I only see one key point in this XPL "hot topic": the cross-chain gateway is finally functioning as a gateway! Guys, the most valuable information I saw from @plasma today wasn't the "new narrative," but the integration with NEAR Intents on January 23rd: bringing $XPL/USDT0 into the "chain abstraction's" liquidity pool essentially changes the user's first step from "learning about bridges first, then routing" to "directly exchanging for the asset you want." In short, a smoother gateway is essential before discussing usage density. However, I also have to pour some cold water: on-chain data isn't all hype. Plasma's stablecoin market capitalization on DefiLlama is approximately $1.922 billion, and Bridged TVL is approximately $7.057 billion—a considerable market. However, the 7-day DEX trading volume has plummeted (weekly change -70%), indicating that "money is there, but transactions aren't necessarily happening." It's likely that deposit-type funds account for a high proportion, while real payment and currency exchange demand is still adjusting. In terms of price, $XPL is currently around $0.12, with a decent 24-hour trading volume. However, if this volume is largely driven by "hot topics," then we need to look at two things: 1) Can the cross-chain currency exchange enabled by Intents boost DEX volume and fees? 2) Can the zero-fee USDT experience be leveraged for real-world merchant/payment transactions rather than just a one-off event? My own attitude towards XPL is simple: treat it as an engineering challenge—building a "stablecoin settlement chain"—not an emotional one. A good entry point is a plus; but the data needs to keep up, otherwise it's just a smoother "piggy bank." @Plasma $XPL {spot}(XPLUSDT) #plasma

I rarely launch Alpha events on Binance Square, but this is a truly unmissable opportunity. HumidiFi, Solana's largest dark pool, accounting for one-third of DEX trading volume, is about to launch its ICO. - Date: December 3rd - Platform: Jupiter DTF - ICO Valuation: Whitelist round 50M; Public round 69M My share is very small, so it will be completely full. The market has been terrible lately, so this is an opportunity with high certainty that needs to be cherished. $JUP
