Cost. Settlement speed. Throughput.

Three reasons straight from Ben Reynolds, Head of Big Business Banking at @SoFi.

@solana is the payments chain.

[Solana @solana]

Ben Reynolds, Head of Big Business Banking on why @SoFi picked Solana.

“Solana is the right chain to use for payments because of the cost, the settlement speed and ultimately the throughput”

Always-on. 24/7. 3.7B cards. 210+ countries.

The future of finance runs on Solana.

[Solana @solana]

The hardest play in tech is to be the best place for everything.

@solana is making it.

Stablecoins. RWAs. Perps. Payments. DePIN. AI agents. All compounding on Solana.

[SolanaFloor @SolanaFloor]

📽️ Should @solana give up on perps and focus on winning in one vertical?

Polygon Labs CEO said "Solana's biggest problem is trying to do too much."

@vibhu argues ''It's very hard to be the best place for everything. And that's why it worth trying."

Here's why Solana "can have it all" 👇

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

$79.9 billion in stablecoin transaction volume on @solana in a single week.

Billions moving every day. 30+ stablecoins.

Solana is the stablecoin chain.

[Zensei @zensei]

stablecoin activity on solana continues operating at a scale most networks can only dream of.

last week alone, solana processed $79.9B in stablecoin transaction volume, with billions of dollars moving across the network every single day.

when people choose to move money on-chain, the numbers keep showing they choose solana.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

$716M in net inflows.

Net flows show where capital is moving now, and the direction is clear.

[SolanaFloor @SolanaFloor]

📈BREAKING: In May, @Solana recorded $716M in RWA net inflows, the highest among all blockchains.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

DEX volume by chain.

Solana, every other chain combined, in that order.

Build on Solana.

[Zensei @zensei]

dex volume by chain tells the story of solana better than words ever could.

from barely appearing on the leaderboard in the early days to becoming the chain everyone else is trying to catch up with

solana shows how it's done.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

$2.6B in distributed RWAs on @solana. +24.5% in 30 days.

This is what onchain capital formation looks like.

Solana is the RWA chain.

[Solana Sensei @SolanaSensei]

Solana isn't just building a chain. It's building the stack.

Hardware. App store. Operating system. All vertically integrated.

@toly's frame: extending composability down to the OS - something no other crypto network has done.

Build on @solana.

[Foundation Capital @FoundationCap]

.@Solana is cementing its next phase of blockchain distribution by investing in verticalization and challenging traditional mobile players. With a decentralized app store and hardware designed to run on the Solana network, it’s positioned to reach users in ways that no other crypto network has before.

FC partner @alemartcard interviewed @toly, co-founder and CEO of @Solana, at Accelerate 2026 a couple of weeks ago. Watch our full interview here to learn more about his journey as a founder, what went into building Solana, and what's next for the platform: https://t.co/wBrSZVQroH

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

Enterprises pick @solana for three reasons:
→ Speed, cost, scalability (the infrastructure)
→ Resilience under real load (battle-tested)
→ Composability, no fragmentation (one chain, one standard)

Solana is the institutional chain.

[Solana @solana]

"Enterprise players want to come into a battle-tested network. What four years ago was our Achilles' heel has now become our strength."

@SherazShere, Head of Payments at @SolanaFndn, on why enterprises are picking Solana.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

Solana's RWA market is at a new ATH. ONyc sits among the top assets.

$FWDI co-led @onrefinance's Series A and is deploying up to $25M into ONyc.

We're not watching the RWA market grow on @solana. We're building in it.

[Zensei @zensei]

RWA growth on solana continues reaching new highs.

this data from token terminal shows RWA asset market cap climbing to a new ATH of $1.649B.

what makes the growth even more impressive is that it isn’t being carried by just one asset, demand across the entire RWA sector on solana keeps rising together.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

xStocks volume on @solana: $286M in April -> $418M in May, and climbing.

The demand to move traditional equities onchain is here.

And it's choosing Solana.

[Zensei @zensei]

xStocks DEX volume on solana is on pace for another record-breaking month.

shortly after reaching $285.96M in April, May has already climbed to $418.57M, a jump of over 46% and the month still isn’t over.

the demand from traditional finance to move on-chain is clearly there

solana is already capturing most of that value and it'll remain so.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

Stablecoin supply is one thing. Stablecoin usage is another.

Solana's stablecoin fees just surged 119% in 6 weeks - to $241K weekly.

These aren't dollars sitting still. They're dollars moving.

Solana is the stablecoin chain.

[Zensei @zensei]

check out this data from artemis, stablecoin fees have surged 119% over the last 6 weeks.

now at $241K, the growth continues showing just how quickly stablecoin activity is accelerating on Solana.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

Solana apps have now generated $4 billion in cumulative revenue.

$1.17B of that in the last 12 months alone.

This is a real, compounding onchain economy.

@solana is the chain with the most economic activity.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

DEX volume measures where capital actually trades.

This month: $36.87B on Solana. $31.59B on Ethereum.

@solana has flipped Ethereum.

[Zensei @zensei]

solana has officially flipped ethereum in month-to-date DEX volume, leading by over $5.27B.

solana currently sits at $36.87B in MTD volume compared to ethereum’s $31.59B

The dominance doesn't stop

despite being valued far lower, solana keeps outperforming where it matters most: usage, volume, speed, and efficiency.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

This is what an open ecosystem produces:

@streamflow_fi (vesting infrastructure) + @UmbraPrivacy (privacy primitives) = private token distributions on @solana.

No permission or coordination overhead. Just composability.

Build on Solana.

[SolanaFloor @SolanaFloor]

New: @UmbraPrivacy has partnered with @streamflow_fi to bring private token vesting to Solana, allowing projects to distribute tokens confidentially to investors, contributors, and communities through Umbra wallets.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

Tether issued a US stablecoin on Solana.
A Korean partner issued KRWQ on Solana.
An Asian partner is bringing KZTE to Solana.

The first stablecoin issued by a U.S. nationally chartered bank.

[Forward Ind. | NASDAQ-$FWDI @FWDind]

The biggest winners are built on Solana.

[Zensei @zensei]

solana DEX platform meteora has now ranked #1 in spot DEX volume for 6 straight weeks, outperforming every other DEX across all chains.

with nearly $20B+ in weekly volume consistently flowing through the platform

the biggest winners in crypto are always from Solana for a reason
