The institutions are coming to Solana — the decentralized global marketplace for everyone.

The future of global finance will be on chain.

Our goal is clear: we're setting new standards for how you transact.
LBTC now live on AAVE
LBTC is the first and only Bitcoin LST to make the leap onto @aave — the world's largest lending protocol.
Starting today, AAVE users can borrow ETH, USDC, WBTC, and more against LBTC, as well as supply liquidity to earn interest.
Time is money — yet $4T still sits trapped in pre-funded accounts just so global payments can work. In 2025, we're still waiting days and paying 7% to move value across borders.
Messari analyst Austin Weiler recently published an in-depth report covering how PayFi on Solana fixes this. We’ve got you covered with some highlights:
1. Cross-border settlement reimagined
Huma Protocol’s Arf USDC pool on Solana processed $2.8B with zero defaults, turning $16M into 50 cycles per year and 86% growth in 2024.
2. Lower costs for merchants
Traditional card payments cost merchants 3%+ and take days to settle. 6,000+ merchants now use Solana Pay via Helio on Shopify: instant settlement, 1% fees, no chargebacks.
3. Privacy preserving settlement for institutions
Spherenet, a permissioned SVM blockchain by Sphere Labs, is bringing compliant, privacy-preserving settlement to regulated financial institutions.
4. DePIN financing
Roam is launching the first DePIN hardware financing program native to Solana — users can finance Wi-Fi routers with just 30% down, then repay through mining rewards.
5. Digital asset-backed payments
Reap has released Solana stablecoin-backed credit cards that work anywhere Visa is accepted — while Sanctum's enabling new creator support models through liquid staking tokens.
PayFi isn't just improving the $16T credit card market and $89T B2B payment market. It's building near instant, sub-cent settlement rails for everyone on Solana.
