Key Notes
- The bridge enables efficient stablecoin transfers across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Solana, Near, and Tron.
- Competitive solver networks power the platform to secure optimal rates for users through NEAR’s chain-abstraction technology.
- Initial support covers USDT with plans to integrate USDC, USD1, and USDH as additional stablecoin options.

A new standard for stablecoin trading is here.

According to a post by StableFlow’s recently activated official account, the platform offers the “best quotes for transfer amounts up to $1 million, unprecedented efficiency in a single step, and unmatched fees, costing just 1 basis point (0.01%).”
Moreover, the post explains how “under the hood” a network of solvers competes to execute the bridge transaction, getting the best quote for the “cross-chain transfer intent as cost-efficiently as possible.”
The stablecoin industry is evolving into a trillion-dollar market, yet transferring assets across chains remains a fragmented experience.
This ends today. @DapDapMeUp is launching StableFlow, a new app designed for low-fee, stablecoin bridging at scale.https://t.co/zwQ4Ew9ccp pic.twitter.com/UGMO0w5se0

At first, StableFlow only supports Tether’s USDT, with plans to add Circle’s USDC, Trump-backed USD1, and Hyperliquid’s USDH.
Stablecoin Cross-Chain Execution via NEAR Intents
NEAR Intents is quickly becoming a relevant protocol for cross-chain transactions, recognized by prominent names from different projects. Solana’s and Zcash’s advocate Mert, Helium CEO, highlighted NEAR Intents as a tool providing more utility for “encrypted money.”
Chainyoda, Wallet Connect supervisor and multi-project contributor, called NEAR Intents “proof of value” for what NEAR’s co-founder Illia Polosukhin has built.
We are talking about ZCash but not enough about @nearprotocol intents and how Illia has just hit on proof of value of what he has been building

Meanwhile, Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly, shared an image of NEAR Intent’s cross-chain daily volume growth on October 8. Dragonfly is a leading cross-border crypto venture fund, with disclosed positions in selected projects, including NEAR.

As of this writing, the intent-based protocol has executed $1.84 billion in nearly 3.70 million swaps across 20 blockchains and 121 supported assets, according to a Dune Analytics dashboard. Out of that, $825 million was executed in the last 30 days alone. USDT is, by far, the most swapped asset by 24-hour volume, followed by the competing stablecoin, USDC.

On October 3, the total stablecoin market cap surpassed the $300 billion mark, and Tether holds 58% of its market share.
While stablecoins continue to prove solid product market fit in both the decentralized and the traditional finance environments, bridging between chains has been one of the most challenging touchpoints to solve, which NEAR now tackles with its chain-abstraction stack that includes the Chain Signatures SDK and an MPC Network of solvers. Aptos was one of the most recent additions to this network, as Coinspeaker reported on September 3.
