Plasma is quietly taking over global finance, and if you are holding XPL, you are ahead of the rest. This is not an ordinary L1 blockchain — Plasma is a zero-fee payment infrastructure for USDT, attracting liquidity at an explosive rate. Since the mainnet beta launched (15/11/2025), the ecosystem has had over 100 integrations and more than 2 billion USD locked. XPL stakers receive significant rewards, while Binance has become the main gateway to Plasma.
The strength of Plasma lies in its simple model: fast, free stablecoin transfers, while the complex part is for developers to scale. Thanks to Alchemy Pay, users in 173 countries can top up fiat to USD₮0 in just a few seconds — bringing in over half a million new wallets in just two months. Institutional funds are also flowing in: Daylight Energy's GRID stablecoin runs on Plasma, turning energy revenue into instantly movable USD assets.
Plasma is growing rapidly due to strong spending: 40% of the total XPL supply is allocated for liquidity and project support. Over 100 million USD has gone into lending protocols, where USDT can earn 6–10% APY. The automatic burn mechanism has eliminated 2%
The Plasma platform is secured by Bitcoin: the entire sidechain state is recorded on BTC periodically, while PlasmaBFT processes over 1,000 swaps/minute with finality under 1 second. Thanks to EVM compatibility, Ethereum projects can deploy immediately, adding ZKP for private transactions.
Currently, Plasma supports 25 stablecoins, operating in over 100 countries. The volume of $XPL/USDT on Binance has tripled thanks to staking 4–7% and continuous airdrops. With plans to scale to 5,000 TPS and enhance BTC DeFi, Plasma is becoming a new force in global payments — and $XPL is indeed the earliest ticket.
