XPL Drops as Plasma's TVL Falls ~75% Ahead of a July Unlock
XPL's hyna perp on Hyperliquid is down 17.12% over 17 hours to $0.0883, extending a months-long slide rather than reacting to one fresh headline. The real story is on-chain: Plasma's total value locked has fallen roughly 75% in 2026, among the steepest drops of any major DeFi chain, as the capital that chased its launch-era stablecoin yields keeps leaving. A July 28 unlock that frees roughly a quarter of total supply now sits about four weeks out, and the token is back near its all-time low. The counterweight is Framework Ventures, which just closed a $400 million fund and still names Plasma a core holding.
