đ Institutions Are Choosing Solana â Quietly, Strategically, Relentlessly
Solana isnât moving on hype anymore. Itâs moving on real institutional demand.
đŚ Visa goes live on Solana
Visa has expanded USDC settlement to U.S. banks on Solana, enabling 24/7, real-time payments with low fees and instant finality. This builds on a global pilot already running at a $3.5B annualized volume â and Visa explicitly cited Solanaâs speed and cost efficiency.
đ ETF & balance-sheet demand
⢠Spot Solana ETFs continue to attract inflows (~$674M+) even during market pullbacks
⢠Public companies now hold $3B+ in SOL, staking for 7â8% yields
⢠Supply tightens as more SOL gets locked, not traded
đď¸ RWAs + TradFi integration
⢠$2.4â$3.6B in real-world assets tokenized on Solana
⢠Partners include BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, JPMorgan
⢠Solana is becoming a settlement layer, not just a smart-contract chain
⥠Tech edge still widening
⢠65K+ TPS, sub-150ms finality
⢠Firedancer + Alpenglow upgrades

đ Market view

Institutions accumulate during compression â not breakouts.
đ§ The signal
Retail watches price.
Institutions build infrastructure.
Solana is no longer asking if it belongs in global finance â
itâs quietly being plugged into it. đâ¨
