The firm plans to use its funding to continue developing its network, which is an EVM-compatible Bitcoin sidechain to facilitate USDT transfers with no fees, according to a release shared with The Block.
"With US President Donald Trump signing an executive order to promote the development and growth of dollar-backed stablecoins, we believe that stablecoins will play an important role in global US dollar dominance over the next decade,” said Plasma Founder and CEO Paul Faecks in a statement. “By leveraging Bitcoin as a foundation, zero-fee USD₮ transfers, alongside a purpose-built ecosystem and infrastructure for stablecoins with deep liquidity, Plasma creates the most secure, scalable, and efficient blockchain for stablecoins on the market.”
Plasma previously raised $3.5 million in funding led by Bitfinex in October 2024.
