Talking Tokens: Crypto, Onchain Finance, Investing · Why Plasma Bet Everything on USDT When Nobody Believed in Stablecoin Chains | Zaheer Evtakar, Plasma · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

So we really care about making sure that XPL is directly intertwined with the success case of Plasma.

Yeah, you know, th th it's a funny thing because you know even when I ended up, you know, kind of deciding to to

to join plasma and and spend my time on it.

The thing I cared about the most was that the TAM was just so massive that I couldn't even dream of working on something else.

And I think this is the first thing that I saw that actually could fulfill that.

Um and I think, you know, it there's so many answers that I've given you today that it it it

Even just one of these things, like if you get like agentic commerce correct.

that will take you an immense amount of time, resources, energy, effort, right?

Like what does that even mean?

Like you could argue that Visa has still not solved settlements uh in terms of, you know, uh making making the payment rail like that fast.

So i

I I think what really, really will count the most is just having a very clear immediate term vision for what you want to accomplish.

But the you know, what w what we kinda want to settle on over time is that we are some non-trivial percentage of you know annual GDP uh in terms of payment volume or or uh you know distribution or you know just having that level of user traction across the board.

We would like to be the largest.

you know, new bank in the world and I think we have a real shot of them.

Yeah, I I think the number one piece of advice is like no one will know better than you in order like if your company will work out or not or if your vision will work out or not.

So just like hammer that home as much as possible.

Um but also keep yourself as honest as possible to say, I am not bullshitting myself.

I'm very much trying to like

you know, be the best ver best version of myself in order to kinda win that vertical, that idea, that that that story.
