Alt Season Confirmed

Moving dollars around the world at scale is actually very hard. People think it’s just send and receive, but that only works when volume is small. Once you go global, you need rails that run end to end, no breaks, no delays.

That’s where Plasma is coming in. On Plasma $XPL USDT settles almost instantly, like sub-second finality, and on top of that there are zero transfer fees. That alone already changes how money can move. But Plasma is not stopping with just fast transfers.

Now they are licensing their payments stack, so companies that are building settlement systems, custody platforms, exchanges, or payment apps can just use Plasma as the default chain. Instead of everyone reinventing the wheel, Plasma becomes the base layer for moving money.

On the regulation side, they’re not playing games either. Plasma already acquired a VASP-licensed entity in Italy, opened an office in the Netherlands, and hired serious compliance people. We’re talking a Chief Compliance Officer and also a Money Laundering Reporting Officer. That’s not cheap and not something you do if you’re not serious long term.
Next step is even bigger. They plan to apply for CASP authorization under MiCA, which would let them properly support custody and exchange for users in Europe. After that, they’re preparing for an EMI license, so fiat on-ramps and off-ramps can be integrated directly into Plasma’s stablecoin system. No extra layers, no third-party mess.
By licensing the whole stack for global money movement, Plasma can serve much larger markets and work with partners in many more regions. This is basically how Plasma One plans to operate like a real stablecoin neobank, not just another crypto app. This is also how Plasma wants to deliver on its mission building stablecoin infrastructure for a new global financial system.
That’s why they keep saying Plasma is the chain for money. It’s not marketing fluff, it’s positioning.
And if you zoom out, you can see the whole industry moving this way.
Western Union just announced USDPT, a US dollar payment token issued by Anchorage Digital. They also launched a Digital Asset Network, working with wallets and providers to make cash off-ramps easier. That’s a company with 170+ years of history going into stablecoins.
JPYC also launched a yen-pegged stablecoin, fully backed by Japanese deposits and government bonds. Like other issuers, they’ll make money by earning interest on those bond holdings. This is how stablecoins become profitable businesses.
Then you have Mastercard, which is reportedly finalizing a deal to acquire Zerohash for around $2 billion. What’s interesting is Zerohash raised $100M earlier this year and was valued near $1B. That shows how fast infrastructure value is moving.
Other headlines just confirm the trend:
Visa is adding support for four stablecoins across four blockchains, after stablecoin-linked Visa card spending quadrupled in Q4
Kyrgyzstan announced a national stablecoin on Binance Smart Chain, working with Changpeng Zhao
The European Central Bank is openly talking about launching a digital currency around 2027 to protect eurozone financial independence
Right now, total stablecoin supply is around $307.4B. USDT is still dominating with about 59.7% market share, roughly $183.6B. At this level, stablecoins already make up more than 1.38% of the entire US M2 money supply.

That number alone tells you this is not a small experiment anymore. Stablecoins are quietly becoming real money infrastructure, and Plasma is clearly trying to position itself right in the middle of that shift.

In many parts of the Global South, QR payments are already taking over, faster than cards ever did. In fact, for a lot of people, plastic cards never even became a thing. You walk into a small shop, a food stall, or even a bus ticket booth, and all you see is a printed QR code taped on the wall. Scan, pay, done.

Now with AliXPayGlobal, things are getting even more interesting. USDT on Plasma will be spendable at over 34 million merchants across Southeast Asia, reaching more than 200 million users, and the merchant still receives fiat instantly. No waiting, no crypto stress on their side. For the shop owner, it feels like normal money hitting their account, but under the hood, it’s crypto doing the work.

