Plasma Just Plugged Into MassPay. Businesses Can Now Pay Employees in USDT Globally
MassPay processes payroll and contractor payments for companies across 200+ countries. They just integrated native USDT payments through Plasma.
What does this actually enable? Companies can now pay remote workers and contractors in stablecoins without conversion fees, intermediary banks, or 3-5 day settlement times. Instant USDT payments directly to employee wallets.
The integration works through Plasma’s paymaster system. Businesses send USDT with zero blockchain fees, employees receive it instantly without needing to understand gas or hold XPL tokens. It’s designed to feel like a normal bank transfer but settles on-chain.
This is different from just having USDT on a blockchain. Most chains charge gas fees, require users to bridge assets, and involve multiple steps. Plasma’s architecture sponsors the gas costs at protocol level, so the end user experience is just “send USDT, receive USDT.”
They also integrated CoW Swap DEX for on-chain execution, connecting Plasma to broader DeFi liquidity. Combined with the recent NEAR Intents integration linking 125+ assets across 25 blockchains, the network’s becoming more accessible from multiple entry points.
The tech stack includes PlasmaBFT consensus for sub-second finality and EVM compatibility so existing Ethereum developers can build without learning new languages. Over 100 DeFi protocols launched with it including Aave, Ethena, Fluid, and Euler.
Currently processing around 40,000 daily USDT transactions. For context, TRON handles 300 million monthly because it’s been around longer and has established payment corridors.
Do business payroll applications drive real blockchain adoption or is consumer P2P still the main use case for stablecoins?
