Plasma is Treating Stablecoins Like Infrastructure, Not Crypto
Most blockchains still treat stablecoins as just another asset. Plasma is taking the opposite view. Its recent updates reinforce a design choice that assumes stablecoins are the product, not the payload.
The network is being shaped around predictable settlement, regulatory alignment, and payment continuity. That is why licensing, regional expansion, and payment rails matter more here than raw on-chain activity. Plasma is optimizing for merchants, institutions, and cross-border flows that care about reliability over composability.
The XPL token volatility tells a familiar story, but it also highlights the real experiment. Plasma is testing whether a blockchain can survive by behaving less like a speculative network and more like financial plumbing.
If adoption comes, it will not arrive through hype cycles. It will arrive quietly, transaction by transaction, where failure is not an option.
