BlackRock spustil tokenizovaný fond peněžního trhu pro rezervy stablecoinů na Solaně, Ethereu a Tempu. Fond drží jen hotovost, krátkodobé americké státní dluhopisy a repo obchody.
In brief BlackRock launched a tokenized money market fund for stablecoin reserve management. The fund records ownership on Solana, Ethereum, and Tempo while investing entirely in cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries. The product targets institutional investors as tokenized Treasury funds continue to grow. BlackRock is expanding onto Solana with a new money market fund designed for stablecoin reserves, adding the blockchain to its list of tokenized investment products.
The world's largest asset manager on Monday launched the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle (BRSRV) alongside tokenized on-chain shares of its existing BlackRock Select Treasury-Based Liquidity Fund (BSTBL).
"Cash remains a foundational building block for investors, corporations, and financial institutions," Jon Steel, Global Head of Product and Platform for BlackRock's Cash Management business, said in a statement. “As demand grows for high-quality reserve assets to support stablecoins and other tokenized financial products, these funds provide clients with additional choice in how they access and use money market fund investment solutions across traditional and digital markets.”
In a prospectus filed with the SEC on Friday, BlackRock said ownership is recorded on Solana, Ethereum, and Tempo, with investors holding shares through approved wallets managed by transfer agent Securitize.
“The Fund issues OnChain Shares through a permissioned system that operates in connection with one or more public, permissionless blockchains, which, as of the date of this Prospectus, include Ethereum, Tempo, and Solana, and may include other supported networks in the future,” BlackRock wrote.
The fund invests entirely in cash, short-term U.S. Treasury securities, and overnight repurchase agreements backed by Treasuries.
According to BlackRock, the fund does not invest in cryptocurrencies.
“The Fund will continue to invest in accordance with the requirements in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and the terms of this Prospectus,” BlackRock wrote. “The Fund will not invest in any digital assets, including any virtual currencies.”
Wallets must be whitelisted and tied to verified identities, allowing the transfer agent to restrict transfers or, in some cases, freeze, revoke, or reissue tokenized shares. The fund also has a $3 million minimum initial investment.
BlackRock said the fund is structured to qualify as an eligible reserve asset under the GENIUS Act, the U.S. law governing payment stablecoins. Its prospectus also notes that future regulatory changes could affect whether stablecoin issuers can continue using the fund as a reserve asset, while blockchain outages or smart contract flaws could disrupt transactions.
The launch builds on BlackRock's broader tokenization strategy. The firm introduced the BUIDL tokenized money market fund in March 2024, which now manages more than $2.6 billion in assets.
BlackRock joins Morgan Stanley, and Fidelity, which have also introduced products aimed at stablecoin reserve management following the passage of the GENIUS Act.

Robinhood Chain se stal lídrem v počtu držitelů RWA s 365 212 unikátními adresami a předstihl Solanu i BNB Chain. Síť přitom spustila veřejný mainnet teprve 1. července 2026.
Robinhood Chain Takes the Lead in RWA Holders@RobinhoodCrypto has claimed the top spot in real-world asset (RWA) holder count, surpassing established Layer 1 networks with 365,212 unique addresses according to data from @Rwa_xyz. The milestone is especially striking given that the network only launched its public mainnet on July 1, 2026.
The chain sits ahead of @Solana (323,832 holders) and @BNBChain (299,884 holders) in the race to bring tokenized assets to a broad retail base. @plumenetwork, which has built RWA-native infrastructure from the ground up, follows with 249,276 holders, placing it ahead of @Ethereum at 221,314.
The speed of Robinhood's rise is explained in large part by its existing customer base. Unlike many blockchain projects that first focus on crypto-native users, Robinhood entered the space with millions of existing brokerage customers, and that distribution is translating into rapid adoption of real-world assets. The company can promote blockchain-based financial products directly to approximately 28 million funded brokerage accounts.
Context: Holder Count vs. Asset ValueThe holder count lead does not tell the full story. Ethereum's RWA value sits between $17 billion and $18 billion, while Solana's RWA market exceeds $3.3 billion. Robinhood's distributed asset value of $24.12 million is roughly 0.1% of what Ethereum's RWA ecosystem is worth. In other words, Robinhood Chain leads on breadth of participation, not depth of capital.
Activity on the chain has also been mixed in its early weeks. Tokenized assets are not yet the chain's dominant activity driver, with meme coin trading currently accounting for the majority of decentralized exchange volume, even though tokenized stocks are viewed as the network's long-term differentiator. More recently, however, momentum has shifted. The value of tokenized equities and related holdings has climbed rapidly, with the market capitalization of RWAs on the network growing approximately fivefold over a two-week span and exceeding the $70 million threshold.
Robinhood Stock Tokens are accessible in over 120 countries and issued as debt securities by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited. The chain runs on the Arbitrum Orbit stack with 100-millisecond block times, integrations with Chainlink oracles for price feeds, and support for the Paxos-issued USDG stablecoin.
The broader RWA sector is expanding quickly as well. The number of RWA holders across all chains has grown to 1.09 million, up from around 375,000 a year ago. Whether Robinhood Chain can convert its holder lead into deeper balances and sustained transfer activity remains the key question for the months ahead.

Solana tento týden hlasuje o dvou návrzích na úpravu tokenomiky $SOL: SIMD-0550 má urychlit deflační proces a SIMD-0553 zavést spalování podle spotřeby nákladových jednotek.
For years, $SOL holders have expressed concerns and frustrations over the network’s issuance rate.
At the current inflation rate of 3.715%, over ~23.4M $SOL (worth ~$1.56B), will be distributed among stakers over the next year, a figure ecosystem leaders argue is counter-productive to the needs of the network.
Fortunately for disgruntled $SOL holders, the network is set to vote on not one, but two critical governance proposals this week designed to resolve Solana’s tokenomics: SIMD-0550, and SIMD-0553.
Voting for SIMD-0550 and SIMD-0553 to Open This Week Nine months after Helius engineer _lostin_ first floated SIMD-0411, $SOL holders are finally able to actionably express their view on $SOL tokenomics. Alongside votes for the recently renamed disinflation proposal, SIMD-0550, $SOL stakers will also be able to vote on SIMD-0553, which aims to introduce a resource-based token burn mechanic.
Early votes are expected to go live today, on August 3rd. Consistent with Solana’s governance mechanics, proposals that receive support from at least 15% of stake are progressed to a final vote, where they are ultimately approved or rejected by the wider Solana ecosystem.
Unlike previous issuance-based proposals, like the infamously polarizing SIMD-0228, both SIMD-0550 and SIMD-0553 are expected to pass with flying colors. Both proposals have been met with resounding public support from all corners of the ecosystem, with the vast majority of network participants eager to see productive changes in $SOL tokenomics.
What can $SOL holders expect from each proposal?
SIMD-0550: Reduce Inflation Authored by Helius engineer _lostin_, SIMD-0550 is the formal successor to SIMD-0411, a proposal originally drafted in November 2025, and the spiritual successor to SIMD-0228. Where SIMD-0228 was divisive due to its complexity, SIMD-0550 is simple, both from a public understanding and a technical implementation.
SIMD-0550 promises to double Solana’s disinflation rate from 15% per year to 30% per year, effectively halving the time it will take for the network to reach its terminal inflation rate of 1.5%.
According to Helius’ 0xIcihgo, SIMD-0550 implementation reduces the time to terminal inflation by ~3 years, saving an estimated $1.5B in $SOL emissions. Reception to the proposal has been overwhelmingly positive, earning the seal of approval of Solana Labs founder Anatoly Yakovenko.
If approved, SIMD-0550 is expected to have a positive impact on $SOL price action. Advocates argue that reduced emissions will lead to reduced sell pressure from validator operators, who often need to liquidate rewards to meet operational costs.
SIMD-0553: Increase $SOL Burn Where SIMD-0550 is a simple rate-change designed to bring down inflation, SIMD-0553 is a more complex and ambitious proposal. Initially proposed as SIMD-0547, the document was renumbered at formalization, and is now referred to as SIMD-0553.
Authored by Temporal cavemanloverboy, the same engineer who single-handedly orchestrated a 100k-TPS spike of activity on the Solana Mainnet, SIMD-0553 seeks to introduce a resource-base fee burn. If approved, SIMD-0553 would programmatically remove $SOL tokens from circulation based on how much compute they consume.
Currently, Solana transaction costs are calculated based on several variables, including CU (compute unit) consumption, data load, and write locks. Under SIMD-0550, the network would add a base fee to every transaction, which scales based on its complexity.
Specifically, SIMD-0553 recommends charging and burning 0.1 lamport (one-billionth a $SOL) per cost unit requested. Effectively, the more complex the transaction, the higher the burn rate.
Critically, cavemanloverboy has asserted that SIMD-0553 will have a limited impact on non compute-intensive transactions, like market maker updates and validator voting costs, ensuring Solana maintains its competitive advantage for HFT.
Early estimates from various sources suggest that SIMD-0553 could increase Solana’s burn rate from anywhere between 2592-21,600 $SOL per day.
While implementing a resource-based burn mechanism is encouraged for $SOL scarcity and value accrual, the token is still far from net-deflationary. Blockworks data suggests that, currently, around 62k $SOL enters circulation via issuance everyday.
However, it’s important to note that this data is drawn from Solana’s existing network activity. At a fundamental level, upcoming technical improvements like Alpenglow, Agave 4.2, and a recent raise on the network’s block limit all facilitate greater scalability and onchain app diversity, which may accelerate resource-based burn rates in the future.

