LayerZero Joins Stable for Cross-Chain Expansion

Cross-chain messaging protocol LayerZero just secured major stablecoin backing—unlocking seamless liquidity movement across fragmented blockchains.

Why This Matters

Stablecoins act as the lifeblood of DeFi. LayerZero's new partnership injects reliable, dollar-pegged assets directly into its interoperability layer. That means developers can build cross-chain applications without worrying about volatile bridging assets—users get predictable value transfer.

The Technical Edge

LayerZero bypasses traditional bridges with its lightweight message-passing protocol. It doesn't hold funds; it verifies state. This cuts counterparty risk and slashes transaction times. The stablecoin integration now adds a familiar settlement layer—reducing cognitive load for mainstream adoption.

Market Implications

Cross-chain volume could spike. Projects stuck in single-chain silos suddenly have a clear path to multichain deployment—with stable liquidity already flowing. Expect a rush of migrations and new launches leveraging this infrastructure. (Another win for infrastructure plays over speculative tokens—but don't tell the degens.)

Looking Ahead

This move signals a maturation phase for interoperability. The focus shifts from mere connectivity to quality of connection. LayerZero isn't just linking chains—it's standardizing the financial rails between them. The race isn't about who has the most chains; it's about who moves value best.

Key Highlights

• Stable selects LayerZero as its interoperability partner for multi-chain stablecoin movement.
• LayerZero expands OFT and Vault adoption through Reya, enabling tokens to move across 150+ chains.
• Enterprise interest grows as PayPal integrates LayerZero to scale PYUSD mobility.

LayerZero has announced a new partnership with Stable, a project building infrastructure for moving stablecoins across blockchains.

The collaboration, revealed on December 5, designates LayerZero as Stable’s official interoperability provider, connecting the network to major ecosystems and enabling cross-chain asset mobility from day one.

Stable will use LayerZero to MOVE assets like USDC.e, WETH, frxUSD, and USDT0 across chains as it launches its own network. Stargate will handle swaps with Aori execution, and all OFT transfers will move 1:1 with zero slippage to reduce friction and support high-volume liquidity.

Stable is set to launch with LayerZero powering its interoperability.

Day one expansion assets include:

• @StargateFinance: USDC.e, WETH
• @fraxfinance: frxUSD, sfrxUSD
• @USDT0_to: USDT0, XAUT0
• @Theo_Network: thBILL
• @ether_fi: weETH https://t.co/RgGQvMIq6G pic.twitter.com/Gn5YIbD9ON

What changes for investors

Stable’s integration with LayerZero introduces several updates that affect token mobility and cross-chain access:

• Expanded asset support: Multiple stablecoins and yield-bearing assets available at launch.
• 1:1 OFT transfers: Zero-slippage swaps across chains via Stargate.
• Unified liquidity routing: Aori handles execution to improve reliability and settlement.

For investors, the launch provides broader access to stable assets and lower bridging costs, with LayerZero handling the communication LAYER normally managed by traditional bridges.

OFT and OVault expansion

The Stable rollout follows LayerZero’s announcement that Reya, a perps DEX on an ethereum ZK rollup, will adopt its OFT and Vault standards. Under the standard, REYA and sREYA will be mobile across 150+ chains, giving users unified balances and reducing reliance on older bridging systems.

The move strengthens Reya’s link to Ethereum security while improving asset portability across LayerZero’s networks. It also reflects LayerZero’s push to make OFTs the default interoperability standard, aiming to eliminate wrapped-token fragmentation and streamline transfers. This shift is driving wider adoption among DeFi and infrastructure projects.

Enterprise demand grows

Enterprises are adopting LayerZero as well. In September, PayPal expanded PYUSD to more blockchains via Stargate Hydra, launching PYUSD0 on networks like Aptos, Avalanche, Sei, Tron, and Stable to push the stablecoin toward availability across 140+ chains.

Legacy bridged assets such as BYUSD (Berachain) and USDF (Flow) will also migrate to PYUSD0, keeping fungibility across chains. LayerZero said the expansion marks another step toward global stablecoin interoperability.

LayerZero’s work with Stable, rising enterprise use, and growing OFT adoption show how interoperability is becoming central to DeFi and corporate digital-asset strategies. As institutions move toward multi-chain liquidity, secure cross-chain messaging is expected to influence which networks emerge as Core infrastructure.
