1.《Plasma, highly anticipated, goes live tonight. Can it change the landscape of on-chain payments?》
A funding news piece from stablecoin giant Tether is enough to hold the entire traditional financial industry's breath. According to Bloomberg, the "central bank of the crypto world" managing nearly $173 billion USDT is seeking a valuation of up to $500 billion in a round of $15-20 billion private funding. What does this number mean? It means that Tether's scale will directly rival global top-tier tech unicorns like OpenAI and SpaceX, while its staggering $4.9 billion net profit for a single quarter puts many traditional financial institutions to shame. This is not just funding; this is a "hidden whale" rising from the crypto world, making a formal value declaration to the traditional financial system.

Plasma embodies this in the world of on-chain payments and revenue opportunities. Rather than being another all-purpose chain, competing with impractical technical innovations, Plasma laser-focuses on becoming infrastructure for institutional use.
