Plasma ($XPL) 2026: How the "Trillion-Dollar" Infrastructure of Stablecoins is Being Built?
What Are Innovations and Why Do They Matter? @Plasma Since its launch in 2025, it has established itself as a dedicated Layer 1 for stablecoin payments. By February 2026, the mainnet is active, there is real volume growth, and the price is around ~$0.083-0.085 (market cap around ~$180M, 24-hour volume $50-60M+). But the key question: is this just hype, or is it the foundation of the global future of stablecoins? Key Technical Advantages (According to Recent Data): Zero-Fee USD₮ Transfers – Sending USDT (USD₮) at the protocol level is completely free. Other transactions can be paid with a custom gas token (for example, USDT, pBTC, etc.) + subsidized by the fund through a Paymaster mechanism. This creates "no gas anxiety" for regular users.
@Plasma is no longer just "blockchain" – the "fast car" of stablecoin payments! Zero-fee USDT transfers (send USD₮ – pay nothing!) ~1 second block time, 1000+ TPS Spend stablecoins with a card via the Plasma One app (in collaboration with Rain Cards) Easy swaps from 25+ chains with NEAR Intents + USDT0 deposit/withdraw Recently, the price has been rebounding around ~$0.083-0.085 (24h +3-4%), but the main strength – real usage: those working abroad send money to family, merchants make high-frequency payments, all with zero gas!
This is how the money of the future will move: simple, fast, limitless.
Vanar Chain 2026: How does AI "think" on the blockchain? – Recent developments and why now is the time?
Last year, it was simply recognized as a metaverse and gaming-focused project, but in 2026 it has reached a completely new level. It is now presented as an "AI-native Layer 1" – meaning the blockchain itself has an intelligence layer. This goes beyond simple transactions: dApps can now store memory, draw logical conclusions, and take action. Most interesting points: AI Integration Launch (January 19, 2026) – Vanar's AI stack has been released. Neutron (long-term memory API) eliminates agents' "forgetfulness" – agents like OpenClaw no longer start tasks from scratch after weeks. Kayon, starting from Q1 2026, will switch to a subscription model, meaning the token utility sharply increases.
On January 19, with the release of AI-native infrastructure, Vanar is transforming from just a blockchain into the "brain" layer of Web3.
Thanks to semantic memory + on-chain reasoning, dApps can now "think"! The Neutron tool gives agents long-term memory, while Kayon switches to a subscription model from Q1 with $VANRY .
For the real world: Agency payments with Worldpay, support from Google Cloud/NVIDIA, ultra-fast (3s block, $0.0005 fee). The future winner of AI + blockchain is here! $VANRY #Vanar
#XRP Good News for Owners: A New Era Has Begun, It Will Now Generate Interest
Flare announced on February 3rd that it opened modular lending markets focused on $XRP with the integration of Morpho and Mystic.
XRP holders gained a wider playing field in terms of yield and credit with the new lending infrastructure activated on the Flare network. Flare opened permissionless modular lending markets on February 3rd with the integration of Morpho and Mystic. It was stated that the goal is to maintain the XRP orientation while designing blockchain strategies more flexibly. The narrative of XRPFi is moving from idle asset criticism to productive usage scenarios.
Flare Opened a Modular Credit Layer for XRPFi
Flare, as a Layer-1 network focused on data interoperability, connected positions tied to XRP via FXRP to blockchain-based financial instruments. The Morpho-supported infrastructure activated the modular lending mechanism on Flare for the first time and made the XRPFi goal more tangible.
The announcement emphasized that the integration strengthened the vision of transforming XRP into a source of yield, credit, and combinable strategies. It was noted that while adhering to the XRP Ledger, it opened up space for different strategies to be combined like Lego pieces on the Flare side.
#Morpho The Infrastructure Divided Risks by Market $MORPHO
It was reminded that @Morpho Labs 🦋 is a universal lending network operating with over $10 billion in total deposits on EVM-compatible networks. On the Flare side, Mystic took on the role of the main interface. It enabled users to explore vaults, invest assets, and borrow against collateral.
2026 – the year of tokenization! Every institution will transfer real-world assets (RWA) to the blockchain, but this is not possible without privacy and compliance. Dusk Network ($DUSK ) solves this:
The mainnet went live in January 2026, with EVM-compatible privacy smart contracts using DuskEVM, and over €300M in tokenized securities with NPEX already on the way!
