January 20, 2026 update: @Plasma holding firm as the stablecoin L1 king despite market chop.
$XPL trading ~$0.13 with solid 24h volume $75M+ and TVL steady at ~$3.36B (stablecoins ~$1.91B, USDT leading).
Zero-fee USDT transfers keep flowing gas-free via protocol paymaster – sub-second finality, EVM-ready for devs, BTC bridge for secure liquidity.
Jan 25 unlock incoming (~88.9M XPL / ~$11M), but fundamentals dominate: Binance CreatorPad campaign (3.5M $XPL rewards thru Feb), DEX integrations pumping volume, Plasma One neobank gearing up for wider access (4% cashback cards, high-yield savings).
This chain solves real payment pain points – who's accumulating on any dip?
