DoorDash plans to introduce stablecoin payments for users, merchants and delivery drivers through an integration with Tempo’s blockchain infrastructure spanning more than 40 countries.
Tempo said the partnership will enable faster payouts, lower cross-border costs and more flexible transaction options using digital currencies within the food delivery platform.
“If we can get merchants and Dashers their money faster, and do that in a way that's affordable for them, that's a no-brainer for the entire ecosystem,”
Said DoorDash co-founder, Andy Wang.
The integration forms part of a broader push by Tempo alongside Stripe, Paradigm, Coastal Bank and ARQ to expand stablecoin-powered payment infrastructure into mainstream financial and commercial use cases.
The development marks a significant step in crypto adoption for everyday transactions as one of the largest delivery platforms globally moves to incorporate blockchain-based settlement rails.
DoorDash previously reported 903 million orders in the fourth quarter of 2025 with a total order value of $29.7 billion and is due to release its first-quarter 2026 results on May 6.
The move comes amid growing institutional interest in stablecoins, with Stripe acquiring Bridge for $1.1 billion in 2024 and major payment firms like Visa and Mastercard expanding their own blockchain settlement capabilities.
