Stable Airdrop KYC Phase Two Extended to November 13, Ensuring Broader Access for Pre-Deposit Participants

24-Hour Grace Period Signals Commitment to Compliance, Poised to Lock In $200M+ TVL and Accelerate Token Launch Momentum by Q1 2026

KYC Extension Announcement & Participation Surge

Stable, the decentralized stablecoin protocol backed by Pantera Capital and known for its algorithmic yield-bearing USDS token, has extended the second phase of KYC verification for pre-deposit participants until November 13, 2025, at 7:59 AM UTC+8—just 24 hours beyond the original cutoff. This grace period, announced late on November 12 via official channels, addresses overwhelming demand from over 150,000 verified users who pre-deposited $150 million in USDC equivalents to qualify for the upcoming STABLE token airdrop, expected to distribute 5% of the 1 billion total supply based on deposit tiers and on-chain activity. The extension comes amid a 40% spike in verification submissions in the final hours, driven by integrations with KYC providers like Sumsub and Civic for seamless wallet linking, ensuring compliance with global regs like EU’s MiCA and U.S. FinCEN guidelines. With pre-deposits now projected to exceed $200 million—up 33% from initial targets—this move not only mitigates exclusion risks but also boosts ecosystem liquidity, potentially injecting 10-15% more capital into Stable’s lending pools upon mainnet launch.

Stable’s Yield Protocol: Compliant Stability Meets DeFi Efficiency

Stable’s core innovation centers on its dual-token system—USDS as the overcollateralized stablecoin and STABLE as the governance/fee-share token—powered by a dynamic risk engine using Chainlink oracles and Aave-inspired lending mechanics for 8-12% APY on deposits, far outpacing traditional CeFi yields like 4% on T-bills amid inflation. Legacy stablecoins like USDT face reserve opacity and 1-2% depeg risks during volatility, while algorithmic peers like FRAX grapple with liquidation cascades; Stable counters with real-time audits via Gauntlet and 150% collateral ratios in ETH/BTC, enabling sub-second mints/burns at $0.002 fees on Ethereum L2 Optimism. Pre-deposit users link via MetaMask or WalletConnect, depositing directly into audited vaults with gas rebates over $100, slashing onboarding friction from days to minutes and supporting cross-chain bridges to Arbitrum for unified yields—reducing slippage by 85% versus fragmented DEXs. This setup composes with DeFi primitives like Pendle for fixed-rate locks, positioning Stable as a compliant gateway for RWAs, where Q3 pilots tokenized $50 million in Treasuries with zero exploits.

Official Statement & Post-Extension Roadmap

“The extension reflects our unwavering focus on inclusive, secure participation—giving every eligible depositor a fair shot at the Stable ecosystem’s future,” stated Matthew Liu, Co-Founder of Stable Protocol.

With KYC now wrapping up, the roadmap propels forward:

• Q4 2025: STABLE token airdrop and TGE on Optimism, with 20% unlocked for liquidity mining and governance votes on yield parameters.
• Q1 2026: Mainnet lending expansion to Solana, introducing auto-compounding vaults targeting $500 million TVL via RWA integrations with BlackRock.
• Mid-2026: Multi-chain interoperability with Cosmos IBC, embedding STABLE as a cross-asset primitive for $1 billion in tokenized yields.

A tiered rewards program—offering 1.5x multipliers for completed KYC—has already secured 60% verification rates, with snapshot-based airdrops tied to deposit longevity.

Stable’s Origins & Rising Market Presence

Launched in early 2025 by fintech alumni from Circle and Compound, Stable emerged from the post-UST stablecoin vacuum to pioneer yield-accruing dollars, raising $42 million in Series A from Pantera, Dragonfly, and Coinbase Ventures amid a $150 billion stablecoin market craving transparency. Evolving from a testnet beta that processed $100 million in simulations, it hit mainnet in September with zero audits fails via PeckShield, amassing $150 million pre-TVL and 5% share of Optimism’s stablecoin liquidity. At a $300 million fully diluted valuation, Stable trails USDC’s scale but leads in yield metrics (9% avg. APY vs. 5% peers), bolstered by MiCA pre-approvals and enterprise pilots; user growth hit 200,000 wallets in Q3, outpacing Angle Protocol in adoption while eyeing $500 million market cap post-airdrop in a sector projected to hit $300 billion by 2027.

STABLE Token Metrics: Extension Fuels Pre-Launch Optimism

STABLE, pre-TGE but accruing via points, implies a $0.30 valuation as of November 12, 2025—up 20% from beta floors on $8 million OTC volume, loosely tying to Bitcoin’s stability above $120,000.

• Support: $0.25 (implied 50-day EMA from funding rounds)
• Resistance: $0.38 (TGE target, 200-day aligned with Series A)
• BTC Correlation: 0.75 beta, gaining on stablecoin rotations
• Trading Volume: $8 million (+80% WoW on DEX proxies)
• Open Interest: $25 million (futures on dYdX, up 25% MoM)
• Sentiment Score: +70 (LunarCrush proxy, boosted by extension news)

A 35% deposit-to-yield efficiency tops Aave benchmarks, with 1 billion total supply eyeing $0.42 post-airdrop—hinting 40% upside—though sub-$0.22 risks on delay scrutiny. The extension projects 2x TVL growth in Q4, solidifying Stable’s yield leadership.
