Stable (a new Layer 1 stablechain) recently raised $28M in seed funding led by Bitfinex and Hack VC, with USDT as its native gas. This development mirrors an earlier $24M raise by Plasma (another stablecoin-focused blockchain) led by Framework and Bitfinex, suggesting a potential trend of significant investment in stablecoin infrastructure. Investors should monitor the performance and adoption of both Stable and Plasma as they aim to optimize USDT payments and transfers.
