I was thinking about something interesting while looking at the growth of stablecoin payments.
Users may soon be able to move billions in stablecoins without ever needing to buy or hold $ETH or $SOL themselves.
The experience becomes simple: open the app, send USDC, and forget everything happening underneath.
But there’s one thing abstraction cannot remove: the gas bill.
Someone still has to pay for blockspace.
That changes where native token demand comes from. Instead of millions of individual users constantly acquiring gas tokens, demand could increasingly shift toward a smaller group of wallets, paymasters, and infrastructure providers operating at scale.
So the question isn't whether gas demand disappears.
It's who ends up holding the tokens required to pay for it.
That could become one of the most important structural changes in the next phase of crypto adoption. 👀
