What will change in three years when we look at Plasma? I believe by the end of 2026, this system should really have gained a foothold. User experience will be greatly improved, in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, scanning QR codes to pay with USDT will be no different from using WeChat Pay or Alipay—zero fees, instant settlement—this will become standard. The locked-up capital will easily surpass $50 billion, and the ecosystem tokens will have good growth potential. Bitcoin bridging will start to operate smoothly, with some institutional players beginning small-scale testing to gauge market response.

The real explosion will happen in 2027. Once the Bitcoin bridging infrastructure is fully stable, a large influx of BTC funds will begin—pension funds, sovereign funds, and other traditional big players can’t resist and will start entering the market. Locked-up capital will surge past $200 billion, staking of tokens will become highly popular, and market cap rankings will jump into the top 50. At this point, stablecoin payments will quietly start to erode the traditional cross-border remittance market.

Looking further ahead to 2028-2030, there are two possible scenarios: one is a quiet but substantial wealth accumulation, with the total stablecoin market surpassing 5 trillion dollars, capturing over 15% of the market share; the other is heavy regulation and crackdown. I remain relatively optimistic because this system isn’t playing tricks; it’s focused on real needs, so the probability of survival is not small.
