When gas is stable, everything else can scale.
Stable Launches a Blockchain Where USDT Powers Everything
A new blockchain called Stable just launched with a bold model:
- USDT is the native gas (no second token)
- Zero fees for peer-to-peer USDT transfers
- Smart contracts run on stablecoins
- No token volatility, FX middlemen, or bridges
- Fiat ramps and custody integrations built in
- SDKs for apps, wallets, and institutions
Stable is backed by Bitfinex and Tether, two heavyweight players in crypto. Bitfinex is one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, founded in 2012 and operated by Hong Kong-based iFinex Inc. Tether (USDT), also owned by iFinex, is the largest stablecoin in the world with a market cap of $153.8 billion as of June 5, 2025.
The vision behind Stable is to build a dollar-native layer for modern finance — supporting remittances, treasury flows, B2B payments, and programmable credit without relying on speculative tokens or legacy rails. Its internal testnet is live and onboarding builders.
Why This Shift Is Worth Watching
Stablecoins now settle over $100 billion daily, overtaking Visa in volume, but most still run on chains built for tokens, not dollars. Stable flips the model. It’s not a chain with a token. It’s a programmable dollar network.
That means predictable fees, native compliance, and lower onboarding friction, with no gas speculation or FX intermediaries. It also signals a broader shift: from tokens as assets to tokens as infrastructure.
The rails are being rebuilt. If you’re betting on the next layer, look at where the dollars flow.
