Plasma’s $XPL keeps popping up on my radar, and the more I look into it, the more it feels like real payments infrastructure rather than another speculative L1. Plasma is clearly built with one goal in mind: making stablecoin transfers as simple as sending a message. Zero fee USDT transfers at the protocol level and the ability to pay gas directly in assets like USDT or BTC remove a lot of the friction normal users face. No extra gas token juggling, no weird UX hurdles.
That’s a big deal if you actually care about adoption beyond crypto natives. XPL still plays a key role though, securing the network through staking, powering advanced transactions, and eventually anchoring governance. It feels less like a hype token and more like plumbing for everyday digital money.