Are Solana’s Prediction Markets About to Break Out?
Solana v červenci dosáhla sedmiměsíčního maxima aktivity, když na síti bylo aktivních asi 609 000 unikátních peněženek. Bitwise zároveň přes BSOL drží SOL za 891,9 milionu USD.
Solana is experiencing a marked surge in network adoption, as recent data shows a significant rise in wallet activity and robust institutional inflows. The blockchain platform, known for its high throughput and fast transaction times, continues to capture investor attention as both retail and institutional participation strengthen across its ecosystem.
Network activity and wallet growthAccording to data analytics platform SolanaFloor, July saw the number of active trading wallets on the Solana network reach a seven-month peak. Approximately 609,000 unique wallets engaged in trades, indicating renewed participation from both individual and institutional users. This upswing reflects growing confidence in the expansion of Solana-based decentralized applications and broader blockchain services.
The increase in active wallets is widely interpreted as a sign of deepening on-chain engagement, with users interacting across decentralized exchanges, DeFi platforms, and different token markets built on Solana. Sector analysts view rising wallet numbers as an encouraging sign for network adoption and liquidity, which could reinforce Solana’s long-term growth trajectory if the trend endures.
Over 609,000 unique wallets conducted trades in July, marking the highest level of activity on Solana in the past seven months and signaling renewed interest from both retail and institutional participants.
If this pattern persists, observers suggest that confidence in Solana’s ecosystem and its decentralized projects may continue to strengthen, supporting future development and broader adoption.
Institutional demand intensifies with Bitwise ETF inflowsInstitutional demand continues to play a critical role in Solana’s upward trajectory. According to figures compiled by analytics firm Arkham, asset manager Bitwise has now acquired $891.9 million worth of SOL through its BSOL exchange-traded fund, positioning it as the largest Solana-based ETF by assets.
This fund now accounts for nearly 80% of total Solana ETF inflows, underlining significant institutional demand as investors pursue regulated access to Solana’s blockchain network.
Through these sustained inflows, Bitwise has become one of the top holders of SOL, driving speculation that further acquisitions may occur if investor interest remains strong.
As exchange-traded funds must purchase the actual cryptocurrency when issuing shares, any additional investment in BSOL is expected to result in further accumulation of SOL for the fund.

Noted crypto analyst BitGuru emphasized that SOL has now entered a crucial support zone, garnering increased attention from traders and market participants.
Buyers are starting to defend this level, which analysts suggest could signal the potential for renewed bullish momentum if the support holds. Historically, similar activity around key support regions has preceded upward moves in SOL’s price.
Market participants highlight that confirmation of a rebound from current support is essential for sustaining any potential uptrend in SOL, as trading activity intensifies around the $73 price level.
Technical analysts report that if trading volumes continue to recover, SOL could move toward resistance near $78. However, a breakdown of the current support zone may increase selling momentum and potentially push prices lower.

Solana spustila na mainnetu upgrade SIMD-0286, který zvýšil limit z 60 milionů na 100 milionů compute units na blok a zlepšil propustnost o 66 %. Analytici zároveň sledují býčí technickou strukturu a mluví o cílech až 1 000 USD.
Solana (SOL) is gaining renewed momentum as market analysts point to a strong technical formation and the network rolls out a major upgrade designed to boost scalability and efficiency. The convergence of positive price signals and upgraded infrastructure could reinforce Solana’s position as one of the market’s leading blockchains and attract new participants to its ecosystem.
Analysts point to bullish technical structureAt $72.88, Solana’s price reflects relatively stable trading over the past day, backed by a 24-hour trading volume of $1.32 billion and a total market capitalization of $42.35 billion. Many technical analysts are focusing on a breakout-and-retest pattern in SOL that has historically preceded major rallies.
Crypto Patel, a well-followed cryptocurrency analyst, identified a macro structure in Solana’s price chart that he believes resembles setups seen in 2021 and 2023—both of which were followed by price surges of approximately 2,500% and 3,600% respectively. While previous moves do not guarantee a repeat, these recurring formations are drawing increased interest from traders.
A group of market analysts emphasize the $40 to $70 range as a critical accumulation zone for SOL. As long as support holds above this level, price targets of $300, $500, $700, and even $1,000 are being circulated within the trader community. However, should SOL close below $25 on lower timeframes, a bearish reversal is likely to be triggered.
LevelPotential Trend$25 (closed below)Bearish scenario$40–$70Accumulation/support zone$300, $500, $700, $1,000Upside targets Crypto Patel notes that historical macro breakout patterns in Solana have preceded significant rallies, with previous instances in 2021 and 2023 leading to multi-thousand percent gains.
Major mainnet upgrade enhances network scalabilityThe Solana Foundation has announced the successful deployment of 100 million compute unit (CU) blocks on its mainnet, increasing the network’s maximum capacity from 60 million to 100 million compute units per block. This technical upgrade, implemented through the SIMD-0286 proposal, improves the blockchain’s throughput by 66%.
Developers and decentralized applications (DApps) operating within the Solana ecosystem are expected to benefit from this greater computational capacity and improved efficiency. The foundation stated that these changes are designed to support higher network demand and optimize resource allocation for developers.
By enhancing performance and scaling capacity, the upgrade is intended to position Solana for broader adoption and further development of its ecosystem.
Mini dictionary: SIMD-0286, also known as “Solana Improvement Document 0286,” is a technical proposal that increases the block size of Solana by raising the allowed compute units per block, thereby enhancing overall network throughput and efficiency.
The Solana Foundation highlights that the 100 million compute unit upgrade raises mainnet block limits by 66%, promising faster and more scalable operations on the blockchain.
Outlook and market sentimentThe path ahead for SOL will depend on price movement at key support levels and whether the current bullish technical setup is confirmed by further market activity. Improved network performance could fuel growing participation in the Solana ecosystem, potentially reviving demand for SOL among traders and developers.
However, Solana’s future remains influenced by overall crypto market volatility and investor sentiment. Analysts caution that while substantial upside may be possible, there are risks if critical support is lost. Market observers continue to monitor SOL for confirmation of a decisive move in either direction.

