Kraken now supports deposits and withdrawals of USDT0 and USDC.e on the Tempo network, with native chain support. This makes Kraken the first U.S. centralized exchange to support Tempo, giving fintechs, neobanks, payment companies, and stablecoin issuers building on Tempo access to Kraken’s full stack.
Clients can move stablecoins on Tempo with sub-second settlement and pay network fees directly in USD stablecoins, with no separate gas token required.
Funding
USDT0 and USDC.e funding via Tempo is now live. Deposit link below.
Make sure to deposit your tokens into networks supported by Kraken. Deposits made using other networks will be lost.
About Tempo
Tempo is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain for payments, incubated by Paradigm and Stripe and shaped with input from category-defining fintechs, banks, and commerce platforms. Designed for real-world payments at scale, Tempo offers settlement in roughly 0.5 seconds seconds with no re-orgs, dedicated payment lanes for guaranteed low fees even during peak activity, and stablecoin-native gas — letting users pay transaction fees in USD stablecoins instead of a separate gas token.
This makes Tempo well-suited for moving stablecoins at scale across cross-border payments, payroll, embedded finance, institutional money movement, and other payments use cases.
Please note:
- Trading via Kraken App and Instant Buy will be available once the liquidity conditions are met (when a sufficient number of buyers and sellers have entered the market for their orders to be efficiently matched).

Will Kraken make more assets available?
Yes! But our policy is to never reveal any details until shortly before launch – including which assets we are considering. All of Kraken’s available tokens can be found here, and all future tokens will be announced on our Listings Roadmap and social media profiles. Our client engagement specialists cannot answer any questions about which assets we may be making available in the future.
Although the term “stablecoin” is commonly used, there is no guarantee that the asset will maintain a stable value in relation to the value of the reference asset when traded on secondary markets or that the reserve of assets, if there is one, will be adequate to satisfy all redemptions.
