The latest new project requires 3 BNB to participate, scheduled from 8 PM to 10 PM on January 19, 2026. SENT token immediately hit the daily limit down before trading opens, and after the announcement, it instantly dropped 10%. BNB, on the other hand, remained very stable. Currently, leading projects are increasingly favoring financing through a well-known exchange's Pre TGE, but frankly, such new offerings only large funds can access. The current Alpha mechanism is becoming less friendly to small and medium accounts, and big projects no longer give away free airdrops. The grand scenes like $XPL are probably becoming history.

Speaking of $XPL, we have to talk about the project behind it—Plasma. In my opinion, this is the most promising player in the stablecoin infrastructure sector in 2025.

**What exactly is Plasma?**

Simply put, Plasma is a Layer 1 public chain, fully customized for global stablecoin payment scenarios. The main selling point is straightforward: transferring USDT on this chain costs no gas fees at all.

You read that right. Users sending USDT on Plasma don’t need to hold any native tokens to pay for gas. For ordinary users who just want to transfer stablecoins and don’t want to bother with on-chain operations, this is a game-changer.

**How does it achieve this technically?**

The key is the Protocol-Level Paymaster mechanism—the protocol itself has built-in subsidy logic, directly covering the gas costs for USDT transfers. When users send stablecoins, they don’t need to pre-accumulate any XPL tokens. This approach solves the longstanding problem of how to make blockchain applications accessible to newcomers without barriers.

BNB-2,86%

XPL-9,03%

The 3 BNB threshold is back again, this time it's really a feast for big players and a show for small investors to watch --- SENT hitting the daily limit down this wave, honestly there's really no one else --- The era of free airdrops is truly gone... Sigh --- Plasma's zero Gas transfer to USDT? Sounds a bit suspicious --- Is Protocol-Level Paymaster a real innovation or just another PPT project? We'll see what happens next --- The threshold for IPOs is getting higher and higher, but the fundraising difficulty is actually decreasing? This logic doesn't quite add up --- There are a bunch of public chains in the stablecoin track, why should Plasma stand out? Think about it --- That wave of $XPL was really awesome, now it's hard to reproduce --- The setting of no Gas fees... who bears this cost? Is it sustainable in the long run? --- Small accounts are increasingly losing their way, and yet they still let us play

It's the same old trick of cutting leeks, discouraging retail investors with a 3 BNB threshold Plasma sounds good, but can XPL actually run? The airdrop era is really over; now it's all about big players Zero Gas sounds great, but the real question is whether the token will dump Small and medium accounts should have reflected long ago; chasing the trend will only lead to losses

Another 3 BNB to start, hilarious, retail investors really have no chance Zero gas sounds great, but how do we play with this token XPL later? IPO has become a game for the wealthy; let's continue to farm airdrops The Plasma Paymaster system is indeed promising; stablecoin payments without thresholds are a necessity BNB is as stable as anything, but SENT is directly underperforming Honestly, the big financial funding model is really disgusting, small and medium investors are repeatedly being cut for chives If zero gas fees can truly be implemented, that would be awesome; otherwise, it's just hype XPL dropped ten points, this is the fate of IPO trading Whether Plasma is reliable or not mainly depends on whether there is real trading volume

It's another threshold of 3 BNB. Small investors really need to wake up. I've already said it, big projects no longer rely on airdrops; now it's all about throwing money into the game. Plasma's zero gas sounds good, but how long it can actually last remains to be seen. This paymaster mechanism sounds great, but if the ecosystem can't develop, it's all for nothing. That wave of XPL truly can't come back; the times have changed, brother.
