As Stripe pushes further into crypto with its planned blockchain Tempo, the fintech giant is getting a heavyweight to lead the project. Matt Huang, the cofounder and managing partner at the influential crypto venture firm Paradigm, will serve as Tempo’s first CEO, according to three sources familiar with the project. Huang is already a Stripe board member.
Huang will stay in his role at Paradigm, according to one of the sources, who, like the others, was not authorized to speak about the matter publicly.
