise operations.
The project is also reportedly working with major firms including OpenAI, Shopify, Anthropic, DoorDash, and Deutsche Bank.
For MoneyGram, the partnership continues its broader crypto strategy focused on stablecoin settlements and blockchain-powered money movement. The company has already partnered with Kraken and Fireblocks as it expands crypto payment infrastructure globally.
