USDT finally has its own chain: Stablechain officially launched!
We use USDT every day for transfers, interactions, holding coins, arbitrage… but have you ever thought:
Why has the largest and most widely circulated stablecoin never had its own chain?
Now this gap has been filled - Stablechain is officially online!
USDT as native Gas: You read that right, transaction fees can be directly paid with USDT, significantly lowering the usage threshold for new users and businesses.
Extremely low cost + second-level settlement: Official data shows that Stablechain's average confirmation time is <2s, with fees under $0.001, making it perfect for stablecoin daily payment solutions like Solana.
Safety and compliance + cross-chain interoperability: Utilizing components like Tether's USDT0, LayerZero, etc., Stablechain supports multi-chain interaction, is highly composable, has a low development threshold, and integrates quickly.
Clear positioning: This is not about trading chains, it’s about building financial infrastructure for stablecoins, focusing on real scenarios such as payments, e-commerce, cross-border transactions, and clearing and settlement.
Currently, USDT's market cap exceeds $112 billion, firmly holding the position as the largest stablecoin in the crypto world, with an average of over 15 million on-chain transfers daily, yet it has long relied on third-party public chains (such as Ethereum, Tron, Solana, etc.) for operation.
This means: Stablechain is the decentralized autonomous chain of the Tether ecosystem, no longer dependent on others.
The core of Stablechain is not about who is faster, but about who can truly make stablecoins usable, especially in cross-border payments, off-chain settlements, and enterprise applications.
The essence of this chain is not to create hype but for Tether to build an on-chain settlement system for USDT, a decentralized version of crypto Visa.
