Stable (STABLE): What It Is, Uses and Risks

Stable is a Layer 1 blockchain that describes itself as purpose-built for the USDT ecosystem. Its central design choice is to use USDT, the dollar-pegged stablecoin, as the native gas token. On most blockchains, fees are paid in a volatile asset such as ETH or BNB, so the cost of a transfer moves with the market. Stable aims to remove that by letting users pay network fees in a dollar-denominated asset.

The project positions the chain for payment processors, DeFi applications, tokenized real-world assets, fintech firms and enterprises. Its stated goals include fast settlement, low-cost cross-border transfers and infrastructure that meets compliance expectations.

It is worth separating two things. Stable is the network, and STABLE is the network's token. STABLE is not a stablecoin and is not pegged to anything. Its price floats freely, and at the time of writing it ranks around 104th by market capitalization. Some general public reporting for this name only describe stablecoins as a category, which is a different topic from this token.

the public information available here describe Stable as the native token of the Stable chain, but they do not spell out exactly what STABLE does inside the system. Because the network uses USDT for gas, STABLE is not the fee token in the way ETH is on Ethereum.

In crypto, the native token of a Layer 1 often serves roles such as securing the network, governance or ecosystem incentives. Those are common patterns, not confirmed details for Stable, so this page does not assume any of them. Readers who want to know whether STABLE is used for staking, validator security, voting or something else should read the project's own documentation and any published tokenomics paper.

It is also unclear from the data when the network or token launched, and the consensus mechanism is not specified here. Treat those as open questions to verify from primary sources before drawing conclusions about how the token fits into the network.

STABLE has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, and the total supply equals that figure. About 18.0 billion tokens were circulating as of 2026-11-05, which is roughly 18% of the maximum. The rest is not yet in circulation, and the data here does not say how it is allocated or when it unlocks.

That gap matters for reading the numbers. As of 2026-11-05 the price was about $0.0283, giving a market capitalization of around $508.8 million based on circulating supply. The fully diluted valuation, which assumes all 100 billion tokens exist at today's price, was about $2.83 billion. The distance between those two figures shows how much supply could still reach the market over time.

If locked tokens belong to the team, investors, a foundation or an ecosystem fund, their release schedules can influence supply and selling pressure. Check the published vesting and allocation details before comparing STABLE to projects with similar headline valuations.

STABLE is listed as the native token of the Stable chain and is also issued on Hyperliquid L1 and on BNB Chain. In practice that means versions of the token exist on more than one network, and you need to confirm which network a given address or exchange deposit uses. Sending tokens on the wrong network can result in permanent loss.

The token is tagged with ecosystems including Hyperliquid, HyperEVM and BNB Chain, as well as categories like Layer 1, infrastructure and payment solutions. Holders generally keep it in a self-custody wallet that supports the relevant network, or leave it on a centralized exchange account.

Trading happens on exchanges and, where a pool exists, on decentralized exchanges on the chains above. As of 2026-11-05, reported 24-hour trading volume was about $12.4 million, which is small next to the fully diluted value. Lower volume can mean wider spreads and larger price moves on bigger orders.

The launch date is not given in the data, so this page does not state one. What the price history does show is a range. The all-time low was about $0.0092 on 2025-12-23, and the all-time high was about $0.0432 on 2026-05-14. As of 2026-11-05 the price sat well above the low and below the high, and it was up about 4% over the previous seven days.

No one-year change is available, which is consistent with a token that has traded for a relatively short period. A young token's history is short, so past ranges say little about how it behaves over longer cycles.

No partnerships, audits, hacks or other notable events are included publicly supplied, and none are claimed here. For a timeline of upgrades, listings or incidents, consult the project's official announcements.

STABLE carries the risks common to a newer Layer 1 token, plus some specific to its design.

Supply overhang. With only about 18% of the maximum supply circulating, future unlocks could add significant supply. The gap between the roughly $508.8 million market cap and the $2.83 billion fully diluted value reflects this.

Dependence on USDT. A chain that uses USDT for gas ties part of its design to one stablecoin issuer. Regulatory action, reserve concerns or access restrictions affecting USDT could affect the network and its users.

Adoption risk. A Layer 1 needs applications, liquidity and users to matter. Many new chains struggle to attract them.

Technical and bridge risk. Because the token exists on several chains, bridges and cross-chain mechanics add extra points of failure. New networks can also have bugs.

Market risk. Daily volume is modest, and prices have moved a lot between the recorded low and high. This page is informational and is not advice to buy or sell.

How you store STABLE depends on which network the tokens sit on. For meaningful amounts, a self-custody wallet where you control the recovery phrase is generally safer than leaving funds on an exchange. A hardware wallet adds protection by keeping private keys offline, provided it supports the network in question.

Some practical habits help:

• Write the recovery phrase on paper or metal and store it offline. Never type it into a website or share it.
• Confirm the network before every transfer, since STABLE exists on Stable, Hyperliquid L1 and BNB Chain.
• Send a small test transaction first when moving a new token or using a new address.
• Verify token contract addresses from the project's official channels, because copycat tokens are common.
• Be wary of approval requests from unfamiliar apps, and revoke token approvals you no longer need.

If you hold it on an exchange, enable two-factor authentication and withdrawal address allowlists where offered.
