As of November 2025, the cost to move $10,000 in stablecoins is approaching $0. On most chains it’s sub $0.01, settles instantly, runs 24/7, and with the Brale API it’s the same integration pattern no matter which chain you pick.

Since our last update, we've also added support for Canton, Spark, and XRP Ledger - all offering sub $0.01 transaction fees.

Stablecoins are 5X-1000X cheaper than traditional payment methods

Stablecoin payments on all leading blockchains surpass traditional payment method fees, settle nearly instantly, and benefit from 24/7 always on, global operations.

Almost all supported chains offer sub $0.01 transaction fees up to 100X cheaper than ACH, with stablecoin payments on Canton, Spark, XRP Ledger, Stellar, Celo, Hedera, and Solana approaching the cost of relational database updates.

The costs of stablecoin payments are low enough that the treasury economics of a stablecoin program can effectively subsidize programs on Canton, Base, Solana, Stellar, and many blockchains.
