Hot take: @tempo will be great for @Ethereum and terrible for @stripe.
Stripe is about to spend millions onboarding banks and institutions into a unified standard: EVM RPC. Right now they run on 100s of fragmented, legacy tech stacks. Stripe is about to send 1000s of sales reps and technical AMs to upgrade them.
Stripe effectively lowers the switching cost to Ethereum to near zero. And when switching costs collapse, the open ecosystem wins and stripe is rekt.
In the short term, Stripe extracts some enterprise value. In the long run, they’re paving the way for their own disintermediation.
