Most new blockchains try to be everything. Plasma is trying to be one thing: stablecoin settlement.
Full EVM compatibility. Sub-second finality. Gasless USDT transfers. Gas paid in stablecoins, not volatile native tokens. It’s a focused bet that stablecoins aren’t a feature of crypto — they’re the core use case.
I like the discipline. But speed claims are easy. Sustained performance under real demand is harder. And liquidity inertia is real — Ethereum and Tron already dominate stablecoin flows.
If Plasma works, it’ll be because it makes moving digital dollars boring, cheap, and instant.
If it doesn’t, it won’t be for lack of vision. It’ll be because distribution beats architecture almost every time.