This kind of news shows why the Global South keeps leapfrogging old systems again and again. There was no heavy card infrastructure built, no legacy terminals everywhere, so crypto-native payments just slide in easily. A street vendor selling coffee for $1 doesn’t need a Visa machine, they just need a phone and a QR code. That’s it.
And let’s be clear, 34 million merchants is not small. That’s serious distribution. That’s markets, malls, taxis, pharmacies, online stores, even tiny family businesses. QR payments growing at this speed only makes the $XPL ecosystem stronger. Everything built inside it, including lunaxpl_, suddenly becomes more attractive.
If $XPL starts getting directly integrated into these payment flows, the whole ecosystem upgrades to another level. More usage, more visibility, more people seeing it in real life, not just on charts or Twitter threads. lunaxpl_ especially could benefit a lot from that kind of exposure
This is a massive step forward. Real-world USDT spending, at scale, is exactly how stablecoins stop being “crypto stuff” and start becoming normal money for everyday people. Plasma + AliXPay together? Honestly, that’s a killer combo for global adoption.

Plasma $XPL is really moving fast, and honestly many people didn’t expect this kind of speed. Imagine this in just about four months, YuzuMoneyX already locked around $70 million in TVL. That’s not small money at all, especially in crypto where most projects take years to gain trust, and some never even reach $10M.

For a newbie, think of TVL like money people actually trust and leave inside the system. It’s like opening a new bank shop and in a few months, people already deposit millions there. That alone tells you something is working, even if it’s not perfect.

Now here is where it gets more interesting. This year, they want to launch a neobank. Not just another crypto app, but something that connects crypto to real life. On-ramps, off-ramps, banking rails, and even cards you can swipe. For many cash-based businesses in Southeast Asia, this is big. Picture a small shop owner who mostly deals in cash. Today, he can barely touch crypto. Tomorrow, he could receive stablecoins, convert easily, and still pay suppliers or buy stock like normal.
Plasma is not just talking theory. They are trying to plug stablecoins into everyday money flow. Stablecoins here are like digital dollars that don’t jump up and down like Bitcoin. So a business can accept them without fear of waking up broke the next day.
If you’re someone building financial apps, this is why people say “build on Plasma.” It’s not hype only. The rails are being built for real usage, not just trading screenshots on X.

The image shows this could be the best moment to buy the dip.
Of course, it’s still early. Crypto is risky, and nothing is guaranteed. But the traction in such a short time is hard to ignore. Mixing stablecoin tech with real banking access for people who mostly use cash… that’s where things start to feel real, not just crypto talk. Let’s see how it grows, but so far, this move looks serious.

Most people still stuck in old systems, and honestly I don’t blame them. Banks, cards, waiting days for settlement, fees hidden everywhere. You swipe, but behind the scene it’s slow, messy, and expensive. Now Plasma XPL comes with something different, and Oobit just made it very real.

So here is the thing.
Oobit just brought USDT on Plasma to more than 100 million Visa merchants worldwide. That’s not small news. This is not theory. This is not “coming soon”. This is everyday life stuff.

Let me break it in a way anyone can feel it.
Imagine this:
You have USDT sitting in your wallet. Not in a bank. Not in some exchange waiting to be withdrawn. Just your normal crypto wallet. You walk into a supermarket, a restaurant, or even pay for a hotel. They accept Visa. You pay. Done. The merchant gets paid instantly. No stress. No “crypto explanation” to the cashier.
That’s what Oobit + Plasma $XPL is doing.
Oobit is backed by Tether, so we’re not talking about some random app nobody trusts. USDT is already used by millions as digital dollars. Oobit simply connects that money to the real world, without forcing you into extra steps.
Before this, spending crypto was painful.
You had to: Send funds to an exchange
– Convert
– Withdraw to a card
– Wait
– Pay fees again
Example: You want to buy a $50 item. By the time everything clears, you lose $5–$10 just in fees and time. That’s an outdated system pretending to be modern.
With Oobit on Plasma XPL, you pay directly from the wallet you already use. No extra transfers. No topping up some separate card balance. You stay on-chain, but the merchant doesn’t even need to know you used crypto. For them, it just looks like Visa.
Another example, very real:
A small business owner sells coffee. He doesn’t want crypto volatility, he wants stable money. With this system, he gets instant payout, stable value, no waiting days like banks do. That’s powerful.
And let’s talk fees.
On-chain fees are reduced. That’s huge. Old networks make small payments impossible. Paying $3 coffee with $2 fee is madness. Plasma fixes this. The standard just leveled up, honestly.
Wherever Visa works, Oobit works. That means airports, online shops, local stores, almost everywhere on earth. This is crypto stepping out of Twitter and Telegram, and entering real life.
In times like now, inflation eating savings, people need efficiency. They need stability. Systems like this reduce friction. They give people control. That’s why solutions like this, and even concepts like deflation-focused assets, start making sense. You can’t survive the future with outdated tools.
This is not hype.
This is crypto finally acting like money.
If you’re still stuck in old systems, waiting, paying, trusting middlemen Plasma XPL and Oobit just showed there’s another way.