Anza představila Quantumglow, kryptografický návrh pro Solanu s odolností vůči kvantovým útokům. Upgrade má zachovat rychlost sítě i podporu postkvantových podpisů.
Anza, a developer-focused company advancing the Solana blockchain platform, has announced a new cryptographic proposal named Quantumglow. The initiative aims to enhance Solana’s security by making its network resilient against potential quantum computing threats, while maintaining its signature speed and execution capacity.
Introducing Quantumglow for post-quantum securityQuantumglow will provide an upgrade to Solana’s current Alpenglow protocol, which forms the consensus and execution layer of the Solana blockchain. Anza stated that this adaptation will allow Solana to support post-quantum signature schemes without compromising the efficiency of reaching consensus on the network.
The developers at Anza have emphasized that this move is a proactive response to growing concerns about future cyber-attacks that could potentially exploit cryptographic vulnerabilities, particularly those stemming from ECDSA and Ed25519 keys, with the advent of quantum computers.
Quantumglow has been created to introduce quantum-resistant cryptography to Solana’s network, ensuring that post-quantum signature schemes can be adopted while preserving Solana’s speed and performance.
The project remains in the research phase, with no specific release date announced. Anza aims to ensure that Solana stays ahead of potential regulatory changes affecting cryptographic standards, reflecting a broader trend in the blockchain industry toward enhancing resilience ahead of attempted standardization.
Mini dictionary: Alpenglow, Solana’s consensus and execution layer, enables the decentralized network to process and validate transactions rapidly, underpinning Solana’s reputation for high throughput.
Impact on validators, developers, and the broader ecosystemQuantumglow’s deployment is expected to require extensive adaptation from various participants in the Solana ecosystem. This includes validators, developers, institutions, and exchanges operating on Solana’s blockchain. Validators, responsible for operating the network’s infrastructure, will likely play a key role in implementing the new verification processes introduced by the quantum-resistant protocol.
Supporters claim that integrating quantum-resistant signatures could significantly reduce long-term security risks for Solana. Financial regulators tracking digital asset security may also view this move as evidence that Solana prioritizes network safety in anticipation of future regulatory demands.
Quantumglow reflects an industry-wide push for higher blockchain security as quantum computing capabilities advance, keeping performance intact without delay for post-quantum cryptography.
While some other blockchain protocols have begun exploring quantum-resistant cryptography, Anza’s proposal distinguishes itself by maintaining Solana’s established high-performance standards. As the crypto sector anticipates future advances in quantum computing, Solana and its developer partners aim to set a precedent for robust and scalable security measures.
Further details regarding the rollout and technical specifications of Quantumglow are expected as research and development progress continues within Anza’s teams.

Solana Mobile vyčlenila 27 milionů SKR tokenů pro druhé kolo kampaně Seeker Summer. V prvním kole bylo po stakování uzamčeno přes 50 % rozdělených SKR tokenů.
Solana Mobile is doubling down on its hardware-meets-crypto playbook. The company has earmarked 27 million SKR tokens for the second round of its Seeker Summer campaign, a meaningful bump from the 25 million tokens distributed in Round 1.
Claims for the Round 2 allocation opened on July 30, 2026, at 4 PM UTC. The broader Seeker Summer campaign stretches from July 7 through August 30, and we’re now firmly in the middle innings of what Solana Mobile is framing as a summer-long engagement marathon.
How the campaign actually works Seeker Summer is structured into four two-week rounds, each packed with daily app drops, quests, and badges available through the Solana dApp Store.
Advertisement
The quest format keeps things specific. Round 2 features integrations with apps like Moonwalk Fitness, which requires participants to deposit 100 MF tokens by July 28 to unlock badges and additional rewards.
Over 50% of the SKR rewards distributed during Round 1 were staked shortly after they became available. When more than half of recipients choose to lock up tokens rather than sell them, it suggests participants see longer-term value in holding, or at minimum, that the staking incentives are compelling enough to delay gratification.
The bigger picture for Solana’s mobile strategy The Seeker Summer campaign is essentially Solana Mobile’s answer to a fundamental hardware problem: how do you keep people using a crypto-native phone after the initial novelty wears off? The strategy is straightforward. Flood the device with app integrations, reward users for actually engaging with those apps, and create enough ongoing activity that the dApp Store becomes a daily habit rather than a one-time curiosity.
SKR serves as the primary incentive mechanism within the campaign, with a capped supply of 10 billion tokens and functions including staking to Guardians and app selection in the dApp Store. Rather than distributing a grab bag of different partner tokens, Solana Mobile is using a single asset to unify the reward structure.
By routing quests through third-party applications like Moonwalk Fitness, Solana Mobile is effectively acting as a user acquisition funnel for Solana-native projects. The apps get exposure and active users, Solana Mobile gets engagement metrics, and participants get token rewards.
What this means for investors The staking behavior from Round 1 is the most interesting data point for anyone watching SKR as an investable asset. When users voluntarily lock up over half of a token distribution, it creates natural supply constraints. If that pattern repeats across Rounds 2 through 4, the effective circulating supply of SKR could remain significantly below the total distributed amount.
The escalating token allocations also deserve scrutiny. Moving from 25 million to 27 million tokens per round sounds modest, but across four rounds, the total distribution adds up. Investors should pay attention to whether the increased supply is being absorbed by genuine demand or simply diluting existing holders.

Bitwise přejmenoval validátory v aplikaci Ledger Wallet z Chorus One na Bitwise napříč Solanou, Cosmos a Injective. Na stakování se nic nemění, mění se jen název v aplikaci.
If you’ve been staking SOL, ATOM, or INJ through Ledger and noticed a name change on your validator, you’re not losing it. Bitwise has officially swapped the Chorus One branding on its Ledger Wallet validator nodes to “Bitwise” across Solana, Cosmos, and Injective.
The cosmetic surgery was expected. Bitwise acquired Chorus One back in February 2026, bringing along more than $2.2 billion in staked assets. The rebrand is the final step in making that marriage official across user-facing platforms.
Same infrastructure, new name tag Here’s the thing: nothing about the actual staking experience changes. Same validator infrastructure. Same fees. Same rewards mechanics. The only difference is the label you see in the Ledger Wallet app, which now reads “Bitwise” or “Ledger by Bitwise” depending on the chain.

Chorus One was one of the more respected institutional staking operators in the business, running validator nodes across more than 30 proof-of-stake networks. Bitwise didn’t acquire it to gut the operation. It acquired it to wear the jersey.
The rebrand also serves a branding consolidation purpose. Bitwise has been steadily building out what it calls Bitwise Onchain Solutions, or BOS, its division focused on staking infrastructure for institutional and self-custody users.
Why Bitwise is going all-in on staking Bitwise now manages over $15 billion in client assets across its entire operation. The Chorus One acquisition wasn’t just about adding validator nodes. It was about positioning the firm as a one-stop shop for institutions that want exposure to proof-of-stake yields without building their own infrastructure.
By absorbing Chorus One’s operations across 30-plus networks, Bitwise instantly became one of the largest institutional staking providers in the space. The $2.2 billion in staked assets it inherited isn’t pocket change.
The emphasis on Ledger integration is also telling. Bitwise has been vocal about offering “institutional-grade infrastructure tailored for self-custody users,” specifically highlighting competitive staking yields for Solana through Ledger.

