The token $XPL is the backbone:
Staking for PoS security and governance.
Fee payment (except USDT gasless).
Rewards for validators and the ecosystem.
With a market cap of ~$200M+, price around $0.10 and high daily volume, $XPL captures the value of the mass adoption of stablecoins in a world where digital payments surpass traditional ones.
In 2026, with MiCA regulations in Europe and the boom of stablecoins in emerging markets, Plasma positions itself as the native chain for the "new global financial system". Backed by figures like Paolo Ardoino (Tether) and Peter Thiel, and with beta mainnet live + DeFi integrations, it is one of the most promising infrastructures for permissionless payments.
