Stablecoins can take the fast lane in the global finance landscape — Here’s how

A new network is seeking to claim the role of tomorrow’s stablecoin rails. Neura, a blockchain designed to eliminate barriers that hold down stablecoin adoption, is betting big on the need for a network different from those proposed by fintech giants and stablecoin issuers.

Cryptocurrencies were invented to be a digital cash system free from a central authority. But, major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) are predominantly used as a store of value, and constant fluctuations in their price deem them an unfit option for money transfers.

As tools pegged to fiat money — therefore with stable value — stablecoins dominate the current blockchain-based payments landscape, and even rival traditional payment giants like Visa or Mastercard. Stablecoins recorded a settlement value of $43 trillion in the last 12 months, while the yearly volume of Visa stands at just below $16 trillion. Data reveal that what was once a niche corner of crypto has become a powerful force in global finance.

Ethereum is home to over 54% of stablecoins, with the rest mainly circulating on general-purpose blockchains as well. This results in critical scalability and security issues, and solutions created so far have failed to offer an inclusive infrastructure that actually enables consistent high throughput and lower fees.

Neura has taken a different approach as a sovereign, neutral physical infrastructure layer built exclusively for stablecoins and sustainable DeFi liquidity.

Blockchain designed with stablecoins in mind

Most blockchains today treat stablecoins as just another token class, but Neura flips that model on its head. Instead of competing for blockspace with gaming assets, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) or speculative trading, Neura was designed with one focus: stablecoins.

It is a network that owns every layer of its infrastructure, from the institutional-grade bare-metal servers and private fiber lines to the validator set itself. That independence removes the usual bottlenecks, giving stablecoin transactions sub-second finality, predictable costs and a dedicated lane of liquidity untouched by outside traffic.

Cost has been a stumbling block for stablecoin adoption. On Ethereum and other multipurpose chains, transaction fees swing wildly with network congestion. Neura sidesteps that problem with ultra-low gas fees, keeping payments consistent whether you’re moving $10 or $10 million. For businesses or institutions, the ability to send value without worrying about fee spikes is more than a perk — it’s a prerequisite for scaling.

Regulation is the other side of the equation. US policymakers have warmed to stablecoins as a way to reinforce dollar dominance, but that openness comes with stricter compliance expectations. Neura bakes compliance into its protocol, embedding governance and enforcement tools directly at the network level. Features like programmable geo-fencing ensure stablecoin circulation respects jurisdictional rules, a step that makes the platform more viable for institutional use.

By combining sovereign infrastructure with speed, low costs and compliance-ready rails, Neura aims to be a neutral foundation for the next phase of digital finance. It’s neither a closed garden controlled by a single issuer nor a permissioned fintech replica of SWIFT. Instead, it strives to be the dedicated backbone that lets stablecoins finally operate at the scale their demand has already proven.

To the live testnet

Neura has launched its public testnet on Oct. 1 and announced some of the protocols expected to be in the ecosystem, from infrastructure to trading, gaming and DeFi.

“Stablecoins mark one of the most profound shifts in digital finance, but they’ve been riding on borrowed rails. Their impact has been constrained by legacy infrastructure that compromises speed, neutrality and resilience,” said Tyler Sloan, co-founder of Neura, adding:

“Neura brings the invisible infrastructure into the open, a sovereign backbone designed purely for digital dollars. This finally provides an impartial, high-performance foundation for trillions in global value transfer.”

Neura sets out to give stablecoins a home built for their scale, speed and security. Its vision is a network where digital dollars settle instantly and reliably, anywhere in the world.