Rarible po hlasování komunity rozšiřuje plnou infrastrukturu na Solanu; vývoj, integrace a bezpečnostní audity už běží. Plné spuštění má přijít do čtyř týdnů.
Community Vote Triggers Solana Expansion@Rarible, the multichain onchain commerce platform, is moving to deploy its full architecture on the @Solana blockchain after a decisive community mandate. The platform confirmed the decision publicly, stating: "We're kicking off the work to bring Rarible to Solana. Development, integrations, and security audits start now."
According to the announcement, technical integration and comprehensive security audits are currently underway, with a full rollout targeted within four weeks. The move marks a significant step for Rarible, which has steadily expanded its chain support over recent years and positions Solana as a priority destination for its next phase of growth.
A Multichain Platform Adding a High-Volume ChainRarible describes itself as the onchain commerce platform powering the future of digital asset trading, offering fast, multichain infrastructure that has been battle-tested over five years. The platform allows users to create, buy, and sell NFTs, while letting the community govern it through the $RARI token.
In 2026, Rarible operates as both a multichain marketplace and an aggregator layer, making chain choice a normal part of the NFT shopping experience rather than a separate workflow. Supported mainnet chains already include Ethereum, Base, HyperEVM, LightLink, Somnia, RARI Chain, Camp Network, and Arena-Z. Solana would be a notable addition given its scale in digital asset activity.
Rarible began supporting Solana NFTs in 2022, enabling users to buy and sell Solana tokens on its marketplace, but the forthcoming deployment marks a shift from passive chain support toward an active product built on Solana's consumer application layer. Most recently, Rarible launched Gacha Station on Solana, powered by Collector Crypt.
The four-week timeline is contingent on the outcome of ongoing security reviews. No further financial terms or partnership details have been disclosed at this stage.

Seoul, South Korea, July 30th, 2026, Chainwire
Flowra, the open orderflow auction and validator infrastructure platform for Solana, today announced a collaboration with compliance infrastructure provider Honeypot to integrate sanctions and risk screening directly into the block-building process.
The collaboration combines Honeypot's compliance intelligence with Flowra's Programmable Block Policy (PBP), enabling institutional validators to define compliance rules governing which transactions and bundles can be included during block construction.
The integration is designed to support screening against sanctions-related criteria, including wallet addresses associated with sanctioned entities, as well as network-level indicators such as VPNs, proxy services and Tor exit nodes, methods that account for an estimated 31-61% of traffic arriving through network obfuscation. The framework is also being designed to support additional enterprise compliance providers over time.
Each validator will define its own policy, preserving validator autonomy while giving operators greater flexibility over block-building decisions.
"Public blockchains have become increasingly attractive to institutional participants, but the infrastructure hasn't evolved to give validators the compliance controls many regulated operators expect," said Harry Hwang, CEO of Flowra. "We're working with Honeypot to bring compliance into the block-building process itself, allowing validators to define and enforce their own policies before transactions are included on-chain. The goal isn't to make the network less open, it's to give individual validators the flexibility to operate in a way that reflects their own requirements."
The collaboration will initially focus on sanctions screening, wallet screening and auditability for regulated institutions, with additional technical details to be shared as implementation progresses.

KSNET podepsal se Solana Foundation memorandum o integraci Solana Pay do sítě více než 330 000 jihokorejských obchodníků. Zaměřuje se také na online a offline platby.
A South Korean payment processor that handles roughly $4 billion in monthly transaction volume just signed on to bring Solana Pay to its network of over 330,000 merchants. KSNET and the Solana Foundation inked a memorandum of understanding on July 30, setting the stage for one of the largest real-world crypto payment integrations in Asia.
KSNET processes approximately 130 million transactions every month and has been in the payments business for 26 years.

What the deal actually covers The MOU outlines plans to integrate Solana Pay into both online and offline payment experiences across KSNET’s merchant network. The two organizations also plan to develop a proof-of-concept for an AI-based payment model using technology called “x402.”
KSNET’s crypto track record and Solana’s Korean ambitions In May 2025, KSNET partnered with Crypto.com to support digital asset payments for travelers across various retail categories in Korea. The Solana partnership appears broader in scope, targeting the domestic consumer market as well.
In June 2022, the Solana Foundation launched a dedicated $100 million fund aimed at fostering web3 startups in South Korea.
South Korea’s regulatory environment has also been evolving. The country implemented its Virtual Asset User Protection Act, signaling that regulators are trying to create guardrails rather than outright bans.
What this means for investors Solana’s advantage is speed and cost, with transaction fees that are fractions of a cent and settlement times measured in seconds.

Morgan Stanley spustila nové ETP se stakovaným Ethereum a Solanou, přičemž podkladovou infrastrukturu dodává Coinbase. Jde o první takové řešení mezi velkými správci aktiv napojenými na americkou banku.
Morgan Stanley has expanded its offerings in the cryptocurrency space by launching new Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) that include staked Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). Coinbase is reportedly providing the underlying technology for these products, as confirmed by Brian Armstrong, Coinbase’s CEO, on social media. The launch of these ETPs marks a significant step for Morgan Stanley, integrating staking from the outset, a first among major U.S. bank-affiliated asset managers. This development comes as part of Morgan Stanley’s broader strategy to incorporate digital assets into its investment services, following the introduction of E*TRADE spot trading for bitcoin, ether, and solana earlier this month.

Key Takeaways The introduction of Morgan Stanley’s crypto ETPs appears to suggest increased mainstream institutional adoption of digital assets, particularly Ethereum and Solana. Market participants may interpret Morgan Stanley’s integration of staking in its ETPs as supportive of Ethereum’s price growth, consistent with a more optimistic outlook for ETH reaching significant price thresholds. Current market pricing indicates a modest increase in confidence towards Ethereum hitting higher price targets by the end of 2026, reflecting the strategic moves by major financial institutions. What to Watch Observers will be keenly watching if this announcement by Morgan Stanley will lead to increased inflow in Ethereum-focused investment products, potentially influencing market odds. Future regulatory developments, including possible SEC actions on crypto ETFs, could also impact market sentiment. The performance and adoption of these new financial products in the coming months may provide further insights into the evolving landscape of institutional cryptocurrency investment.

Arqitech dokončil první atomic swapy podle Canton Token Standard V2 na Canton MainNetu, které umožňují institucím směňovat Canton Coin přímo za Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana a TRON bez bridge a prostředníků.
Arqitech has completed the first Canton Token Standard V2 atomic swaps on the @CantonNetwork MainNet, marking a significant step in bridgeless cross-chain settlement for institutions. The transactions allow institutions to exchange Canton Coin (CC) directly on-chain for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and TRON assets in a secure, all-or-nothing manner, without handing control of assets to any middleman and without using bridges or wrapped tokens.
What the V2 Standard Changes Arqitech collaborated with Digital Asset on the Canton Token Standard CIP-0112, now known as V2, which was approved by the Canton Foundation (@CantonFdn) in June 2026. The standard introduces committed allocations, an irrevocable lock until a defined settlement deadline, giving the Canton leg of a cross-chain HTLC the same timelock guarantees institutions expect from native chain settlement. The standard now underpins advanced institutional uses such as trustless atomic swaps and regulated real-world asset settlement.
Arqitech's Atomic Swap Protocol is built so that every participant signs their own transactions, whether through enterprise key-management systems or their own private nodes. Validator nodes only prepare and submit instructions that have already been signed, keeping full custody with participants at every step.
Institutional Counterparties Already Active Earlier live swaps on Canton MainNet took place between Arqitech, MPCH, Pixelplex, and sFOX, with each institution exchanging Canton Coin for USDC. Every party retained full control of its private keys within its own wallet, demonstrating that regulated institutions can complete secure, atomic cross-chain transactions while maintaining custody of their assets.
Arqitech's deployment is live on Canton MainNet, and the atomic swap capability is set to open to customers in the coming weeks. Brian Wasserman, CEO of Arqitech, said: "Our Atomic Swap Protocol delivers native on-chain swap interoperability, liquidity and settlement rails, while meeting the same custody, audit, and risk standards institutions require."
The development adds to a broader build-out on Canton. Arqitech provides banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and prime brokers with direct API access to trustless swaps, DEX aggregation across 32-plus chains and 20-plus DEXs, privacy-enabled settlement on Canton Network, and regulated real-world asset pathways, all while clients retain custody.

