In this episode of WTR Small-Cap Spotlight, Brian Mehler, CEO of Stable, joins host Tim Gerdeman, Vice Chair, Co-Founder, and CMO of Water Tower Research, along with Dr. John Roy, WTR’s Senior Equity Research Analyst. The conversation explores the strategic priorities of Stable, an institutional-grade Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin transactions and global payments. Unlike many general-purpose chains that use volatile gas tokens, Stable is USDT-native, meaning it uses USDT as its native gas token to ensure predictable transaction costs and a stable $1 peg for fees. This approach removes the friction caused by market swings, which can often make transactions on other networks 15% to 20% more expensive during periods of volatility.
