According to the team, the network’s beta mainnet is set to be released with a $1 billion Stablecoin Total Value locked in, and is the fastest chain to reach that number. Mainly tethers (USDT), Stablecoins are used to facilitate zero-FEE transactions on the network.

Using the Bitcoin (BTC) UTXO model, Plasma is designed as an EVM compatible sidechain that combines Ethereum-like features with Bitcoin’s basic layer security. With zero-cost USDT transfers, the project aims to take advantage of the rapidly expanding Stablecoin Payments market.
The Genius Act boosts Stablecoin’s confidence
The salary increase was signed into law on July 18th by the Genius Act, the first US law to formally regulate $backed stubcoins on July 18th.
The project raised $24 million in two rounds, including support from Bitfinex, Founders Fund, Framework Ventures and Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino. The funds expand the plasma payment infrastructure in Latin America and the Middle East and are used for decentralized financial services such as Curve (CRV), Aave (Aave), and Ethena (ENA).
As the launch of the mainnet approaches, the ability of plasma to provide paid transfers and maintain network stability determines whether it can meet early demand and high ratings. Scalability, security, and regulatory compliance in post-Genius ACT environments is a major obstacle.
