Like Bitcoin, it\u2019s a public chain, but unlike general-purpose platforms such as Ethereum or Solana, Plasma is laser-focused on powering stablecoins, especially USDT from Tether.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This focus makes perfect sense. While there\u2019s no direct tie to Tether Holdings, Plasma is supported by Bitfinex, whose owners also control the USDT issuer. Beyond Tether, which issues USDT, the world\u2019s largest stablecoin by market cap, Plasma draws heavyweight investors like Peter Thiel, the renowned backer of successful crypto ventures, including Riot Mining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Technically, what sets Plasma apart is its ground-up design for efficiency. Scalability is baked in, but the real magic lies in enabling near-zero-fee USDT transfers through a specialized paymaster system. It hit the ground running, attracting over $2Bn in commitments moments after launch. More than <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/app.plasma.to\/ecosystem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">50 DeFi partners<\/a>, including crypto heavyweights like Aave, Ethena, and Curve, are already live on Plasma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Furthermore, less than a day in, over $1.1Bn in stablecoins have been bridged from Ethereum and Arbitrum via LayerZero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-287696 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-26T114910.997.png\" alt=\"Plasma mainnet is live.

Indirectly powered by Tether, Plasma has the financial muscle to challenge Tron head-on, potentially consolidating USDT operations on its chain. USDT sends on Plasma? Zero fees. Bridging to Plasma?
