$STABLE Debuts on Major Exchanges — But Can the Momentum Hold?

A lot of new Layer-1 projects are trying to rethink how stablecoin payments should work, and it’s been interesting watching which ones actually bring something different to the table. With the recent wave of listings this week, one name that keeps popping up is Stablechain and its token, $STABLE.

$STABLE is the native token of Stablechain, a USDT-focused Layer-1 built specifically for payments. The chain uses an unusual fee design where users pay in USDT while validators operate using $STABLE, making the token more of a coordination and growth asset rather than a simple gas token. The project has been pushing integrations around payment processors, on-chain finance, and RWAs, and its presale community grew pretty aggressively—early projections even suggest it could mirror CELO’s early 29% holder growth over the first 90 days.

As of today (Dec 8, 2025), several major exchanges opened trading for the $STABLE/USDT pair, with some also launching futures and promo campaigns. Bitget, for example, rolled out a launchpool offering 47,857,000 STABLE as rewards. Whether this momentum will sustain or fade after the listing hype is still the big question, but the activity around it today is definitely noticeable.
