BlockBeats News, August 22nd. Today, the $250 million quota for the second round of Binance Plasma USDT fixed-term product was sold out within 3 minutes, attracting market attention. On June 9th, an address spent 39.15 ETH (worth about $100,000) on exorbitant Gas fees, becoming the first address to make a Plasma deposit, successfully staking 10.17 million USDC.

The Plasma backer lineup is strong, being a Layer 1 blockchain designed for stablecoins, aiming to optimize stablecoin payments and settlement, providing an efficient, low-cost, and secure transaction experience.
