#plasma $XPL One of the most significant milestones for @Plasma this year is the full activation of its trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge. For years, the industry struggled to bring BTC liquidity into DeFi without relying on centralized custodians. Plasma’s solution—anchoring transaction checkpoints directly to the Bitcoin blockchain—offers institutional-grade security while maintaining the high throughput of a modern L1. This bridge allows native BTC to be used as collateral within the Plasma ecosystem, driving massive TVL growth and creating new use cases for $XPL. Every smart contract interaction involving these bridged assets requires the security provided by $XPL validators. By combining Bitcoin’s unrivaled security with Plasma’s sub-second execution, the network has become the preferred destination for high-value financial settlements. It’s not just a bridge; it’s a portal to a more secure and liquid decentralized future. #plasma
