What advantages would Plasma have if stablecoins become the core infrastructure of crypto?
Imagine a future where most on-chain activity revolves around stablecoins. Not meme speculation. Not yield farming. Just capital moving in and out — payments, settlements, liquidity flows.
If stablecoins truly become the backbone of the ecosystem, the standards change. The foundation of a financial system cannot be “sometimes fast, sometimes slow” or “sometimes cheap, sometimes expensive.” It needs consistency. It needs predictability.
In that scenario, Plasma holds a structural advantage because it was built with stablecoins at its center from day one.
It doesn’t compete for block space with countless other narratives. Fewer conflicting use cases. Less reliance on speculative congestion. More focus on optimizing for one core function: stable value transfer.
Large general-purpose chains can support stablecoins, but they must constantly balance DeFi, NFTs, memecoins, gaming, and more. Plasma ($XPL) makes a trade-off — sacrificing breadth for specialization and operational stability.
So the real question becomes:
If stablecoins become crypto’s backbone, will the market value focused infrastructure built specifically for that purpose? Or will it continue to favor broad, multi-use ecosystems?
