Just launched yesterday: Plasma $XPL, the L1 chain built exclusively for stablecoins. In a market dipping red, it debuted with $2B+ in liquidity, zero-fee USDT transfers, and a 52% surge on day one. Backed by Tether & Peter Thiel, this isn't hype, it's the future of digital dollars. A thread on why $XPL is the stablecoin rail we've been waiting for
🧵
Stablecoins aren't just crypto's on-ramp, they're a $300B+ beast clearing trillions yearly in payments, remittances, & DeFi. But the rails? Fragmented, slow & pricey (looking at you, Tron). Plasma flips the script: a purpose-built L1 for stables, unifying liquidity under one high-speed, compliant layer.
The core problem Plasma solves? Stablecoin fragmentation.
$173B USDT alone is scattered across 10+ chains, forcing bridges & wrappers that risk hacks & delays. Plasma centralizes this with native USDT support, sub-second finality via PlasmaBFT consensus, & EVM compatibility for easy DeFi ports.
The game-changer? ZERO-FEE USDT transfers.
Protocol-level paymaster covers gas for verified users, making on-chain payments as seamless as Venmo. Add confidential memos (hiding amounts for privacy) & a Bitcoin-anchored bridge (pBTC via MPC). It's secure, fast, & global. No more $1+ fees eating remittances.
Launch vibes? Explosive.
Mainnet beta hit with $2.4B mcap on a 10B $XPL supply (18% circulating). 10% airdropped (worth $1.2B+ now), presalers up 25x & a $373M public sale (7x oversub'd). Binance HODLer drop of 75M tokens + $250M USDT locked in <1hr. Broke Aster Exchange on debut. 😂
