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. Strongest on published platform price to the issuer (9/10): The pool's only rate card and the criterion's own comparand, readable end to end with no sales call. https://brale.xyz/pricing, fetched 2026-08-27 as raw HTML. Weakest on who holds the mint key, and what the brand keeps if it leaves (6/10): PUBLISHED SIDE — the most explicit exit terms in the pool, and they go against the brand. https://brale.xyz/legal/business-user-agreement ('Updated: May 27, 2026'). Published price: Published in full at https://brale.xyz/pricing (re-fetched and re-derived as raw HTML 2026-08-27; every string below confirmed present verbatim), the only rate card in the pool.
Stablecoin Issuance Platforms

What matters most before choosing in this category
Weighted on whose charter the coin is issued under (35), what share of the reserve yield the brand keeps (25), who holds the mint key and what the brand keeps if it leaves (22), and published platform price (18). THE CHARTER QUESTION LEADS BECAUSE IT DECIDES WHETHER YOU CAN LAUNCH AT ALL, and this pool answers it three different and equally legitimate ways: Anchorage issues under its own OCC national trust charter, so you need none; BitGo makes YOU the issuer of record, which is why the brand that shipped through it was SoFi Bank, N.A.; Brale gives you money-transmitter rails and you issue. A buyer who reads this criterion as "is the vendor regulated" gets the wrong answer, and discovers after signature that it is the issuer of record and needs a charter it does not hold. THE SECOND-HEAVIEST CRITERION IS ONE MOST OF THIS POOL DOES NOT INTEND TO ANSWER. Reserve yield is the entire commercial case for a branded dollar, and across the six vendors’ own machine-readable corpora — Bridge 262 pages, Paxos 376, Anchorage 299 plus 253 running to 1,969,489 characters, BitGo 803 documents, Brale 99 — the split is largely absent. That is an absence this tranche proved by sweeping those corpora, not one it assumed. There is no affiliate programme in this category and there never has been: nothing here is a switch and nothing pays a commission, so the page is built as an authority asset rather than a revenue line.
