Red screens everywhere. The kind of market where you stop checking prices because it’s the same story every time. In the middle of that, XPL slid to around 0.0898 and settled near 0.09. Not pretty, sure. But also… not chaos. When a lot of big names were cracking, @Plasma didn’t snap. It absorbed the hit and kept its shape. That’s a small detail people gloss over, but it’s usually the one that matters later.
Markets under stress have a way of exposing the difference between hype and conviction. Anyone can hold when things are flying. Holding when it’s uncomfortable, when headlines are quiet and timelines are loud with fear -- that’s different. The way XPL moved didn’t feel like blind loyalty. It felt like a community that understands what’s being built and doesn’t feel the need to rush for the door.
And while price was doing its thing, the real story kept unfolding in the background.
YuzuMoney didn’t make noise, it made progress.👇
Four months in and already sitting at around $70 million in TVL. That’s not a fluke. Now they’re lining up a neobank launch, bringing proper banking rails, on-ramps, off-ramps, cards, the boring stuff that actually changes lives -- to millions of cash-first businesses across Southeast Asia. This isn’t crypto talking to itself. This is crypto stepping into the real economy, a bit awkwardly maybe, but for real.
All of it is being built on #Plasma .
That’s when the price action starts to feel less random. Plasma isn’t designed for speculative rushes. It’s built for stablecoins, for movement, for systems that don’t shut down just because sentiment turns sour. When markets get rough, that kind of foundation doesn’t suddenly lose relevance. If anything, it becomes more obvious.
So no, this isn’t about calling bottoms or pretending everything’s fine. It’s about noticing resilience when most people are only watching volatility. $XPL didn’t need to be loud. It just needed to stay standing. And sometimes that’s the moment where the long-term story quietly takes shape, while everyone else is still staring at the wreckage.
