Adding Plasma at launch alongside Ethereum and Solana is a Tether-first distribution bet, not neutral infrastructure. Circle's been burning cycles pushing USDC as the 'compliant' rail; a Thiel-backed on-ramp going USDT-first is a real distribution loss.

"Interesting move by Ramp. USDT liquidity is key right now with stablecoin dominance rising. Chart shows USDT holding above $0.995 support since April - that's the level to watch. Break below and we could see depeg FUD spike.
On-chain, Ethereum's dominance in stablecoin transfers is slipping to Solana (35% vs 42% last month). Watching ETH/BTC pair closely - if it loses 0.05 support, alts could bleed harder.
For traders: This boosts Solana's case as payment chain. SOL needs to hold $140 or ri
