Stable taps Morpho as lending partner to generate stablecoin yield

Stable has partnered with Morpho to power lending across its ecosystem, including the Stable Pay app. The integration claims to let users generate yield through idle balances.

According to a press release sent to crypto.news, the stablecoin-powered blockchain Stable has integrated the decentralized lending protocol Morpho into its ecosystem to enable yield generation for its holders. The collaboration will also extend into Stable Pay, the platform’s upcoming digital payments app, where Morpho will power its “Earn” feature.

The partnership between the two platforms aims to take advantage of idle stablecoin balances by enabling users and institutions to earn yield on funds that are not actively being transacted. Through Morpho’s lending network, balances that would otherwise sit unused can be deployed into lending markets, thus generating interest while remaining instantly accessible for payments.

Stable hopes the partnership will help to establish the stablecoin-focused ecosystem as one of the most capital-efficient networks for both institutional and retail users. The solution claims to offer a fully auditable system that meets compliance requirements.

For institutional users, the integration addresses the issue of large volumes of idle payment liquidity that could otherwise generate returns. Companies and financial institutions often keep large sums of stablecoins at the ready to facilitate settlements and transactions. However, when these funds are not being actively used, they simply sit dormant.

By embedding Morpho’s lending layer within the network, those inactive balances can be automatically deployed into lending markets, allowing treasuries to earn yield without having to sacrifice immediate access to capital when payment demands arise.

For retail users, particularly in regions where stablecoins are already part of everyday finance, such as Latin America, Turkey, and Southeast Asia, the move reflects a broader shift toward stablecoins that combine both payment and yield functionalities.

This means users can hold stablecoins that automatically accrue yield, effectively merging the functionality of a savings account and a digital wallet within a single platform.

According to a report from Citigroup, the stablecoin economy is predicted to grow to reach $4 trillion in market cap by 2030. This means that leaving just 10% of this supply in idle liquidity could cost the industry billions.

Morpho joins Stable’s infrastructure

Stable has positioned itself as a blockchain network built for institutional-grade payments, offering privacy and operational tools suited for large-scale transactions. It claims to be the world’s “first stablechain” because of its focus on facilitating a blockchain powered by native stablecoins.

Meanwhile, Morpho is already used by major firms such as Coinbase, Société Générale, and World, and is recognized for its transparent, non-custodial lending system.

Through the partnership, Stable aims to shift how USDT (USDT) is utilized on-chain by bringing it onto the chain. By embedding Morpho’s lending network into the Stable ecosystem, including Stable Pay’s Earn, idle balances could become sources of sustainable yield.

Stable Pay is Stable’s first application, meant to be a non-custodial payment wallet designed to make stablecoin transfers easier, faster, and more secure. It is currently in its final development phase. However, the platform has opened a waiting list for users who wish to receive priority access at launch, along with exclusive product updates and early access to new features.

Earn will be one of the features available to users once the app is launched, enabling instant integration into Morpho’s lending layer.

Most recently, Stable received support from PayPal Ventures, the venture arm of the U.S.-based company. Last month, the platform raised $28 million in a funding round backed by PayPal Ventures. The integration lets users use PayPal’s Paxos-powered stablecoin, PYUSD (PYUSD), for commerce and financial transactions through the layer1 network, Stablechain.
