I thought stablecoin payments were already solved… until Plasma arrived

For a long time, I assumed Tron and Ethereum had locked their positions in the stablecoin space. Billions in USDT move there every day, and it felt like no one could challenge them.

But Plasma ($XPL), listed today on Bitget, makes me question that. Unlike most new blockchains, Plasma isn’t chasing DeFi hype or NFTs — it’s laser-focused on scaling stablecoin payments. The numbers speak for themselves: $24M raised, $2B liquidity integrated at launch, and even gasless USDT transfers at the protocol level. Add to that 1,000 TPS with instant finality, and you can see why people are calling it a potential “stablecoin chain #1.”

Bitget is backing the listing with a Launchpool and CandyBomb, which gives traders a chance to test the token early.

Now I can’t help but wonder: could Plasma re

ally shift the balance away from Tron, or will users stick to what they already know?
