From 'usable' to 'practical': Plasma launches fiat-USDT seamless conversion API + LlamaSwap optimal trading
In the bear market, the major currencies have fallen by thousands of points; should we adopt a tolerant attitude towards XPL? The @Plasma in the bear market has not given up but continues to advance and update, directly pushing the on-chain experience to new heights. Whether you are a builder focused on development or an ordinary user playing DeFi, you can truly enjoy the convenience and efficiency improvements. First, let's talk about the most practical changes for builders: @Stablecoin The launched single API makes the bidirectional conversion between fiat and USDT extremely simple. Just connect to one interface to achieve second-level arrival, real-time optimal exchange rates, and very low slippage control. Previously, it was necessary to connect to multiple third parties (such as Ramp, MoonPay, etc.), handle KYC, exchange rate differences, and fee logic, which resulted in high development and maintenance costs, easily distracting focus. Now, the integration cost has significantly decreased, the amount of code has sharply reduced, the development cycle has noticeably shortened, and the user experience is much smoother and seamless—just click a button, and fiat directly becomes USDT, or withdraw back to a local account, with the whole process being almost imperceptible.
Warm reminder: @Plasma Creator's task is due today, don't forget to post.
In 2026, Plasma will welcome two major practical upgrades, making it more user-friendly and cost-effective for both developers and regular users!
Developers only need to integrate @Stablecoin API to directly achieve the conversion between fiat currency and USDT, without the need to connect to a bunch of third-party services. The integration is simple, the settlement is fast, and the exchange rate and slippage are better. Coupled with Plasma's own advantages of free USDT transfers, fast processing speed, and EVM compatibility, development costs are greatly reduced, allowing them to focus on refining their products.
Regular users can also enjoy benefits, LlamaSwap officially lands #Plasma , offering the best trading quotes in the entire network, lower slippage, and no additional fees, making currency exchange more cost-effective and convenient. This wave of upgrades has truly optimized the user experience, making stablecoin payments and DeFi transactions more efficient and frictionless, and the entire ecosystem has become more practical. $XPL
Cutting before dawn? ETH plunges below 2000, leaving only faith and tickets after cleaning up leverage.
ETH has broken below the psychological barrier of 2000 USD, is it a trap or a golden pit?
If you're currently staring at the Bitcoin chart with sweaty palms, then this content is written for you.
Just as I was writing this, the price of Bitcoin on the 15-minute chart was firmly at 1950.87 USD, and the once-iron bottom of 2000 USD has silently been breached, with a chilling atmosphere spreading through the market.
But as an old investor, I want to tell you that extreme fear in the market often hides the clearest contrarian signals.
Latest market analysis, this is not a collapse, it's a squeeze.
Gold is not a wealth code, but a tool used by capital to harvest anxiety.
When those around you who never cared about investments also start to join the rush to buy gold, you should know that capital is about to harvest.
In recent years, people have started to increase their gold holdings at banks around the world, and many believe this is a hedge against inflation. In my opinion, this is merely a facade, especially for ordinary people with limited income who need to be wary of the traps behind the craze.
The core of the skyrocketing gold prices is the cracks appearing in the dollar credit system dominated by the Federal Reserve, and geopolitical instability has triggered a global crisis of trust in credit currencies.
Capital is leveraging this anxiety to harvest the already meager savings of ordinary people. Ordinary people's income growth is weak, and while savings are precious, they can easily be entangled in the hype of inflation resistance and stable value appreciation.
In 2026, the cryptocurrency market is so chaotic, how can Plasma remain stable and even attract capital against the trend?
Currently, mainstream scaling solutions each have their shortcomings: Optimistic Rollup withdrawals take 7 days, making large investors uneasy; ZK technology is solid, but ecosystem compatibility still leaves something to be desired; the old Plasma is riddled with security vulnerabilities and has long been eliminated.
We, @Plasma , are not an old version, nor do we participate in the heated competition of general-purpose L2; we follow a modern Plasma + ZK hybrid approach, focusing on the high-speed stablecoin track. USDT deposits and withdrawals are completely fee-free, block times are under 1 second, asset exits from the main chain take only 10 minutes, directly crushing the lengthy wait times of traditional L2. TPS exceeds ten thousand, and transaction fees are so low they can be ignored, with no security incidents ever reported.
On-chain data is more concrete: bridge TVL exceeds 6.6 billion, with USDT accounting for 76%, Bitfinex providing deep support, Binance's locked products selling out instantly, all backed by whales and institutions voting with their feet.