MoonPay spustil PayBox pro Solanu, který umožňuje nákup, převody i platby v ChatGPT a Claude pomocí přirozeného jazyka. AI agenti tak mohou na Solaně podepisovat transakce za uživatele v non-custodial prostředí.
MoonPay has unveiled PayBox for Solana, a non-custodial payment vault and wallet designed to simplify the purchase and transfer of tokens directly via AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude. The launch, announced on July 29, introduces a natural-language interface for interacting with Solana, allowing transactions to be executed by AI agents on behalf of users.
PayBox connects users of ChatGPT and Claude with Solana’s fast blockchain infrastructure and MoonPay’s payment technology, eliminating the need for traditional dashboards or browser extensions. By granting permission, users allow AI bots to access the PayBox wallet, streamlining key management and transaction signing for a more seamless experience.
AI agents simplify blockchain interactionInstead of navigating complex interfaces, users can now instruct Claude or ChatGPT to swap tokens, make payments, or engage with decentralized applications (DApps) built on Solana. These requests are carried out directly by the AI, which handles the secure signing of transactions in a non-custodial environment.
Solana’s appeal continues to grow among consumers and fintech firms due to its combination of minimal fees and rapid transaction settlements. The integration of AI-powered trading solutions with Solana offers broader accessibility for both new and existing users, further driving adoption of the network.
Users of ChatGPT and Claude can trade assets, make payments, or interact with any Solana-based application by simply issuing conversational commands, expanding accessibility well beyond the crypto-native audience.
For those seeking a comprehensive way to monitor blockchain activity, platforms like CryptoAppsy offer real-time pricing, detailed charts, and portfolio management across multiple currencies on one screen. By establishing smart price alerts and filtering news targeted to specific coins, users can keep up with market movements and instantly respond to emerging opportunities. Additionally, CryptoAppsy provides critical macroeconomic indicators such as Federal Reserve interest rates, helping traders stay informed and competitive.
Implications for developers, institutions, and regulatorsThe integration opens up new distribution channels for developers, enabling their DApps and token utilities to be discovered and used directly within popular AI chatbots. This could lower the barrier for mainstream users entering decentralized finance and NFT markets, further broadening Solana’s reach in 2026.
Financial institutions may view voice-activated and AI-driven wallets as an accessible entry point into regulated, auditable digital asset transactions. The direct interaction between AI platforms and on-chain activity enables more compliant and transparent operations, aligning with rising industry standards.
As AI-driven interfaces facilitate transactions, regulators are expected to increase their scrutiny of custody arrangements, user consent protocols, and anti-money laundering procedures for payments authorized by algorithms.
Exchanges and wallet providers will likely need to adapt to a landscape where AI agents serve as the primary user interface, mediating access to their services without direct front-end control. This shift could reshape expectations for compliance and user onboarding in crypto ecosystems.
Recent acquisitions by MoonPay, such as the purchase of Solana trading platform DFlow in a $100 million stock deal, further demonstrate the company’s commitment to expanding its AI-focused finance strategy. These moves signal ongoing innovation in how users interact with blockchain technology and digital assets.

Figure a Hastra spustily AUTO na Solaně, kryté americkými autoúvěry a daty Chainlink v reálném čase. Jde o on-chain přístup k trhu autoúvěrů za 1,6 bilionu USD.
AUTO Markets Go Live on SolanaHastra's AUTO markets are now live on Solana, backed by US auto loans originated by Figure and powered by Chainlink Data Streams. The launch brings real-time loan data onchain, offering DeFi investors exposure to a corner of consumer credit that has historically sat well beyond the reach of decentralized markets.
Figure is bringing the $1.6 trillion US auto loan market to DeFi, powered by Chainlink. Loans are sourced through Agora Data and delivered to DeFi via Figure Forge. Agora Data, a fintech firm specializing in auto lending for independent car dealers, is the first external partner to leverage Figure Forge, a collaboration announced in late 2024.
Figure's platform allows auto loans to be tokenized and added to its blockchain registry and into the DeFi ecosystem for sale to individual or institutional investors. Chainlink's Data Streams handle the flow of real-time loan data into smart contracts, providing the price and performance feeds that underpin the product's onchain mechanics.
Kamino Strategies and the Road AheadLooping and lending strategies for AUTO are now available on Kamino, giving Solana-native users practical ways to put the asset to work. Chainlink serves as the official oracle infrastructure across Hastra's yield primitives on Solana, with Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) enabling interoperability across blockchains.
Democratized Prime, a decentralized lending marketplace on Figure Markets, is adding auto finance as its first new asset class as part of its plan to build a marketplace where different types of consumer credit can be issued, traded and funded onchain. Figure CEO Michael Tannenbaum said the company has originated over $22 billion in onchain loans and has been deliberately building toward this expansion.
Hastra described the launch as the first proof point in its shift toward durable, cross-chain yield. Chainlink's CCIP is expected to serve as the key enabler for multichain expansion, allowing assets and data to move securely between blockchains and positioning Hastra to grow beyond Solana.
The move marks an early test of whether tokenized private credit can expand beyond home-equity products into mainstream consumer lending, a shift that could widen DeFi's access to real-world yield but also import the credit risks of subprime-style loan markets.

Aplikace napojené na Solanu přes WalletConnect zpracovaly v prvních šesti měsících roku 2026 téměř 4 miliardy dolarů v transakcích. Tahouny byly Kamino, Jupiter a Jito.
Solana-connected applications pushed nearly $4 billion in transaction volume through WalletConnect during the first six months of 2026. That figure, spanning January through June, came from roughly 500,000 transactions across 766 apps operating in 200 countries.
To put Solana’s share in perspective, WalletConnect’s total network volume surpassed $207 billion during the same period. Solana’s $4 billion slice works out to just under 2% of that total.
What’s actually driving the volume Three names keep surfacing as the engines behind Solana’s WalletConnect activity: Kamino, Jupiter, and Jito.
Jupiter has cemented itself as Solana’s go-to aggregator for swaps, routing trades across multiple decentralized exchanges to find users better prices. When volume flows through Jupiter, it tends to mean retail and power users alike are actively trading on-chain rather than sitting on centralized exchanges.

