# Issue a Stablecoin

> Run a fiat-backed stablecoin on Base with minting, compliance, and reconciliation built into the chain.

Issue a fiat-backed stablecoin on Base with [B20](/specifications/b20), Base's native token standard. Minting, redemption, compliance controls, and reconciliation ship with the chain, so there's no custom contract to build or audit, and it's fully ERC-20 compatible.
