DoorDash to offer stablecoin payouts via Tempo rail
DoorDash will let dashers, merchants and customers settle payments with stablecoins through a Tempo blockchain integration in more than 40 countries.
Tempo and DoorDash announced an integration that will let dashers, merchants and customers settle transactions with stablecoins on a Tempo blockchain payment rail. The companies said the feature will be available to users in more than 40 countries.
Tempo described the integration as a stablecoin-powered payment infrastructure built with partners including Stripe, investor Paradigm, Coastal Bank and fintech ARQ. The firms are developing a rail that supports transactions and settlements using stablecoins on the DoorDash platform.
Tempo highlighted faster payouts and lower cross-border costs as the main benefits. The blockchain noted dashers and merchants could receive funds more quickly and at lower cost than some existing payment rails, and that customers and businesses would have more settlement options across participating countries.
DoorDash co-founder Andy Wang described the option as ‘a no-brainer for the entire ecosystem’ and said faster, more affordable payouts would benefit merchants and dashers.
Tempo did not list which stablecoins the rail will support, how on-ramps and off-ramps will operate in each country, or a specific rollout schedule. Tempo and DoorDash said they are working with Coastal Bank and ARQ to provide regulatory and banking connectivity where required.
The integration follows other payments-industry moves into stablecoins. In 2024, Stripe agreed to buy a stablecoin platform for about $1.1 billion. Mastercard reached an agreement to acquire BVNK for a reported $1.8 billion, and Visa expanded its stablecoin settlement services to support additional tokens.
DoorDash reported delivering 903 million orders in the fourth quarter of 2025, with an aggregate order value of $29.7 billion. The company is scheduled to release first-quarter 2026 earnings on May 6, when it may provide more detail on how new payment options affect its operations and finances.
The companies said the integration is part of broader industry work testing tokenized payment rails intended to speed settlement and reduce friction for cross-border transfers, alongside ongoing efforts to align with banks and regulators.