Kamino handles automated liquidity strategies and lending, giving users ways to put idle capital to work. Its presence at the top of the Solana leaderboard on WalletConnect suggests that lending and liquidity provision, not just speculation, are driving real engagement.
Jito has carved out a niche in liquid staking on Solana. Liquid staking lets users earn staking rewards while keeping their tokens usable in DeFi protocols. Jito’s prominence in these numbers signals that Solana’s staking economy is maturing beyond simple lock-and-forget strategies.
WalletConnect’s quiet dominance The $207 billion in total network volume across H1 2026 underscores how deeply embedded WalletConnect has become in the daily rhythm of crypto usage. The geographic spread adds another layer. Transactions coming from 200 countries means this isn’t a Silicon Valley hobby or a Southeast Asian phenomenon.
WalletConnect shared the H1 2026 network update through its official channels around late July, and members of the Solana ecosystem quickly amplified the data.
Context and competitive positioning The 766 applications plugged into WalletConnect on Solana hint at ecosystem depth. Nearly 800 apps suggest a broader base of builders shipping products that people actually use.
It’s also worth noting that WalletConnect is just one connectivity layer. Users interacting directly through browser extensions, mobile wallets with native integrations, or embedded wallet SDKs wouldn’t show up in these numbers. The $4 billion is a floor, not a ceiling.
What this means for investors For anyone watching Solana’s fundamentals, these WalletConnect numbers offer a useful health check. Transaction volume through a neutral connectivity layer is harder to game than metrics like total value locked, which can be inflated by token price appreciation or recursive lending strategies. When half a million transactions flow through a third-party infrastructure provider, it suggests genuine user demand.
One risk to monitor is concentration. Three protocols driving the lion’s share of a chain’s WalletConnect activity means that a smart contract exploit, a governance dispute, or a regulatory action targeting any one of them could meaningfully dent the numbers.

Morgan Stanley Investment Management spustila Solana Trust ($MSOL) s poplatkem 0,14 %, nejnižším mezi americkými Solana ETF. První den zobchodoval asi 19 milionů USD.
Morgan Stanley Investment Management, the asset management arm of the eponymous financial services giant, entered the Solana Spot ETF race yesterday, July 28, with the launch of the Morgan Stanley Solana Trust ($MSOL) on NYSE Arca. The firm also launched the Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust ($MSSE) on the same day.
The fund charges a 0.14% expense ratio, making it the lowest-cost Solana ETF in the U.S. market.
The launch also expands Morgan Stanley Investment Management's ETF and ETP platform, which now includes 22 products with more than $14 billion in assets under management. The firm's digital asset lineup now covers $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL after launching the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust earlier this year.
$MSOL’s Strong First Day Trading $MSOL recorded roughly $19 million in trading volume during its first day, with 951,216 shares changing hands.
Like its competitors, the ETF integrates staking from launch. Morgan Stanley intends to stake up to 100% of the fund's $SOL holdings, although that allocation may vary. Investors will receive an anticipated 95% of staking rewards, while Morgan Stanley will not retain any share of those rewards. Institutional staking provider Figment will supply staking services for the new fund.
Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas described the launch as one of the most significant developments for spot ether and Solana ETFs since the initial wave of crypto ETFs.
He noted that Morgan Stanley's 16,000 financial advisors oversee roughly $7 trillion in client assets, giving the firm's products access to one of the largest wealth management networks in the world. Balchunas also pointed out that the firm's 0.14% fee immediately made both $MSOL and $MSSE the cheapest funds in their respective categories, while highlighting that Morgan Stanley plans to pass 100% of staking rewards back to ETF investors.
"Digital assets are becoming an increasingly important component of diversified investment portfolios. As client interest in digital assets continues to grow, we’re focused on providing a range of digital asset solutions that allow investors to diversify their portfolios across traditional and decentralized asset classes while also adhering to Morgan Stanley’s standards for governance, infrastructure and risk management." - Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley
Competition Intensifies on Fees Morgan Stanley's aggressive pricing arrived as competition among Solana ETF issuers continues to increase.
On July 27, 21Shares announced a 12-month sponsor fee waiver for its Solana ETF (TSOL). Beginning July 28, the fund reduced its fee from 0.21% to 0.00%, temporarily making it the lowest-cost Solana ETF in the United States until July 28, 2027.
The U.S. Spot Solana ETFs are sorted by their fees in the table below:
Mixed Signals Across the Solana ETF Market Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley also highlighted another milestone yesterday, announcing that one of the world's largest wealth management firms had made the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF available to its advisors and clients. He described the move as another sign that Solana continues to move further into mainstream finance.
Despite that announcement and Morgan Stanley's debut, U.S. spot Solana ETFs collectively recorded $18.07 million in net outflows on July 28. All outflows came from Bitwise's $BSOL, marking the largest single-day outflow from U.S. spot Solana ETFs in 8 months. The last time a larger outflow occurred was on December 3, 2025, when investors withdrew $32.19 million.
Unless U.S Spot Solana ETFs see some humongous inflows before the end of the week, July would mark a second consecutive month with net outflows since the $786,580 netted in June.

Bulk Trade Launches BIP-1 With Near-Zero Cost To Deploy Perp Markets
Aurora Labs spustila pro Solflare nativní cross-chain převody přes Aurora Intents, které umožňují posílat aktiva z Bitcoinu, Etherea a dalších sítí přímo do Solany bez klasických bridge rozhraní.
Aurora Labs has launched native cross-chain funding for Solflare wallets through Aurora Intents, allowing users to move assets from Bitcoin, Ethereum and other leading blockchains directly into Solana without interacting with traditional bridge interfaces.
Aurora Intents is powered by NEAR Intents, which settles more than $23 billion in total transaction volume and processes over $2.3 billion each month.
The integration introduces permanent deposit addresses for each supported blockchain and token. According to the projects, users simply transfer assets to the assigned address, while Aurora Intents automatically manages cross-chain routing, liquidity sourcing and token conversion using NEAR Intents infrastructure before delivering assets to Solflare.

Aurora Labs says transfers from Ethereum-based networks generally complete in under one minute, while Bitcoin deposits take about 14 minutes.
The initial release supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, Tron and NEAR. SOL and stablecoins are the primary destination assets, with additional tokens supported depending on liquidity availability.
The platform charges a 0.1% fee for stablecoin transfers and 1% for other assets, although all deposits will be fee-free during the first month after launch, subject to a combined $125,000 fee waiver.
Aurora Labs said replacing bridge applications with reusable deposit addresses removes one of crypto’s biggest onboarding friction points.
“Bridging has always carried too much anxiety — too many steps, too much that can go wrong. We chose Aurora Intents because its intent-based model removes all of that: you state what you want on Solana, and you receive the real token, on one permanent address for each source-chain-and-token pair that you can reuse forever. No dApp to connect, no wrapped assets,” Vidor Gencel, co-founder and co-CEO of Solflare, stated.
“We think this turns the hardest part of getting onto Solana into something as simple and trusted as a send — and makes Solflare the natural gateway to Solana for funds flowing in from every major chain,” he added.
Solflare said the approach provides users with a simpler and more trusted way to bring assets into the Solana ecosystem.
“Exchanges trained users to copy a deposit address and send funds, and Aurora Intents now brings that same action to a self-custodial wallet,” Declan Hannon, CEO of Aurora Labs, noted. “Apps lose users at the funding step, and most of those users already hold assets somewhere else. Aurora Intents turns that into a deposit address, and both the funds and the users arrive on Solana.”
The rollout follows continued growth across the Solana ecosystem, where monthly active addresses rose approximately 50% during Q1 2026. Solflare currently has more than 4 million active users and over $15 billion in assets under self-custody.

