Most “send-a-stablecoin” flows still begin with: go buy a different token first.
Plasma’s bet is to keep the Ethereum experience familiar by pairing PlasmaBFT with a Reth-based execution layer, so contracts behave like they do on Ethereum while settlement stays fast and deterministic.
Instead of forcing an XPL top-up, the plan is to let a protocol paymaster take fees in whitelisted tokens like USD₮/BTC—and even sponsor simple USD₮ transfers via a tightly scoped relayer (both labeled “under active development”). 
A recent update—the January 2026 NEAR Intents integration—signals they’re thinking about routing into the rail, while the Bitcoin bridge design aims to avoid a single custodian by relying on independent verifiers watching Bitcoin to mint pBTC. 
The public testnet explorer already shows ~2.53M transactions processed, which is enough volume to surface the boring failure modes payments apps actually hit.
And with USD₮ around $187B in circulation, removing the “buy-a-gas-token-first” step isn’t polish—it’s the difference between a niche workflow and something normal people can repeat daily.
Takeaway: when the money is stable, the rails should be stable too—priced in the same unit, simple on first use, and harder to lean on.
