**_Kraken now supports deposits and withdrawals of USDT0 on Tempo, making it the first U.S. exchange to natively support the network._**

Kraken clients can now move USDT0 on Tempo: sub-second settlement, fees paid in stablecoins, no separate gas token required.

USDT0 is designed to move across networks while remaining redeemable 1:1 for the underlying USDT reserve. On Tempo, dollar-denominated value moves between Kraken and Tempo wallets and applications with deterministic finality in roughly 0.6 seconds.

For exchanges, stablecoin transfers are a core funding rail. Clients expect money to move quickly and at low cost. Tempo was built for that: a payments-first Layer 1 with stablecoin-native fees, dedicated payment lanes for predictable costs during high activity, and settlement finality without re-orgs.

For Kraken clients, stablecoin funding is faster and simpler, without the overhead of managing a separate gas asset.

## What's next

Kraken and Tempo will continue to explore additional use cases. More partner spotlights from the Tempo ecosystem coming soon.
