How this ranking works
How firm the #1 is, the per-criterion arithmetic behind each score, who pays ChainChoice, and which stablecoin issuance platforms were assessed and left out.
See the arithmetic
Every published criterion was moved up and down by one point and the ranking re-run. The same product came first each time. The published rankings file
Each bar is the score on that criterion’s own 0–10 scale, never rescaled to the pool. The dark line is the best any product here reached on that axis. Wt is the most the criterion can add to the 86-point weighted total. Pts is weight × score × 32; the sum is the methodology score, and each weighted point behind the leader costs 2.6 on the displayed score. how these are weighted
- Liveness failure: the operator stops, censors you or loses data.
- Custody failure: whoever holds the assets loses or withholds them.
- Insolvency failure: the firm or issuer that owes you cannot pay.
- Exit failure: you cannot get out at par, on time, or with what is yours.

What is the best issuance platform in 2026?
Brale ranks #1 overall for stablecoin issuance platforms on ChainChoice. A US money-transmitter-licensed platform that issues a fintech's branded dollar under Brale's own name and rails — Brale is the regulated issuer of record, holds the reserves and keeps the contract's private keys, while the customer gets the brand, the API and a published share of the reserve yield. It holds that rank under an affiliate-blind methodology scored across 4 published, weighted criteria — the code that ranks providers physically cannot read affiliate payouts (CI-enforced), so a payout can't move a rank. The verdict re-computes on every fee change, incident, or regulatory action; the full reasoning and the audit receipt are under Methodology.
