According to BlockBeats, Stripe is secretly developing a new blockchain named Tempo, aimed at enhancing stablecoin payment systems. A job listing on the Blockchain Association website revealed Stripe's plans, indicating the company is recruiting for product marketing positions related to this new chain. Tempo is described as a high-performance, payment-focused blockchain built in collaboration with Paradigm, compatible with Ethereum, and developed by a five-member team in a confidential mode. Although Fortune sought confirmation from both companies, the job listing has since expired, but the details remain online, suggesting the new chain may soon be launched. Stripe's acquisition strategy has been pivotal in its stablecoin infrastructure development. In October 2024, Stripe acquired Bridge, a stablecoin infrastructure company, for $1.1 billion, followed by the acquisition of wallet developer Privy in June this year. Bridge offers stablecoin issuance and integration capabilities, while Privy enhances wallet experiences. With Tempo's chain-level processing, Stripe aims to control the entire process from token minting to transaction settlement. Future enterprise clients might be able to complete stablecoin transactions through Stripe's interface, potentially bypassing the SWIFT network for instant cross-border settlements. The stablecoin market is gaining traction as a tool to reduce cross-border payment costs, with regulatory frameworks becoming clearer. U.S. President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act in July, marking the first federal-level definition of stablecoin status, alleviating legal concerns for future corporate adoption. Tech giants are increasingly testing stablecoin services, indicating growing demand beyond the crypto-native sphere. Stripe CEO Patrick Collison highlighted the commercial interest in stablecoins during a House hearing in March, stating, "As underlying technology matures, we are seeing meaningful commercial interest in stablecoins." Tempo's launch date remains undisclosed, but the sequence of acquisitions and recruitment signals Stripe's ambition. The next competitive focus in the payment industry may shift from card fees to who can offer the fastest, cheapest, and most reliable stablecoin settlement services. Stripe's decision to build its own blockchain rather than integrate existing public chains underscores its intent to maintain control over every critical path from user interface to validation nodes in the global payment arena. A stablecoin-driven payment restructuring is accelerating.

According to Cointelegraph, SharpLink Gaming, a company transitioning from sports betting marketing to an Ether treasury firm, experienced a decline in its stock value on Monday following the announcement of a substantial $400 million agreement intended to bolster its cryptocurrency assets. The firm disclosed that it has entered into a share purchase agreement with five global institutional investors, aiming to enhance its Ether (ETH) holdings, which are projected to surpass $3 billion in value. The shares are priced at $21.76 each, with the transaction expected to finalize on Tuesday, contingent upon certain conditions. SharpLink Gaming, chaired by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, holds the second-largest ETH reserves among publicly traded companies. It is among numerous firms recently engaging in capital raising efforts to acquire cryptocurrencies. Despite the announcement, SharpLink's stock (SBET) closed down over 6.6% at $22.34 on Monday, though it saw a slight recovery in after-hours trading, rising nearly 3.5% to $23.10. This decline reversed some of the gains from the previous five trading days, where the stock had peaked at over $28 before the drop. The company has seen a significant increase in its stock value, up 17.5% over the last five trading days and 189% year-to-date, following its initial Ether purchases in May. In mid-June, SharpLink's shares plummeted 73% in a single after-hours session after filing to potentially resell 58.7 million common shares, prompting Lubin to clarify on social media that the filing was standard procedure. As of Sunday, SharpLink has accumulated 598,800 ETH, valued at approximately $2.57 billion, with Ether trading around $4,300. Its holdings are second only to BitMine Immersion Technologies, which possesses over 1.15 million ETH worth nearly $5 billion. SharpLink has raised nearly $900 million in the past week, a move co-CEO Joseph Chalom believes highlights market confidence in the company's ETH treasury strategy. He emphasized that the rapid and substantial investments reflect investor trust in SharpLink and the growing recognition of Ethereum's transformative potential. Last Thursday, SharpLink announced a $200 million share purchase agreement with four unnamed institutional investors, following a $264.5 million net proceeds raise through an at-the-market offering earlier in the week. The firm still has approximately $200 million in at-the-market proceeds yet to be utilized. Meanwhile, Ether has rebounded to near its all-time high after a period of underperformance compared to Bitcoin. Although ETH has remained stable over the past day, it has surged 44.5% in the last 30 days, climbing from below $3,000 to above $4,300 on Monday, according to CoinGecko. It is currently trading at $4,278, just over 12% shy of its all-time high of $4,878 reached on November 10, 2021.

According to BlockBeats, Fosun has confirmed its application for a stablecoin license in Hong Kong and has assembled a dedicated team for this purpose. On August 6, Fosun's founder, Guo Guangchang, led key members of the stablecoin team and other executives to meet with Hong Kong's Chief Executive John Lee and Financial Secretary Paul Chan in a single day. Fosun Wealth, a subsidiary of Fosun, has already made strides in the digital asset sector through the Xinglu Technology platform. This includes participating in the distribution of tokenized products from the Huaxia Fund and developing a Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization platform. According to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's schedule, interested institutions could begin contacting regulators after August 1 and must submit their license application materials by September 30. As of the time of reporting, Fosun has not provided any comments on the matter.
