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 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.
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.
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.

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.

@Circle, the issuer of USDC, filed an S-1 with the SEC for an IPO, although the offering has since been delayed. Once the offering proceeds, Circle will be the first major issuer to go public, underscoring the established role of stablecoins in the financial system.
USDC remains the second-largest dollar-backed stablecoin by market cap, trailing only @Tether_to’s USD₮. Despite acknowledgment of its reserves and compliance measures by some institutional players, Circle’s history is not without its issues. Notably, USDC experienced a brief depeg during the 2023 banking crisis, and a significant portion of its US treasury bill revenue is allocated to distribution partners.
Achieving widespread stablecoin adoption requires more than regulatory clarity. It demands robust integrations, reliable payment experiences, and a distribution network that minimizes hidden costs. The underlying infrastructure of the blockchains that support these stablecoins will ultimately determine their global scalability.
