Stable, which raised $28 million in July from Bitfinex and Hack VC, is a layer-1 blockchain built for stablecoins.
Its design centers on efficiency in peer-to-peer payments, remittances, and cross-border transfers.
The network highlights features such as real-dollar settlement, sub-second transaction finality, and gas-free transfers using Tether’s USDT as the native gas token.
In addition to USDT, Stable is linked to USDT0, a cross-chain liquidity stablecoin developed by Everdawn Labs, though it remains unclear which serves as the default gas token.
PayPal Ventures said its investment reflects a focus on emerging markets where dollar-based payments can have the greatest impact.
Launched in 2023 with Paxos, PYUSD has grown to a market cap of about $1.4 billion, ranking as the 11th largest stablecoin by CoinGecko data.
