I keep coming back to why Aave’s Plasma market pulled in about $6.5B of deposits so fast: it isn’t excitement, it’s certainty. Institutions seem to like that Plasma is built around stablecoin settlement and verifiable records, the kind of thing you can explain to risk teams without hand-waving. I’ve noticed the talk shift from “yield” to “operational risk” over the last year, and it matters. Retail users often live closer to price swings and narratives, so a “boring” chain that prioritizes payments can feel less urgent. What’s changed lately is that more real cash flows are showing up on-chain—payouts, treasury moves, tokenized assets—and people are starting to care about what happens after the trade, not just the trade itself. Plasma’s pitch is simple: dollars that move predictably.
