Everyone debated @solana's potential. May 2026 ended the debate. On May 4, @WesternUnion launched USDPT - a dollar-backed stablecoin on Solana, live in production, replacing SWIFT for agent settlements across 200 countries. The list now includes @PayPal, @Paxos, @Worldpay_Global, @SoFi, @Fiserv, Western Union. All on the same chain. @SolanaFndn's Head of Payments @sherazshere has a name for it: the cold start problem being solved Speed and low cost used to be the differentiator. Those are now table stakes. What isn't replicable is five years of liquidity, global rails, and integrations that each make the next one more inevitable. Each new enterprise arrives to liquidity already there - lowers the cost of the next decision - makes the list longer - deepens the liquidity further. The cold start problem is solved.

One of America's largest digital banks is rebuilding settlement infrastructure for the stablecoin era. @SoFi's Ben Reynolds and Simon Griffin sit down with @CaddleMaya for the debut episode of Mint Condition. They unpack why SoFi is rebuilding SEN, launching SoFiUSD, and the future of banking onchain. Full episode below ⬇️ 00:00 — SoFi and the bank of the future 01:22 — SEN, what it was, why SoFi is rebuilding it 06:11 — SoFiUSD: the insured depository advantage 15:00 — Liquidity is the least understood part of stablecoin issuance 17:46 — Distribution, partnerships, and what comes next

Yield-bearing assets (tokenized funds) account for ~10% of the stablecoin market. Adoption is shifting toward dollars that generate yield, not just facilitate transactions. Issuers of tokenized funds looking good going forward. A ratio to follow 👇

Stablecoins won global adoption. Every major company is rushing to integrate them in their daily operations. But what comes after that? In my latest piece for @TheStreet, I've analyzed the two biggest challenges that the industry will face in the near future.

99.6% of stablecoins are pegged to the U.S. Dollar. The global financial system is materially more diversified --> current structure is unlikely to be a long-term equilibrium. Issuers focused on non-USD currencies --> great opportunity today, given the limited competition.

Multinational stablecoins are having their moment Tagging every major (500M market cap cutoff for USD-backed) stablecoin we could find on @Solana, who's missing from this list? @circle $USDC & $EURC @Tether_to $USDT @global_dollar $USDG @PayPal $PYUSD @worldlibertyfi $USD1 @VNX_Platform $VEUR & $VCHF @tokenGBP $tGBP @BrzToken $BRZ @GMOTrust $GYEN @AUDD_digital $AUDD @etherfuse $MXNe @cngn_co $cNGN @ZARP_Stablecoin $ZARP @StraitsX $XSDG

the fact that Solana devs are building assembly-level tooling like Dropset while most L1s are still arguing about execution environments is exactly why the performance gap keeps widening. SBPF is becoming its own ecosystem

4/ While the Frontier Hackathon is online, we're inviting a select group of founders to build IRL at Colosseum's SF office during the competition. Approved devs get a desk/monitor an interview for our next accelerator batch. SF Build Station | Apply: luma.com/0jak2r3a

In 6 Days, @solana Accelerate USA🇺🇸 lands in Miami alongside @consensus2026 to turn up the heat on American innovation. See you there!

.@humidifi did $5B in volume last month. Their secret? A 47 CU oracle update written in assembly. With Anchor v2, you can debug it step by step.
