Bitfinex-Backed ‘Stable’ Blockchain to Use USDT for Gas Fees

Backed by crypto exchange Bitfinex and supported by USDT0, a Tether-affiliated firm that integrates the stablecoin into otherwise unsupported blockchains, the network is designed with institutional finance in mind.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino is advising the initiative, further strengthening ties between the project and the world’s largest stablecoin.

Enterprise-Focused With Speed in Mind

Unlike most retail-facing chains, Stable is built to serve financial institutions, not everyday users. One of its standout features will be the introduction of “enterprise lanes” — transaction channels optimized for low-latency, high-throughput execution.

The project’s developers point to USDT’s sheer volume to justify the need for a purpose-built blockchain:

“USDT alone settles over $100 billion daily,” they wrote on X. “However, the current infrastructure is volatile, costly, and fragmented.” Stable seeks to address those concerns by offering a more predictable and efficient environment for stablecoin-powered transfers.

Tether’s Role Grows Beyond Liquidity

The launch of Stable would mark another evolution in Tether’s utility, shifting it from a widely used liquidity and trading tool to core infrastructure for blockchain transaction mechanics. By allowing USDT to serve as gas, Stable positions itself to attract fintech platforms and banks looking for reliable, fiat-pegged throughput.

Details on mainnet launch timelines and technical specs have yet to be disclosed, but industry observers are watching closely. If Stable delivers on its promises, it could become a go-to network for institutions wanting speed and settlement predictability—without volatility.
