@Plasma
Plasma (XPL) is emerging as a serious Layer 1 contender by focusing on what actually drives on-chain activity today: stablecoins and payments. While many blockchains chase short-term narratives like memes or speculative hype, Plasma is being built as a settlement-grade network designed for reliability, speed, and real-world adoption. This approach aligns closely with how crypto is already used globally—moving value quickly, cheaply, and without friction.
One of Plasma’s most important design choices is its stablecoin-first architecture. Instead of treating stablecoins as just another token, Plasma optimizes the entire network around them. Features like gasless stablecoin transfers and stablecoin-denominated gas fees significantly lower barriers for everyday users, merchants, and fintech platforms. For users in high-adoption regions, this removes complexity and makes blockchain payments feel closer to traditional digital payments—only faster and more open.
Plasma is also fully EVM compatible, allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts and tooling without friction. This compatibility bridges the gap between robust developer ecosystems and a payment-focused blockchain, enabling DeFi, payments, and settlement applications to coexist on the same network. Combined with sub-second finality powered by PlasmaBFT, transactions are confirmed almost instantly, a requirement for real-time payments and institutional use cases.
Security and neutrality are another key focus. Plasma introduces Bitcoin-anchored security, reinforcing censorship resistance and long-term trust. This design choice positions Plasma as a neutral settlement layer rather than a platform optimized solely for speculation. As regulatory clarity increases and institutions look for reliable blockchain infrastructure, networks that prioritize neutrality and predictable performance are more likely to gain adoption.
The growth of stablecoins is not slowing down. They already represent the majority of on-chain transaction volume and are increasingly used for remittances, payroll, merchant payments, and cross-border settlement. However, most existing blockchains were not designed specifically for this scale of financial activity. Plasma aims to fill that gap by offering payment-grade infrastructure rather than experimental features.
XPL, the native coin of the Plasma network, plays a central role in securing the chain and enabling its ecosystem. Instead of relying on hype-driven demand, XPL’s value proposition is tied to network usage, settlement volume, and long-term infrastructure adoption. This positions Plasma well for investors and users who believe the next phase of crypto growth will come from utility, not speculation.
As the market matures, attention is slowly shifting back to fundamentals. Speed, cost efficiency, compliance readiness, and real-world usability matter more than ever. Plasma represents this shift clearly. It is not trying to be everything—it is trying to be the best stablecoin settlement layer possible. For those watching the payments narrative closely, Plasma (XPL) is a project worth following.

$XPL

Enquanto os usuários desfrutam de transferências sem taxas, o token $XPL serve como o combustível essencial da infraestrutura. Ele garante a segurança da rede através de staking, empodera a comunidade via governança e atua como a garantia para o crescente ecossistema de aplicações descentralizadas (dApps) que estão sendo construídas sobre os trilhos do Plasma.
Com o recente lançamento do neobank Plasma One e a crescente integração com grandes exchanges como a Binance, a visão de uma economia sem fronteiras, impulsionada por stablecoins, já não é um sonho distante—está acontecendo agora mesmo no Plasma.

Enquanto grande parte da indústria de cripto permanece presa entre processos judiciais, brechas legais e mensagens contraditórias dos reguladores, alguns atores estão começando a jogar um jogo diferente: a integração formal com o sistema financeiro global. Neste campo de jogo, o Reino Unido está se posicionando como um dos hubs regulatórios mais ambiciosos da Europa, e a Ripple acabou de dar um passo que muitos projetos mal conseguem imaginar.

📖 A Ripple obteve autorização formal da Autoridade de Conduta Financeira do Reino Unido (FCA), abrindo caminho para uma expansão significativa da sua plataforma no país. O regulador aprovou tanto a sua licença de Instituição de Moeda Eletrônica quanto o seu registro como ativo cripto, um duplo reconhecimento que posiciona a empresa no cerne regulamentado do sistema financeiro britânico.
