Plasma isn’t just benefiting from the “Aave effect” on assets, it’s happening at the network level too. When the chain launched last September, capital showed up fast: $1.3B in the first hour. Within 48 hours, deposits hit $6.6B. That kind of flow only happens when the rails actually work.
Since then, everything’s gotten faster. Settlement between Plasma and Ethereum is now 2x quicker, so USDT0 moves with less friction. In the largest USDT0 ecosystem, speed isn’t a feature, it’s the baseline.
The stack keeps improving. With NEAR Intents, builders can route large settlements and swaps onchain at near-CEX pricing across 125+ assets. For serious volume, that matters.
Adoption is real too. Confirmo brings $80M+ in monthly enterprise payments from e-commerce, trading, forex, and payroll. Merchants can accept USD₮ on Plasma with zero gas fees, stablecoin payments that actually make sense.
Liquidity is the backbone of any financial system, and Plasma now has the second largest onchain lending market globally. If you’re building stablecoin products, the capital is already here.
Rain lets users spend Plasma USD₮ at 150M+ merchants worldwide. SyrupUSD₮ has surpassed $1.1B TVL. Maple adds institutional-grade asset management.
Plasma isn’t chasing narratives. It’s becoming real infrastructure, where money moves faster and scale is actually possible.
