I’ve been watching Plasma (XPL) show up in more serious stablecoin conversations, and it makes sense because it treats payments as the main job, not a side feature. People are getting impatient with “pending,” especially as stablecoins move from trading into payroll, remittances, and merchant settlement. Plasma’s idea is simple: make transfers settle in under a second, then anchor the truth to Bitcoin so speed doesn’t become a trust problem. That feels like a real change from a few years ago, when we mostly argued about fees and congestion on general chains. Now the pressure is cultural too: users expect tap-to-pay simplicity, regulators are paying attention, and businesses want settlement they can explain to an auditor. I’m not sure anyone has the perfect design yet, but this direction feels practical.