PhoenixTrade na Solaně poprvé překročil $10 milionů v open interest, podle zpráv až na $11 milionů. Růst přišel po spuštění pobídkového programu Flight Club s odměnami ve výši $420 tis. v USDC.
PhoenixTrade, the perpetual futures DEX built on Solana by Ellipsis Labs, has crossed $10 million in open interest for the first time. Reports indicate the figure climbed as high as $11 million, representing a roughly 25% jump from its previous all-time high of $8.8 million set just weeks earlier in June 2026.
What’s driving the surge PhoenixTrade launched its “Flight Club” incentive program on July 27-28, just a day or two before the open interest milestone landed. The program allocates $420K in USDC rewards over 28 days, distributed based on trading volume, open interest held, and referrals.
The incentive launch also coincided with Phoenix crossing $1 billion in cumulative unincentivized perpetual trading volume.
Advertisement
According to DeFiLlama data, PhoenixTrade’s cumulative perpetual volume sits around $917 million, with roughly $163 million in 30-day trading volume and approximately $67 million in 24-hour volume.
The architecture advantage PhoenixTrade’s technical pitch centers on what it calls a “crankless” fully on-chain order book. Traditional on-chain order books require external actors, called cranks, to process and match orders. Phoenix eliminates that intermediary step. The practical result: gasless trading and transaction fees of roughly 0.005%.
Solana’s perps landscape is getting crowded PhoenixTrade’s milestone is happening in a Solana ecosystem that includes perps competitors Jupiter, Drift Protocol, and Zeta Markets. Hyperliquid, which runs its own L1, has become the benchmark that every on-chain perps platform gets measured against, with open interest regularly sitting in the billions compared to PhoenixTrade’s $10-11 million.
The $420K Flight Club program runs for 28 days. The real test comes after the rewards stop flowing.
What this means for investors Incentive programs like Flight Club can create artificial volume spikes that collapse once rewards dry up. If PhoenixTrade’s open interest drops back below $8 million after the 28-day program ends, it would suggest the milestone was more sugar rush than structural growth.
PhoenixTrade’s 0.005% fee structure leaves very little room to go lower, which means the protocol needs to win on volume and user experience rather than further fee cuts.

Solflare spustil Bridge, nativní cross-chain funkci pro přesun aktiv na Solanu bez nutnosti manuálního schvalování. Podporuje $ETH, $BTC a @Base a doručuje je do peněženky v podobě $SOL nebo $USDC.
@Solflare has officially launched Bridge, a native cross-chain feature built to remove the friction that has long made moving assets onto @Solana more cumbersome than it should be. The product is powered by @Near_intents and @Auroraisnear, and it is live now.
How It Works The core mechanic is straightforward. Bridge assigns users permanent deposit addresses for assets held on $ETH, $BTC, and @Base. Funds sent to those addresses arrive in a Solflare wallet as $SOL or $USDC, with no manual approvals and no need to connect a separate dApp. The goal is a single-step experience that feels closer to a standard transfer than a multi-chain operation.
The infrastructure behind it is @Near_intents, a protocol that has been expanding its footprint quickly across the industry. Rather than routing assets through a conventional bridge, NEAR Intents lets users express a desired outcome without needing to understand the underlying execution mechanics. That request is distributed to a network of solvers, including market makers and AI agents, who compete to fulfil it. Initial matching happens off-chain in as little as 100 milliseconds. The protocol has now processed more than $13 billion in all-time volume across 35-plus chains.
@Auroraisnear, an EVM-compatible environment running on NEAR Protocol, provides the EVM compatibility layer that allows the system to interact with Ethereum-based assets and chains.
Fees and Launch Incentives To mark the rollout, Solflare is running a 30-day fee waiver worth up to $125,000 in potential savings for early users. Once the promotional period ends, standardised fees will apply: 0.1% for stablecoin-to-stablecoin transfers and 1% for all other assets. The fee structure is designed to support a high-velocity retail settlement model as the protocol scales.
The launch adds Solflare to a growing list of wallets and applications integrating NEAR Intents directly into their products. Wallets and trading apps using NEAR Intents are already handling around $2.5 billion in monthly volume. For Solana, which has historically been one of the harder networks to bridge into cleanly, the integration represents a meaningful improvement in onboarding experience for users coming from Ethereum or Bitcoin.

Kamino has launched the $PAXG Market, introducing gold-backed credit to its lending platform on Solana. Curated by Steakhouse Financial, the new market allows users to supply Pax Gold ($PAXG) as collateral and borrow $USDG, giving tokenized gold holders a way to access liquidity without selling their assets.
Users can buy $PAXG, deposit it into Kamino, and borrow $USDG against their holdings at 1.9% APY. The launch makes tokenized gold usable as onchain collateral through a dedicated lending market.
How the $PAXG Market Works Pax Gold is a digital asset backed by physical gold, with each $PAXG token representing 1 fine troy ounce of a London Good Delivery gold bar stored in LBMA vaults. Holders own the underlying gold through Paxos Trust Company, an OCC-regulated custodian that conducts monthly audits of its allocated reserves.
Kamino designed the $PAXG Market as a fully isolated lending market with its own risk parameters and oracle infrastructure. Chainlink powers price feeds for the market, helping determine collateral values and borrowing limits independently from other assets on the platform.
OnRe Continues Rapid Growth The launch comes as Kamino's RWA markets continue to expand. The OnRe Market surpassed $200 million in total market size last week and now stands at over $206 million.
The market has grown nearly 70% over the past 90 days, making it the 2nd-largest RWA market on Kamino and the 4th-largest market overall.
Current OnRe metrics include a total supply of $206.1 million, $127 million of $ONyc used as collateral, $69.7 million borrowed against collateral, 24% growth over the past 30 days, and 66% growth over the past 90 days.
The market has expanded from roughly $50 million in February to more than $200 million today.
Ethena Remains One of Kamino's Largest Markets Kamino's Ethena Market has also maintained strong momentum since its launch. On May 14, Kamino reported that the market became the fastest in the platform's history to exceed $400 million in size. Within its first 24 hours, it reached a $200 million borrow cap, attracted more than $225 million in $USDe deposits, and deployed more than $420 million overall.
Today, 75 days after its May 13 launch, the Ethena Market has grown to $522.8 million, making it one of Kamino's largest lending markets.
RWA Lending Evolves on Solana According to Blockworks' Solana Q2 Tokenholder Report, deposits across Solana's 2 largest money markets, Kamino and Jupiter Lend, reached $4.1 billion at the end of the quarter, while outstanding loans totaled $1.6 billion.
The addition of new lending markets tied to tokenized assets continues to broaden the range of collateral available on Solana as interest in real-world assets grows.

Robinhood Chain za posledních sedm dní v průměru obchodoval s tokenizovanými akciemi za 29,7 milionu USD denně, což je víc než dvě solanové platformy dohromady. Tahounem byly memecoinové páry navázané na tokenizované akcie.
Tokenized stocks on Robinhood's three-week-old chain averaged $29.7 million in daily DEX volume over the past week, more than Solana's xStocks and Backpack venues combined, with memecoin pairs supplying the push.
Tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain averaged $29.7 million in daily DEX volume over the past seven days, according to a Dune dashboard maintained by OKX's Web3 wallet team — more than Solana's two stock-trading venues, xStocks at $11.1 million and Backpack's Sunrise at $13.4 million, combined.
Robinhood built the chain to put equities onchain, and through mid-July the network's activity was almost entirely memecoin speculation. The volume that finally arrived came through those same memecoins: tokens launched with tokenized stocks as their liquidity pairs, a loop that locks real equity supply in pools and has pulled stock trading up with it. If the pattern holds, Robinhood Chain has found a retail on-ramp for tokenized equities that RWA platforms have spent years searching for.
Tokenized Nvidia is the chain's most-traded stock, with $13.9 million in volume over the past day, followed by SpaceX at $6.2 million, Apple at $4.5 million and GameStop at $2.2 million, per Uniswap's explore page for the chain. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev has framed the equities push as the chain's core purpose. "Robinhood Chain exists to make real world assets programmable, globally portable, and always available, with the product quality you've come to expect from Robinhood," he posted on X on July 16.
Memecoins Did the MarketingThe surge traces to launch platforms Bankr and long.xyz, which in mid-July began letting users issue memecoins backed by tokenized stock liquidity across more than 90 tickers. The pairs now populate the chain's trending list: DEX Screener shows memecoins trading against NVDA, TSLA, INTC, RBLX and SPCX among Robinhood Chain's top 100 pools, led by Artificial Inu (AI/NVDA) at $2.6 million in daily volume.
Because these tokens hold tokenized shares as pool collateral, memecoin trading generates stock-token volume as a byproduct, and the deposited shares stay locked while the pairs trade. Daily active tokenized-stock traders on the chain peaked above 20,000 in the week of July 20, per the Dune data, the highest of any stock-token platform tracked.
Binance Looms Over EveryoneThe chain-versus-chain race has a much larger elephant outside it: Binance's bStocks on BNB Chain averaged $676.8 million in daily DEX volume over the same seven days, more than 20 times Robinhood's figure, per the same dashboard.

