Ah, the magical world of crypto, where money grows on blockchains and everyone’s a wizard with a wallet! 🧙♂️✨ Behold, the plucky little startup Commonware has just snagged a cool $25 million in a funding round led by Tempo, the payments-focused blockchain network that’s as shiny as a gold coin in a dragon’s hoard. 🪙 This isn’t just any old funding round, mind you-it’s a grand spectacle of blockchain bravado, with Stripe and Paradigm waving their wands and shouting, “Accio, scalability!”
According to the whispers in the Fortune teacup ☕, this deal is as noteworthy as a giant peach rolling into town. Tempo, you see, is the brainchild of fintech giant Stripe and crypto venture firm Paradigm, who apparently decided that September was the perfect month to conjure a $5 billion valuation out of thin air. 🌪️ Commonware, ever the humble hero, refused to spill the beans on its other investors, leaving us all to wonder who else is tossing gold into the cauldron.
What does Commonware do, you ask? Oh, just the usual-crafting open-source software that lets other companies build their own blockchains, because why buy a castle when you can build one yourself? 🏰 Their CEO, in a moment of pure Dahl-esque wisdom, declared to Fortune, “Usage and distribution are the real treasures, not mere coins!” 🗝️ Partnerships, it seems, are the golden tickets in this chocolate factory of a startup.
Tempo, the $5 billion unicorn 🦄, isn’t just any old backer. With its focus on stablecoins and real-world payments, it’s like the Willy Wonka of blockchain, promising a world where money flows as smoothly as a river of chocolate. Stripe’s CEO, Patrick Collison, chimed in, calling Tempo an “independent company,” which is just a fancy way of saying, “We’re not hogging the spotlight-much.”
Stablecoins: The New Golden Tickets? 🎟️
Payments, the unsung hero of blockchain, are finally having their moment in the sun ☀️-or should we say, the spotlight of a giant, glowing stablecoin? With stablecoin adoption soaring faster than a glass elevator, seven crypto companies have banded together to form the Blockchain Payments Consortium. Their mission? To make crosschain transactions as smooth as a Dahl plot twist. “No more fragmented experiences!” they cry, waving their wands in unison. 🪄
Meanwhile, Bitcoin.com and Concordium have teamed up to introduce age verification for stablecoin payments, because apparently, even crypto needs a bouncer. 🚫👶 “Safety first!” they declare, as new compliance laws loom like the BFG’s shadow.
The stablecoin market, growing faster than a giant’s appetite, is now expected to hit $4 trillion by 2030, thanks to the US GENIUS Act. Citigroup, ever the optimist, is already counting its coins. 💰
