Klarna has become the first digital bank to issue a token on Tempo, Stripe and Paradigm’s new L1 blockchain.
The partnership expands Klarna’s long-running work with Stripe across 26 markets.
CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski says crypto has finally reached the point of being “fast, low-cost, secure, and built for scale,” calling KlarnaUSD the beginning of the company’s crypto journey.
