The history of progress is a history of infrastructure. How free we are to build. The economies that defined history were built on infrastructure so essential, so deeply embedded, that we eventually take it for granted.
The Stablecoin Economy will be no different.
Eco is building the missing layer: Rails to connect. Highways to route. Water to flow. Power to activate. Introducing entirely new possibilities for how money moves.
This isn't a feature set. It's a foundation. One where money doesn’t just move; but one where money flows, bends, reacts like never before.
Smarter infrastructure powers smarter economies.
The Stablecoin Economy is here. And, it grows with Eco.

Routing large stablecoin transfers through AMM-based bridges means paying slippage. The bigger the transfer, the more it costs.
Add manually tracking and rebalancing your positions across chains, plus the tail risk of a bridge failing and stranding capital on a chain or in an asset you don't want.
Eco replaces that with vault-based settlement.
Rebalances execute atomically or not at all. No slippage curve, no half-completed transfer to unwind, every leg auditable onchain.

Why does splitting a large trade across pools cost treasury operators more, not less?
@strao_, Head of Product at Eco, on the failure cases hidden in multi-step execution, and what routing pooled liquidity in a single transaction fixes.
Stablecoin transaction volume hit an all-time high last month.
$𝟏.𝟕𝟖𝐓
Up nearly 2x from last year.
Centralized exchange volume compressed from ~28% of the total a year ago to ~13% last month.
Decentralized exchange volume fell from ~19% to ~2% over the same stretch.
The growth is money moving, not trading.

.@Uniswap and @Binance dominate stablecoin trading volume. That's the secondary market where retail trades.
The primary market is where institutions should operate: direct minting and redeeming with issuers at zero spread. No slippage or MEV. Just par value settlement.
@galaxydigital Research breaks down the distinction most treasury teams miss. The firms still buying $USDC on exchanges at 30-50bps haven't discovered that primary access exists. They're paying exchange fees for what could be a fraction of the cost.
In TradFi, you'd never trade Treasuries on the secondary market if you had primary dealer access. The same logic applies to stablecoins. The infrastructure exists. Most teams just don't know to ask.

Treasury teams manage 8+ banking relationships on average across currencies. Each needs separate integration, reconciliation, approval flows.
Eco Routes replaces this fragmentation with one orchestration layer. Configure execution rules once for atomic settlement across 15 chains.
Integrate now with the Eco Routes API: docs.eco.com/routes/integrat…
Banks spent three years implementing T+1 settlement to save one day on equity trades. Meanwhile stablecoin orchestration already settles cross-border payments in seconds.
The infrastructure decision becomes obvious when you compare implementation timelines to actual settlement speed improvements. Traditional rails optimize incrementally while parallel systems deliver step-function gains.
TradFi knows this pattern from electronic trading displacing floor trading. The winning infrastructure operates on fundamentally different physics. Atomic settlement with finality in under a second versus batch processing on business-day cycles.
CFOs evaluating payment infrastructure see the same dynamic. Keep optimizing ACH for marginal gains or adopt stablecoin orchestration layers that cut costs 96% without touching consumer flows.

Better output, less leakage.
That is what treasury operators get if their transactions can see the chain state while they run.
@strao_, Head of Product at Eco, on why predictable flows and thin single-venue liquidity make execution quality the real cost.
Most stablecoin metrics measure supply. How much exists, across issuers and chains.
Supply tells you the market is large. It doesn't tell you whether a specific dollar can settle a specific obligation at the moment it comes due.
Those are separate properties.
In @borjaneira_'s 𝑆𝑐ℎ𝑟𝑜̈𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟'𝑠 𝐿𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑦 article, he points out that liquidity can look abundant in aggregate and still not be available in the required state when a claim actually has to travel to final money, held behind an intermediary, waiting on a settlement cycle, or a system that hasn't opened yet.
The balance sheet counts it. The path to settlement may not reach it.
He works through why that gap exists in traditional finance, and why the distinction between liquidity that exists and liquidity that's available holds as more of the system moves toward programmable settlement.
Full article below:
Move any supported stablecoin across any supported chain into @global_dollar's USDG on @jumperapp, through Eco Routes.
USDG you can put to work in Robinhood's Earn program.
USDG is the first stablecoin natively issued on Robinhood Chain.
It's also the lending asset in @RobinhoodCrypto's Earn program, where you can hold USDG via a self-custodial wallet, and earn rewards through decentralized lending vaults.
Regulated institutions can't route stablecoins through networks where the counterparty is anonymous and nothing is screened before it settles.
So they do it the slow way.
Separate rails, separate onboarding, separate compliance review for every venue.
Eco Verified Liquidity is one lane where every provider is KYB-authorized and every transfer ships with an audit record.
Now in early access.
A bank-issued stablecoin went from $100M to $300M in five weeks.
@SoFi's stablecoin SOFID held flat on Ethereum until it expanded to @solana, where supply climbed past $200M in under a month.

The next layer of programmability: encode your strategy in the transaction itself.
Price logic, risk controls, limit orders, conditional liquidity rules. All-or-nothing execution against it, written through a simple API or SDK.
No smart contract to deploy.
Eco CEO @rynesaxe's napkin sketch of where this goes next.
The largest custodian in the world just put @circle's ethereum:0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48 on its books.
@BNYglobal, $59.4T under custody, now holds and redeems USDC inside the same framework institutions use for everything else. With more issuers coming.
Stablecoins clearing at this tier is settled.
The open problem is who organizes the flow once a dozen issuers sit behind a dozen custodians.

Routes CLI is how teams ship stablecoins into production without writing integration code.
One command: 𝚎𝚌𝚘-𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚎𝚜-𝚌𝚕𝚒 𝚙𝚞𝚋𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚑
Pick source chain, destination, token.
The wizard does quoting, funding, and settlement across every major stablecoin chain.

Eco Routes has one job: move stablecoins from A to B with the highest performance possible.
Two things get optimized to do it:
1. Routing finds the best path when several exist.
2. Liquidity orchestration keeps market liquidity reachable across as many efficient paths as possible.
Eco CEO @rynesaxe's napkin sketch of how it works:
One of the fastest stablecoin launches this year came from a prediction market.
@Polymarket's pUSD, on @0xPolygon, has grown from $0 to more than $513M since April.

What happens to money when it falls into the hands of a few issuers?
@strao_, Head of Product at Eco, on the version of stablecoins worth avoiding, and how Eco keeps the market open across all of them.
OPINION: Stablecoins aren't coming for community banks, and Congress shouldn't "kneecap one of the clearest advances in payment infrastructure" to protect banks from competition, argues @Eco CEO @RyneSaxe.
