Building a stablecoin used to mean picking a blockchain, building the plumbing, and then doing the whole thing over again when someone asked you to support a second chain. Brale thinks that’s the wrong model, and it’s built a protocol to prove it.
The U.S.-regulated stablecoin infrastructure company has unveiled a Tokenization API designed to let enterprises issue and manage custom tokens, including fiat-backed stablecoins, across nearly 30 blockchain networks through a single integration. Instead of treating each chain as a separate project, the API bundles custody management, minting and burning mechanics, transfers, and multi-chain transaction execution into one interface.
What Brale is actually building
Issuers retain control over reserves, compliance, and the economics of the token itself. Brale positions itself as infrastructure, not a co-issuer, which matters enormously in a regulatory environment where accountability questions around stablecoin reserves are becoming central to legislation in Washington.
As of a July 2026 blog post, Brale says it supports over 100 live programs and processes billions in annual volume. The company holds money transmitter licenses across 45 U.S. jurisdictions and has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification.
Recent chain expansions include support for the XRP Ledger, added in October 2025, and Algorand, which came online in January 2026.
The Visa connection and what it signals
Brale is currently running a proof-of-concept with Visa for private stablecoin settlement on the Canton Network, with that initiative described as ongoing as of June 2026.
Brale also works with Modern Treasury, a payments operations platform used widely in fintech, to enable stablecoin payouts. BitGo rounds out the named partner list, pointing to the custody layer of the infrastructure.
Why the scalability problem is harder than it looks
Brale’s approach is to abstract multi-chain complexity behind a single API layer. The stablecoin infrastructure market has been heating up steadily, with the GENIUS Act and related U.S. stablecoin legislation moving through Congress in 2025 and 2026 creating both urgency and opportunity for platforms that can offer compliant, regulated issuance infrastructure.
Getting licensed across 45 U.S. jurisdictions isn’t something a competitor can replicate quickly. The 0-basis-point on/off-ramp offering removes the friction cost at the entry and exit points of a stablecoin program, a meaningful incentive for issuers comparing total cost of ownership across platforms, particularly for high-volume programs where small per-transaction costs compound significantly.
