Borrowing the words of Binance founder, CZ "keep building irrespective of the market condition". Plasma ecosystem is maintaining it by actively building even as crypto market continue to plummet.
@Plasma is Layer 1 network designed exclusively for stablecoin payments, launched in September 2025. Over the short period of time, Plasma has quietly amassed billions in total value locked (TVL) by addressing fragmentation in global finance via zero-fee USDT transfers, instant settlement, and institutional grade infrastructure.
💥 Understanding $XPL's Tokenomics Structure:
Plasma's tokenomics was built on a fixed total supply of 10 billion XPL tokens, with a programmatic inflation schedule that starts at 5% annually and tapers down by 0.5% each year to a 3% baseline. This inflation funds validator rewards in a proof of stake (PoS) system, ensuring network security without excessive dilution.
💥 Tying Network Usage to $XPL
Plasma's value accrual thesis hinges on three interconnected pillars; (gas fees, staking, and burns) that convert real-world network usage into sustained demand for $XPL.
As stablecoin transactions continue to expand/penetrate remittances, e-commerce, DeFi, and institutional finance, these mechanisms capture and compound value.
💥 How Gas Fee is fueling demand of XPL
While plasma blockchain is widely known for offering zero fees transfer for simple USDT transactions to aid everyday users, other operations like complex smart contract interactions, non-usdt swaps, and general DeFi interaction requires XPL token as gas.
This selective fee structure preserves strong economics, and amplifies XPL's utility and demand within the ecosystem.
For investors eyeing the intersection of crypto and real-world finance, $XPL isn't just a token, it's a stake in the future of borderless, efficient payment (money).
