The Plasma blockchain, optimized for stablecoins, is set to launch its Mainnet Beta on September 25, 2025. This innovative platform features its native token called XPL and introduces the PlasmaBFT architecture designed for fast and composable stablecoin transactions.

With initial liquidity exceeding $2 billion secured from over 100 partners, Plasma ensures strong market capability from the outset. One of the standout features of Plasma is the ability for users to transfer USDT tokens without any transaction fees using the Plasma dashboard, making stablecoin transactions more affordable and accessible.

The project has successfully raised $24 million during its seed and Series A rounds, with leading investments from Framework Ventures, along with notable figures like Peter Thiel and Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. This robust funding underscores confidence in Plasma's potential.

Regarding token distribution, 10% of XPL tokens have been made available via a public offering before launch, 25 million tokens will be allocated to the community at launch, and 2.5 million tokens are reserved for the Stablecoin Collective to foster ecosystem growth.

For users interested in buying XPL or other cryptocurrencies, platforms like Bitlet.app offer a unique advantage. Bitlet.app allows users to purchase cryptocurrencies through its Crypto Installment service, enabling you to buy now and pay monthly instead of making a full payment upfront.

Stay tuned for September 25, 2025, as Plasma aims to redefine stablecoin transactions with fast, scalable, and fee-less transfers, powered by the innovative PlasmaBFT blockchain.
