Stablecoin growth has slowed over the last two weeks with a broader market decline. Nonetheless, institutions, fintechs, funds, and retail investors remain positioned and ready for the next wave of growth.
Why? Because stablecoins are the backbone of today’s crypto markets and the foundation for a new global financial system.
Stablecoin Spotlight: What’s Top of Mind Stablecoin adoption starts with education.
This week Plasma launched our Learn Centre, the complete guide to digital dollars.
We have published a series of in-depth articles which cover everything you need to know about stablecoins: Compliance & Regulation; Fundamentals; Markets & Adoption; Technology & Infrastructure; Treasury & Finance; and Payments and Remittances.
The Plasma Learn Center is where someone can arrive with no prior context and leave with a working understanding of digital dollars, including how they are issued, how reserves are held, how onchain settlement works, and how regulation is evolving.

He cited flaws in its economic model, consensus design, and Layer 2 approach, calling L2s “parasitic” and comparing Ethereum’s future to MySpace or BlackBerry. 💬 Do you agree with Hoskinson’s take—or is Ethereum still leading innovation in crypto?
