Real-world asset markets need more than a way to represent on-chain ownership. They require built-in control from asset to settlement, and a reliable way to move dollars into and out of the market.
As a blockchain built to support marketplaces for tokenized RWAs, Chia feels that need.
That's why Chia partnered with Brale to bring regulated stablecoin issuance and money movement to its network. Chia is now supported in Brale's app and through its API.
Developers and institutions on Chia can use Brale to issue and manage their own stablecoins, giving users a way to fund accounts, pay, and trade.

chiatestnet:chia_testnetChia's approach
Chia is a blockchain designed for applications that tokenize, custody, and trade assets with auditable authenticity and provenance. Security and regulatory compliance are non-negotiables.
That security posture is supported by:
Built-in controls
Settlement infrastructure with security and control built into the token
Provenance
Every asset has a traceable history
Recoverable keys
Wallets sit inside vaults, and keys can be rotated if they're compromised or lost
Proof of Space and Time
Chia runs on the first new Nakamoto consensus since Bitcoin
What Brale unlocks for Chia builders
Brale provides the regulated infrastructure for dollar movement necessary to make markets built on Chia run.
The integration brings fiat-backed stablecoins to Chia, combining issuance, redemption, custody, reserve management, compliance controls, and on- and off-ramps in one place.
Enterprises can focus on the products and markets they are building on Chia instead of assembling a separate issuer, custody provider, banking stack, and chain-specific integration from scratch.
With Brale support on Chia, developers and institutions can:
Launch a Chia-native USD stablecoin for their marketplace
Move between dollars and stablecoins on Chia
Use stablecoins to make payments and trade tokenized assets
Connect Chia-based applications to Brale's broader stablecoin and cross-chain infrastructure
These benefits aren't hypothetical. Brale-issued stablecoins are in use on Chia already, supporting real-world asset trading.
Using Chia with Brale
Chia is available in the Brale app and API on both mainnet and testnet. In the API, set transfer_type to chia for mainnet or chia_testnet for testnet, as listed in the transfer types docs.
{ "amount": { "value": "100", "currency": "USD" }, "source": { "address_id": "2VcUIonJeVQzFoBuC7LdFT0dRe4", "value_type": "SBC", "transfer_type": "chia_testnet" }, "destination": { "address_id": "2xNL6PAF0cbcQHyjMQJ2RKRfbD9", "value_type": "SBC", "transfer_type": "chia_testnet" }}One integration, 31+ blockchains
In Chia, teams using Brale already gain another supported network without an infrastructure overhaul.
No new licenses, custody vendors or chain-specific plumbing required.
Chia gives builders a security-first environment for creating markets around tokenized assets. Brale connects that environment to regulated stablecoin issuance and fiat movement.
“We are excited with the possibilities that the Brale collaboration has opened for our customers. Brale was a natural fit for Chia given their strong focus on regulatory compliance and security. Our customers have been extremely happy with the results of the collaboration with active trading enabled by Brale already underway.”
