The global dollar market is the largest opportunity in the world and demands exceptional talent to realize it.

Today, we have strengthened Plasma across institutions, payments, and product, building the rails for the most widely used and distributed stablecoin network.
Stablecoins are crypto’s highest-impact use case and the most significant financial innovation since the inception of fiat.

Plasma will realise this potential by distributing stablecoins through products and applications, and integrating with existing financial systems and legacy payment rails.
The stablecoin payment stack is complex and only thrives through deep integrations with the existing financial system.

@Admjcbs will join as Head of Global Payments to unlock coverage in 100+ countries and 200+ payment methods for Plasma USD₮ rails.

Prior to joining Plasma, Adam was an early executive focusing on payments at both Binance and FTX, and subsequently led digital assets at Nuvei, placing him as one of the most experienced leaders of the crypto payments universe.

Stablecoin supply will only reach trillions with institutional participation.

We are excited to announce Pascal Bourgi as Head of Institutions and Capital Markets to ensure that as institutions come onchain, they use Plasma.

Previously at Goldman Sachs, Pascal served as an Executive Director across Global Banking & Markets and the Investment Banking Division, managing FIG financing for major institutions and fintechs. He brings that discipline to build the bridges between banks, fintechs and onchain markets, accelerating institutional use of stablecoins on Plasma.
At Plasma, we are building vertically integrated infrastructure and products for stablecoin payments.

@Murat_ontop is joining as Head of Product, leading our product scope and decision-making. Previously CTO at BiLira and TRYB, the leading Turkish lira stablecoin and the leading Turkish exchange for payment flows, he will help us ship products that make payments globally accessible.

Stablecoins fundamentally disrupt global payments and bring permissionless access to core financial services. They will not distribute themselves. Digital dollars require purpose-built infrastructure, global yet localised applications, and a world-class team to reach their full potential.

The future is bright.

The new global financial system relies on a deep and robust yield economy.

To reach that scale, distribution is everything. That’s why we are excited to announce our partnership with @Binance Earn to bring the first fully onchain yield product to hundreds of millions worldwide.
@binance Binance Earn sits inside a platform that serves over 280 million people and stores more than $30B in USD₮. It is the largest and most liquid dollar market in the industry.

@binance Together we are bringing USD₮ yields directly into the environment where the majority of active participants engage with crypto.

For the first time ever, stablecoins will deliver yield at truly unprecedented global scale.

Plasma is entering the next phase of building a global financial system where money moves at internet speed, with zero fees and full transparency.

XPL is the core asset securing this system.

The public sale begins July 17 at 9:00 AM ET. Deposits and withdrawals are now locked. Image
This thread outlines how XPL is structured and how the public sale will work.

This week, Plasma went live with its deposit campaign in the lead up to our XPL public sale.

On Monday, we opened the initial cap to $500 million. This filled in under 5 minutes. Later in the week the cap was raised to $1 billion, which filled in 30 minutes. We are thrilled that just under 3,000 wallets participated in the deposit campaign, with a median deposit amount of ~$12,000.

Since then, we have announced that the deposit cap will not be further increased.
Following its acquisition of @Stablecoin, @Stripe has acquired @Privy_io, an embedded self-custody wallet provider with familiar onboarding options like passkey and Google login.

This extends Stripe’s 2024 Annual Letter pledge that its platform will be the best way to build with stablecoins. Combined with Bridge’s compliant fiat on/off ramps, Stripe now offers a true “bank in a box” on non-custodial rails.

Deal terms are undisclosed and Privy will operate independently. We expect to see more traditional payment companies and fintechs to pursue acquisitions in the stablecoin payments space.

We’re thrilled to announce that Plasma’s XPL token supply will be made available to the public via Sonar, Echo’s new token sale infrastructure.

10% of the total XPL supply will be sold in the public sale, priced at a $500 million fully diluted network valuation, matching our recent strategic round led by Founders Fund.

According to the @WSJ, some of the largest US banks such as @JPMorgan, @BankofAmerica, and @Citi are now exploring stablecoins as an essential part of their digital payment strategies.

At the same time, fresh data from @Artemis reveals that in emerging markets, stablecoin payment volumes, primarily USD₮, are reaching parity with traditional rails, particularly in regions where banking infrastructure has lagged.

What is striking is not just the speed of adoption, but the breadth of use cases now emerging as existing financial giants act decisively in the face of inevitable stablecoin adoption.

The financial system of tomorrow. Owned by you.

Announcing the XPL public sale, using Sonar by @echodotxyz.

10% of XPL will be sold at a $500M FDV, the same valuation as our latest equity round with Founders Fund.
Echo, founded by @cobie, is the leading platform for private early-stage token investing. We’ve believed in access from day one, opening our seed round to anyone through Echo.

Plasma will now be the first-ever public sale conducted through Sonar, Echo’s new public sale infrastructure.
To secure an allocation, deposit stablecoins into the Plasma vault on Ethereum, powered by @veda_labs. Your time-weighted share of total deposits determines your allocation.

Before the sale begins, the vault locks. At mainnet beta, your position bridges to Plasma, becomes withdrawable, and XPL is distributed.

Stablecoins dominated the discourse at this year’s @Token2049 in Dubai, emerging as the central theme across countless keynotes, side events, and hallway discussions.

Major announcements from @Tether_to, Trump-affiliated @worldlibertyfi, and integrations by legacy players like @Apple and @Visa underscored the growing significance of digital dollars in the global financial landscape.

Far from just being crypto infrastructure, stablecoins are now being talked about as tools of national competitiveness and global economic alignment.
@Tether_to plans to launch a stablecoin product in the US as soon as this year to comply with finalized legislation.

@Apple to permit apps to use their own payment systems according to a US District Judge court order. This is a big win for crypto applications, which will be able to reinstate their external payment systems to support cryptocurrencies.

USD1, the stablecoin by Trump-affiliated @worldlibertyfi, has been selected for official use by MGX for its $2 billion investment in Binance.
