Stable is a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for stablecoin payments and settlements. It uses a "stablechain" model where USDT is the native gas token. This means users enjoy low fees, predictable payments, and a smooth experience without needing to hold a volatile cryptocurrency just to cover transaction costs. The platform is fully compatible with Ethereum, so developers can use familiar tools to build on it.
Stable is designed for many real-world payment uses. For everyday users, it offers free peer-to-peer USDT transfers and makes low-cost payments easier in emerging markets. For institutions, it can handle thousands of transactions per second, with each transaction confirmed in under a second, making it suitable for large-scale enterprise settlements. The network also supports smart contracts on stablecoins and offers features like asset issuance, DeFi integration, and fiat connectivity. It includes confidential transfers and guaranteed blockspace for priority transactions.
Stable’s public testnet opened in November 2025, and allowed developers to test and deploy on the network. The STABLE token launched in December 2025 and is now listed on over 16 exchanges. The project gained more than 167,000 followers on X in its first year.
In July 2025, Stable announced a $28 million seed round, showing strong investor confidence before the mainnet launch. The $28 million seed round was led by Bitfinex and Hack VC, with Franklin Templeton, Castle Island Ventures, and Nascent also participating. In September 2025, PayPal Ventures joined, adding one of the world’s largest payment companies to Stable’s group of investors. Tether, which issues USDT, is both a key backer and co-creator of the network.
The platform’s native cryptocurrency, $STABLE, has a fixed supply of 100 billion tokens and isn’t used to pay transaction fees. Instead, it supports network security, validator staking, governance, and ecosystem alignment. When holders stake STABLE tokens with validators, those validators can share USDT gas fees from the treasury with stakers. This creates rewards linked directly to network activity instead of token inflation.
You can buy STABLE tokens in several ways, but the easiest is through centralized and decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges.
For large transactions or if you want to buy locked STABLE tokens, Acquire.Fi allows qualified buyers to purchase directly from Stable team members or early token holders. You can either browse existing offers in the OTC Secondary Marketplace or submit a new Buy offer with your preferred valuation and purchase amount.
If you’re a token holder and want to sell STABLE tokens OTC, the same marketplace can help you liquidate your tokens. Simply check existing offers from the marketplace or submit a new Sell form that matches your preferences. The Acquire.Fi team will ensure the offer gets discovered, introduce the counterparties, and facilitate a secure OTC transaction.
