Tempo has selected Kraken as its inaugural US centralized exchange partner, significantly enhancing the infrastructure for payments companies, neobanks, and stablecoin issuers. This collaboration allows users to access Kraken’s comprehensive institutional services, including deep liquidity, over-the-counter (OTC) trading, and on/off-ramps through a single relationship. With USDT0 and USDC.e deposits and withdrawals now live on Kraken, it becomes the first major US exchange to support this stablecoin chain natively. The partnership is designed to facilitate the movement of money on-chain at scale, catering to the growing demand from payment platforms and remittance providers. Kraken’s services include compliance features like Know Your Business (KYB) and transaction monitoring, which alleviate the regulatory burden for Tempo’s clients. Additionally, qualified custody for stablecoin reserves is managed by Kraken Financial, ensuring a robust regulatory framework. This partnership positions both companies to address the increasing need for credible and scalable on-chain payment solutions.
