Plasma and Dusk because they are both chasing real adoption, just from different angles. Plasma is building a stablecoin first Layer 1 where payments are the priority, fast, cheap, and built for volume. Dusk is building the regulated side, privacy plus auditability, so institutions can settle and issue assets onchain without exposing everything.
Plasma keeps tightening the stablecoin rails and bridge design so liquidity can move without friction. Dusk keeps refining the privacy stack and the standards around tokenized securities so compliance is not an afterthought.
XPL is built to secure the network and align validators as usage scales. DUSK is the fuel and incentive layer for settlement and privacy enabled finance.
Plasma helps stablecoin transfers feel normal. Dusk helps regulated assets move with confidentiality and rules baked in. Exits are about pathways, stablecoin flows and bridges for Plasma, native settlement and compliant access routes for Dusk.
Plasma is the money highway, Dusk is the regulated market engine. In the last 24 hours I did not see a major official release worth faking, but the next signal is new integrations and access expansion.
