Maple Finance Brings Institutional Yield Opportunities to Tempo's Fintech Infrastructure

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Maple, the leading onchain asset manager, and Tempo, the Stripe- and Paradigm-incubated payments blockchain, announced an integration to make Maple's syrupUSDC available to fintechs building on Tempo's network.

The integration gives Tempo's enterprise fintech clients direct access to institutional-grade yield opportunities on stablecoins, embedded natively within the infrastructure stack where they are already building. For fintechs looking to offer stablecoin earn products to their customers, syrupUSDC provides yield opportunities backed by Maple's institutional lending program without requiring additional sourcing or custom development.

Fintechs building on Tempo can now offer their end customers yield opportunities on stablecoin balances through a single token, a single integration, and a single source. The active loan underwriting, collateral management, and margin calls are handled through the Maple smart contract protocol, allowing fintechs to make fewer risk decisions and write less code than building a comparable solution in-house.

"Every fintech will offer yield on stablecoin balances within the next two years. Tempo gives us a direct path to the fintechs shaping that future, and syrupUSDC gives their clients an easy, clear and transparent way to access stablecoin yield opportunities." Sid Powell, CEO, Maple

“We're seeing increasing demand from companies that want to offer their customers yield opportunities on stablecoin balances, but don't want to deal with the complexity of standing up a lending operation to do so. We're excited for Maple to make it easier for companies building on Tempo to offer earn products, handling the underwriting and risk, so it comes down to a single integration.” Eric Kang, GTM, Tempo

The integration is live and is available to fintechs building on Tempo today. syrupUSDC is available only to eligible persons in permitted jurisdictions and is not offered to U.S. persons or where prohibited. Returns are variable, not guaranteed, and capital is at risk. See further disclaimers below.