Rain is now live on Plasma $XPL and honestly this is one of those updates people may scroll past without realizing how big it actually is.

What Raincards are doing is simple to say, but powerful in real life. Now people and businesses can spend Plasma USDT at more than 150 million merchants worldwide. That means your stablecoins are no longer just numbers sitting in a wallet. You can pay for food, hotels, flights, subscriptions, even everyday shopping, almost anywhere Visa is accepted. No drama, no explaining crypto to the cashier.

Rain has always been about meeting builders where they already are. Their partners are building across many blockchains, not just one. So instead of forcing everyone to migrate, Rain decided to support Plasma, a Layer 1 that is purpose-built for global payments. This makes sense, because Plasma is focused on speed, stability, and real-world usage, not just hype.

With this new integration, teams building on Plasma can now launch their own card programs. And these are not demo cards or test products. These are real cards backed by stablecoins, giving USDT real spending power in the physical world. It’s basically turning crypto into something you can actually live with, not just trade.
What many people don’t see is how careful Rain is with security. They don’t just “plug in a chain and go live.” Their protocol engineers design custom smart contracts for every new blockchain they support. Before anything goes public, external auditors review everything to make sure it’s safe. And even after launch, audits don’t stop. This is about long-term trust, not shortcuts.
Another key point: Rain is the only Visa Principal Member that allows partners to launch and manage card programs across multiple blockchains at the same time. That’s huge. It removes a lot of friction for teams who want global reach without rebuilding everything for each chain. One system, many ecosystems, global cards that work at over 150 million merchants.
Plasma’s integration didn’t happen randomly. It followed real demand from partners who want to expand card access across different ecosystems. This shows there is growing appetite to move stablecoins from wallets into everyday life.
In simple terms, this is crypto doing what it promised years ago: making digital money usable in the real world. Not tomorrow, not “soon”, but now.

EURØP is finally live on Plasma $XPL , and honestly this one feels different. This is not just another stablecoin announcement people scroll past on Crypto Twitter. This is Euro money actually stepping on-chain in a serious way.
EURØP is a Euro-backed stablecoin, meaning 1 EURØP follows the value of the real euro, not the US dollar. It’s issued by Schuman_io, a well known European fintech, not some anonymous team. Now here’s where it gets interesting through the upshift_fi vault on Plasma, both people and businesses can earn institutional-grade yield on their euros.

Think about this for a second. Right now, like 99% of stablecoins are dollar-pegged. USDT, USDC, DAI… all dollars. Why? Because most on-chain yield products are built around the dollar system. If you are in Europe holding euros, your money usually just sits there doing nothing, or you convert to dollars and take extra risk.
With EURØP on Plasma, that problem starts to disappear.
Imagine a small European business holding €50,000 for salaries or suppliers. Normally that cash just sleeps in the bank. Now, instead of converting to USD or touching risky assets, they can park those euros in the K3 EURØP vault, curated by k3_capital and powered by Upshift, and earn yield like big institutions do. Same euro, but now it works for you.
Or picture a regular person in Europe. You get paid in euros, you believe in crypto, but you don’t want dollar exposure. EURØP lets you stay in euros, on-chain, and still earn yield. That’s a big mental shift.
Plasma hosting EURØP also matters. It shows Plasma is not just chasing hype, but building real financial rails. Euro holders are now one step closer to serious, institutional-grade opportunities without leaving the blockchain world.
This is how on-chain finance grows quietly. Not with noise, but by solving real problems people actually feel every day.