It doesn't engage in flashy marketing, nor does it compete across the entire ecosystem; it focuses on the real pain points of large transfers, high-frequency arbitrage, and institutional rebalancing. No empty promises, just practical implementation, with a deflationary model, real funds, and hardcore technology—this is the most resilient and reliable choice in chaotic times.
In the chaotic world of cryptocurrency, I've finally found a project that brings a sense of security—Plasma is really stable.
Recently, the cryptocurrency market has been a dark week, with Bitcoin crashing nearly ten thousand dollars, billions liquidated across the network, and everywhere there's FUD and panic, causing widespread anxiety. Today, there's also a big KOL who, despite being wealthy, has been maintaining a hardworking persona, but ended up running away with the money. When people went to check, they found that all the luxury cars and mansions were rented, and the rent hadn't even been paid. Looking at the community of @Plasma again, it really gives a sense of relief that hasn't been felt in a long time. Other projects are busy creating FOMO, making a quick profit and then running away, but #Plasma is completely the romanticism of old-school geeks—no hype, no speculation, just focusing on refining technology, developing developer tools, and holding technical salons. Treating users as partners, not as fodder, this calm and patient attitude is the hardest moat of $XPL .
The countdown for the XPL creator task has begun, and I feel a mix of reluctance and anticipation, sincerely hoping that this surprise can be smoothly extended~ After all, the Plasma project team is truly generous, always genuinely pampering their fans. Who wouldn't love such a high-quality project!
What’s even more exciting is that @Plasma has unlocked a significant new update! Partner MassPay has ended 2025 with an explosive growth of 286%, and has collaborated with Visa Direct, Plasma, and Veriff to complete strategic integration, directly upgrading the global payment infrastructure! This cooperation has elevated Plasma's strength, enabling support for USDT payments to over 230 countries, expanding the real payment scenarios for stablecoins, and firmly establishing the core position of stablecoin infrastructure~
All along, #Plasma has been super reliable, not chasing trends but deeply cultivating its main business. From compliance arrangements to ecological implementation, every step has been taken steadily and reliably, providing the community with a strong sense of security through genuine cooperation and data. Even if this creator task does not extend for now, I believe that with such a high-quality Plasma ecosystem, there will always be equally generous project teams to continue pampering the fans~
Following such a powerful and visionary project in the stablecoin long bull track, just hold on with peace of mind, the future will only be more exciting✨ $XPL
Stop chasing hot topics; the stablecoin track is the real long bull!
Today really makes people want to laugh and cry: on one side, the rewards from XPL arrived on time, even if it's not much, it's a solid gain; I saw the dynamic posted by CZ on the other side of the square and immediately rushed to chase the土狗meme, and 10U instantly went to zero, leaving no chance to break even. 😭😭 This extreme contrast is actually a brutal reminder to everyone — what we should do right now is to firmly control our hands and not bet on short-term wealth through luck and emotions. The speed of the rotation of hot topics in the crypto circle has become absurdly fast: today it's a certain AI+meme narrative, tomorrow it might be a new gameplay in RWA, and the day after that it jumps to chain games or SocialFi. The birth of each new hotspot is accompanied by overwhelming KOL endorsements, Twitter spam, and FOMO in groups, attracting a large number of people to rush in, and the result is often the project team running away, liquidity being drained, and retail investors losing everything. The fantasy of getting rich quickly sounds great, but behind it is a 99% rate of going to zero and countless mental breakdowns. What can truly survive multiple bull and bear cycles, grow stronger, and allow long-term holders to achieve stair-step wealth growth is never the loudest or most storytelling projects, but rather the most 'boring,' the most fundamental, and the tracks with the most rigid demand.

Forbes: Binance currently holds about 87% of the circulating supply of the USD1 stablecoin
According to an analysis by Forbes of data from blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intel, as of Monday, approximately 87% of all circulating USD1 stablecoins are held in Binance's own wallets and user accounts—accounting for about $4.7 billion of the total supply of $5.4 billion—making Binance the third-party trading platform with the highest concentration of holdings among the top ten stablecoins by market capitalization. Binance responded that its support for USD1 is no different from that of other cryptocurrencies, and it is common for large exchanges to hold significant amounts of specific tokens, and that there is no relation between Changpeng Zhao's pardon and the promotion of USD1. World Liberty Financial stated that the related promotions are standard practice, denying that Binance could exert influence over them. The White House Press Secretary stated that Trump has never and will not be involved in any conflict of interest. $USD1 $WLFI
