Garlinghouse was pretty direct at $XRP Community Day this week: "XRP is the North Star for Ripple." Not a hedge. Not "one of our priorities." The north star.

And he backed it up structurally. Ripple spent $4 billion in 2025 acquiring firms that all got renamed and reoriented around XRP: Ripple Prime (formerly Hidden Road), Ripple Treasury (GTreasury), custody via Rails. The entire stack — payments, custody, prime brokerage, treasury management, stablecoin settlement via RLUSD — is being designed to flow through the XRP Ledger.

Ripple's target is to become a global financial platform company by 2030. That's a trillion-dollar addressable market play if it works — competing against Swift infrastructure, not other L1s.

$XRP price doesn't reflect that ambition yet. Still around $1.37. Market cap is $83 billion. Ripple the company is valued at $40 billion. There's a tension there worth paying attention to.

PLASMA: THE INVISIBLE REVOLUTION IN STABLECOINS

⚠️ This chain flips the script. Stablecoins are not an add-on; they are the CORE design principle.

• Zero fee stablecoin transfers remove the mental tax.
• Fees paid in the same currency you send—no more volatile gas tokens needed.
• Infrastructure built for effortless money movement, not speculation.
• Anchoring security to a neutral system to resist censorship.

The goal is invisibility. The best payment rails are the ones you stop noticing. Plasma aims to be the quiet settlement layer apps depend on. Reliability over hype.

🚨 XPL IS THE UNDERRATED INFRASTRUCTURE PLAY IN STABLECOINS 🚨

Forget the noise. $XPL is quietly building the rails for the $225 BILLION stablecoin market. This is real utility, not vaporware hype.

• Zero-fee USDT transfers are live.
• Over 1,000 TPS handling real payments.
• Validators stake $XPL and earn rewards directly from transaction fees.

This is a direct bet on the payment rails that will handle trillions in transfers. The network is operational NOW. Infrastructure wins long term.

🚨 INFRASTRUCTURE OVER HYPE: WHY PLASMA KILLS GENERALIZED CHAINS

Stop chasing volatile gas fees and unpredictable execution. Most chains fail payments because they treat them like an exciting app, not essential infrastructure. This is where $XPL fundamentally diverges.

• Payments must be boring, predictable, and stable.
• $XPL removes user decision-making: no more agonizing over gas, timing, or execution probability.
• Zero-fee stablecoin transfers change behavior from tactical use to daily habit—this is the true innovation.

$XPL tokenomics reflects this: it recruits validators and governs, but deliberately stays silent so users don't have to constantly manage a volatile asset alongside their money movement. Stability is achieved by separating token exposure from value transfer.

Plasma trades viral adoption for durability. It's built to be trusted, not to generate glittering numbers. This is infrastructure completion, not attention capture.

⚠️ PLASMA IS THE ANTI-VIRAL INFRASTRUCTURE PLAY YOU NEED TO SEE

Stop chasing shiny objects. Most chains fail payments because they try to be everything. Plasma assumes payments are boring infrastructure, not exciting apps. This is the core difference.

• General purpose chains force users to manage gas, timing, and volatile tokens just to move money.
• Plasma abstracts complexity: fee abstraction, execution stabilization, and predictable settlement.
• Zero-fee stablecoin transfers change behavior from tactical use to daily habit. Money becomes a utility.

$XPL tokenomics are deliberately silent. It recruits validators and governs, but users do not need to touch it. Stability is achieved by separating money movement from token exposure.

Plasma trades viral adoption for durability. It will never be the loudest chain because it prioritizes low-tension, constant use over glittering hype. This is infrastructure built to be trusted, not entertained.
