Solana - 12.12.2025
2. Tag Solana Breakpoint Conference
Something is happening, something is going on. Solana is growing in many areas and shows broad growth.
Here are the current NEWS from today.
Blockworks
and the Solana Foundation are launching a joint platform for institutional investors called “Lightspeed IR”.
This will bundle on-chain data, institutional research reports, governance updates, KPI datasets, token events, etc. and
provide a central information infrastructure for professional investors and token issuers in the Solana ecosystem.
Conclusion: can attract capital and projects, but only if the tool is used.
Solana Mobile
launched Builder Grants for mobile crypto apps. Goal: more mobile-first Web3 applications in the Solana ecosystem.
Conclusion: More good mobile apps, more wallet usage, more on-chain activity, more ecosystem growth.
R3
is working with Solana on Real-World Assets (RWA). An institutional tokenization and DeFi integration is planned with a view to 2026.
Conclusion: If the R3 network really brings volume, it can strengthen Solana institutionally (tokenization, settlement, new DeFi products).
Carrot
introduced Turbo Tokens – a new DeFi product for structured, leveraged positions with limited risk.
Conclusion: More DeFi products, potentially more fees/volume in the ecosystem, but only if users also adopt it.
Notes, opinions, and news that I forgot can be written as a comment.

Why NFTs have crashed and what remains
The NFT market has massively collapsed in recent years – but the technology is not dead. Here are the main reasons why the hype has burst, and what remains
Why NFTs have crashed
Speculation bubble burst
In 2021/22, many NFTs were purchased only to sell them at a higher price. Too much hype, too little real utility → market collapses.
Too many bad projects
Anyone could start a collection. 99% had no roadmap, no product, no community.
Trust was lost.
Bear market & high interest rates
When capital becomes scarcer, it hits the riskiest assets first – and those were NFTs.
Scams & Rug Pulls
Fake collections, disappeared teams, empty promises. Many new buyers were disappointed once and never returned.
BUT
NFTs are not gone – they are changing
The hype around profile pictures (PFPs) is ending – but the technology remains extremely strong.
Tickets & Access
Events, clubs, concerts, memberships.
An NFT = your digital access.
Gaming
Weapons, skins, items, characters – truly owned by the players.
Brands & Loyalty
Starbucks, Nike, Adidas, Solana Mobile → membership passes & airdrop rights.
Tokenized In-Game Economies
Solana is showing how quickly and cheaply NFT gaming can work.
Airdrops & Ecosystem Passes
Seeker / Saga / Ecosystem NFTs → access to rewards, drops, new projects.
Conclusion
The NFT bubble has burst.
The technology is now maturing.
The future lies in real use cases.

Mastercard acquires BVNK for approximately $1.8 billion and thereby significantly expands its stablecoin infrastructure.
Solana is part of Mastercard's new Crypto Partner Program. The program aims to develop products and services that connect the speed and programmability of digital assets with existing card and commerce rails.
BVNK connects traditional fiat payment rails with stablecoins and blockchain networks in more than 130 countries.
Mastercard aims to link on-chain payments, stablecoins, and tokenized assets directly with the existing global payment network and create more interoperability between fiat and stablecoins.
Solana itself highlighted the Mastercard connection in March. Mastercard relies on real payment infrastructure. Stablecoins and tokenized values will become more integrated into everyday life. A significant step towards real on-chain payments.

A SEC-registered transfer agent brings tokenized shares to Solana together with Alphaledger.
The first issuer is the NASDAQ-listed company Silo Pharma.
This involves real, regulated share structures. Managed by an official transfer agent.
This means the connection between stock exchange and blockchain, legally valid ownership, and new infrastructure for the capital market.
It's not a mass market yet, but a clear step towards real financial infrastructure on Solana💪

Iran War!
Dangerous Precedent! Desalination plants as next targets?
Iran struck a desalination plant in Bahrain with a drone this morning, causing "material damage."
Bahrain and regional media report that the water supply for consumers has so far largely been maintained.
Iran accuses the USA of having previously bombed its own desalination plant on the Iranian island of Qeschm.
Tehran speaks of a dangerous precedent.
If desalination plants continue to be deliberately destroyed, it will trigger a massive humanitarian risk. Oil is a luxury; water is needed for daily survival.
Around 100 million people in the Gulf region rely directly on seawater desalination for their drinking water!
Every day I think it can't get worse, until I read the news.

Solana is strongly used for machine micro-payments. Solana currently controls about 50% of this market.
Agent-to-Agent payments. Programs pay programs, AI pays AI.
Automatically and in real time.
Solana has very low fees, fast finality, and high scalability. Ideal for many small transactions.
When AI agents buy services, data, or computing power in the future,
they need a blockchain that reliably handles many small payments.
Solana shows real usage here.
Micro payments are no longer a topic for the future. They are already in progress.

That's true, but this is the future. Currently, crypto is still very vulnerable. Especially during bad news on the weekend, only crypto can be sold.
Cryptocurrencies were supposed to be resistant to
-wars
-political games
-fed
-crises of all kinds
and are vulnerable to everything, so there is no value and certainty in holding this money, which will soon be lost, and the worst part is that from the specter of stable and certain savings, it has become a purely speculative stock asset that gives our money to those who govern everything.

Michael Saylor says
The future of programmable digital credit will run on Solana.
What does he mean by that?
Digital credits are issued as tokens. Interest, duration, liquidity, and rules are defined in the code.
Automatic settlement. Transparent conditions.
This is infrastructure for tokenized bonds, corporate financing, credit funds, and digital money markets.
Why Solana?
Very fast transactions, low fees, and high scalability.
For credit markets, performance is essential.
Slow and expensive chains are hardly suitable for that.
Technically, this is already very feasible on Solana, and I think it will definitely come.
The question is when institutions will arrive.
Regulation is not yet clear everywhere, institutions are moving slowly, and banks want to retain control for as long as possible.
