"Getting The Fortune 500 Onchain is The Primary Goal"
Dan Romero, who leads go-to-market at Tempo, joins Sam Ewen with a 12-year crypto perspective that stretches from the early days at Coinbase to building Farcaster to now focusing entirely on stablecoin payment rails. He breaks down why these three things: regulation, infrastructure, and distribution, have finally aligned to make real world crypto adoption possible, and why Tempo's betting on being the best payments chain rather than a general purpose blockchain.