The gateway to on-chain Wall Street is opening.
$DUSK is not just a token – it's an entry ticket! #Dusk @Dusk
It was the opposite of what everyone expected... 🔃
$BTC and this drop in gold really burned a lot. 🥺
Everyone was saying "this time will be different", "the bull run is starting", "gold $PAXG will pass $5000 and soar". 🚀
Result?
#Bitcoin has dropped below $60,000 in recent days, and although it bounced back to around $70,000, it still experienced significant losses (down 40-50% from previous peaks). Gold was also fluctuating in the $4,900-$5,000 range, but there were sharp pullbacks in recent weeks.
The market burns everyone, even the most confident. Patience, stop-loss, diversification... these are not just empty words; you learn this in such drops.
Did you get burned in this wave?
Or are you still in the middle with the "catching a falling knife" tactic? $XAU
Ripple CEO Breaks Silence: Warren Buffett's Advice to XRP Investors $XRP
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse made a statement offering a perspective of opportunity instead of panic to investors following the sharp decline in XRP. $XMR After the sharp decline in XRP's price, Garlinghouse called for calm instead of panic. On the night of February 6, 2026, when the wave of selling accelerated, he shared a famous quote from Warren Buffett on X. His message emphasized having courage when the crowd is afraid and being cautious when the crowd is excited. The cryptocurrency market experienced a heavy shock at that time. XRP became the party that received the hardest hit from the correction.
Garlinghouse Gave a Message of Opportunity Instead of Panic on X
Garlinghouse quoted Buffett, who is at the helm of Berkshire Hathaway, saying, “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” The post was read as a move to restore confidence on the XRP side. Ripple's management stated that they believed the hysteria in the market opened a window for cheap prices.

On September 25, Thursday, at 08:00 ET, the mainnet beta version of Plasma will be launched alongside the release of our native token XPL, making it the 8th largest blockchain in terms of stablecoin liquidity.
A $2 billion stablecoin will be active on Plasma from day one. Capital will be distributed to over 100 DeFi partners, including Aave, Ethena, Fluid, Euler, and more. The goal is instant utility: savings that preserve value, deep USD₮ markets, and the lowest USD₮ borrowing rates in the industry.
In the mainnet beta version, we will bridge deposit transactions with Plasma, allowing users to withdraw as USD0. This will mark the completion of the final launch phase. We will enable zero-fee USD₮ transfers for all users from our dashboard: app.plasma.to
The Only Application That Gives Value to Your Money: Plasma One
Stablecoins are a fundamental and permissionless way to hold and transfer dollars anywhere. They have become a necessity for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
In every case, the dollar is a product, and a large part of the world is eager to access it. The biggest challenge with stablecoins today is the prevalence of issues during use. Many countries do not have local applications. People are forced to use general crypto wallets. Converting between stablecoins and cash is difficult. Distribution is usually tied to centralized exchanges. As a result, the existing interfaces for using internet-based currencies are inadequate.

The ERC721-like NFTs on $DUSK are currently in draft stage. DRC721 is open to everyone and is open to community contributions.
A common foundation facilitates the integration of NFTs (wallets, marketplaces, explorers), makes implementation more secure, and allows for faster market release without the need to invent something from scratch.
1) Infrastructure fees accrue to the network DuskDS is our data-availability + settlement layer. DuskEVM is the EVM app layer. Gas is paid in DUSK, and fees are part of consensus rewards. Infra usage directly benefits stakers.
2) Fees from the market layer We're building a financial market infrastructure for tokenized securities (issuance, trading, corporate actions on-chain). Venues and listing fees are policy-gated so a share can flow to stakers or a buyback/burn module. The point is to connect venue growth to token value, not leave it off-chain.
3) Fee capture across layers DuskEVM runs on the OP stack but settles to DuskDS. That lets us retain fee capture on both sides under the same token, while giving builders familiar EVM tooling.
4) Gas sponsoring Institutions and venues can sponsor user transactions in DUSK and offer fee discounts, without removing the token from the equation. This keeps the economic link between holders and the protocol strong, rather than getting away from it.
