Topology Rationale
The stablecoin issuer theme is organized around the economics of issuing fiat-backed digital dollars, distributing them through wallets, exchanges, and payment interfaces, and supporting them with reserve custody, banking, and settlement infrastructure. The layers therefore separate core issuers/distributors from upstream reserve and custody partners, adjacent software/payment enablers that expand usage, and downstream venues and institutions that consume stablecoins for trading, collateral, and on-chain settlement.
Value-Chain Layers
1
Stablecoin Issuance, Wallet, Exchange & Token Distribution
Companies in this layer directly issue fiat-pegged tokens, custody digital assets, or provide the primary wallet and exchange rails through which stablecoins are minted, redeemed, held, and circulated.
