Stablecoins are tokens pegged 1:1 by a matching fiat currency. They offer permissionless access to leading currencies like the US dollar, along with near-instant, low-cost, 24/7 global settlement.
Stablecoins are crypto’s fastest-growing use case and USD₮—issued by Tether—leads the way with over $140 billion in supply. Backed by Bitfinex and USD₮0, Plasma enables zero-fee USD₮ transfers.
Most blockchains were built before stablecoins existed and aren’t tailored to their needs. As a result, stablecoins settle on chains with high transaction fees, centralization issues, or frequent transaction failures—without any special features to support them. Plasma is purpose-built for the needs of stablecoins.