Ondo's multichain stock tokens averaged $24.9 million. The dashboard counts only genuine tokenized stocks — about 102 assets from Robinhood's RWA factory — and excludes the chain's official market-maker address, so the figures understate total activity but strip out house liquidity.
Tokenized stocks also remain a sliver of Robinhood Chain itself. The chain cleared roughly $444 million in total DEX volume over the past day against $332.7 million in total value locked, per DefiLlama, and most of that volume is memecoins like CASHCAT and PONS. Real-world assets on the chain carry about $81 million in active market value, next to $489 million in stablecoins.
Solana still dwarfs Robinhood Chain in overall DEX volume, value locked and users. But on the narrower question of where tokenized stocks change hands onchain, Robinhood Chain now clears more than any Solana venue, three weeks after launch.
Clear Creek Financial Management v 13F přiznala expozici vůči Bitcoin, ETH, XRP a SOL ETF. Největší pozici má v Bitwise Bitcoin ETF za 9,69 milionu USD.
Clear Creek Financial Management, a Wall Street investment advisory firm with over $1.5 billion in assets under management (AUM), has revealed its crypto ETF investments. It has products pegged to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP and Solana (SOL) in its latest filing of Form 13F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Wall Street Firm Discloses Bitcoin, ETH, XRP, SOL Holdings The filing reflects the firm’s biggest crypto investment as the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF. It holds 304,155 shares, which valued at $9.69 million at the close of the reporting period. Clear Creek also held shares in the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, holding $477,412 worth of the fund, and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF, which has $248,539 worth of holdings.
Ethereum was also the second largest allocation of the firm’s crypto ETF. The filing revealed 337,162 shares of the Bitwise Ethereum ETF valued at $3.80 million. It also had 14,336 shares worth $170,455 of the iShares Ethereum Trust and 21,374 shares of the Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF, valued at $321,251.
In addition to the two biggest cryptocurrencies, Clear Creek also had stakes in XRP and Solana ETFs. According to the filing, the firm held 11,621 shares of the Bitwise XRP ETF, which currently have a value of $135,501.
The investment manager stated he had 11,258 shares of the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF with a value of $112,693 in addition to 28,144 shares of the Grayscale Solana Staking ETF valued at $155,636 worth.
The filing comes as institutional interest in crypto ETFs expands. Moreover, the latest 13F filing reveals that Clear Creek Financial Management has a crypto strategy beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum as it is also holding XRP and Solana investment products.
Robinhood Chain po spuštění mainnetu 1. července překonal Solanu v počtu držitelů tokenizovaných akcií a dosáhl 329 200 peněženek. Celý sektor od začátku července vzrostl na 934 800 držitelů.
The number of tokenized stock holders has jumped nearly 68.5% since the beginning of July, reaching 934,800 from 554,900. This surge has largely been driven by the launch of Robinhood Chain, which now leads the sector in tokenized stock holders.
Robinhood Chain surpasses competitorsRecent data indicates that Robinhood Chain now counts 329,200 asset holders, outpacing previous leaders in the space. Solana, which held the top spot for most of the past year, now has 281,400 tokenized stock holders, while BNB Chain follows with 214,600. The rapid ascent of Robinhood Chain follows its mainnet launch on July 1.
Within four weeks, Robinhood Chain has overtaken networks that previously dominated the tokenized equities sector. The holder distribution chart highlights a sharp spike in July, with Robinhood Chain now representing nearly a third of all tokenized stock holders in the market.
The sharp increase in Robinhood Chain’s holder base reflects how existing brokerage users became tokenized equity holders without the typical barriers of wallet setup or cross-chain transfers. This shift resulted in a visible on-chain growth, reinforcing the impact of user base integration on network dynamics.
Distribution advantage drives growthThe rapid rise in tokenized stock holders on Robinhood Chain is not attributed to superior blockchain infrastructure. Instead, the network benefited from direct access to Robinhood’s extensive user base, already estimated at 28 million. By seamlessly integrating tokenized equities into an established brokerage app, Robinhood made it easy for users to gain exposure to these assets without additional hurdles such as wallet management, bridges, or gas fees.
Competing networks in the tokenized stock space have focused on attracting crypto-native users to stock offerings, often resulting in slower growth. Robinhood’s distribution model enabled it to quickly convert stock investors into blockchain asset holders, boosting adoption metrics in a short period.
Despite accounting for roughly 35% of tokenized stock holders, Robinhood Chain holds just $44 million in assets. In contrast, Ondo manages approximately $857 million with significantly fewer wallets. This gap indicates a predominance of small retail accounts within Robinhood’s platform, where average holdings per wallet amount to just over $130.
While Robinhood has rapidly expanded its base of tokenized stock accounts, capital concentration remains relatively low. Ondo, with fewer but larger accounts, continues to capture a significant portion of the sector’s overall value. This distinction highlights the difference between distribution metrics, measured by wallet count, and capital metrics, reflected in total assets under management.
Holder count serves as a distribution metric, not a capital metric, leading to divergent trends between the number of wallets and the actual capital invested across platforms.
Memecoin activity remains strongTrading volume on Robinhood Chain remains dominated by memecoin activity, even as tokenized equities continue to gain traction. The speculative environment initially provided the network with liquidity and attention, which in turn created a foundation for broader asset diversification.
Looking ahead, the evolution of Robinhood Chain’s asset base will depend on whether average balances per wallet increase. If the trend of small holdings continues, Robinhood may remain a high-volume, low-capital network, while platforms like Ondo lead in total assets. If average holdings rise across Robinhood’s 329,000 wallets, its position in the sector could shift significantly.
In this dynamic environment, platforms that streamline access to both traditional and digital assets may continue to grow. For example, 1stepSwap enables users to access shares of leading U.S. companies and commodities like gold or silver directly through their wallets. By automatically searching for the best price available, 1stepSwap helps users efficiently diversify their portfolios with tokenized real-world assets and equities in real time.

Solana is about to get a lot more room to breathe. The network’s per-block compute limit is jumping from 60 million to 100 million Compute Units, a 66% increase that will go live within 24 hours at the start of Epoch 1009.
Think of Compute Units as the fuel budget each block gets to process transactions. A higher cap means more transactions, more complex smart contract calls, and more overall activity can fit into a single block.
From 50M to 100M in rapid succession Here’s the thing about this upgrade: it’s the second major compute limit increase in less than a week. SIMD-0256, which raised the cap from the original 50 million CUs to 60 million, only went live on July 23, 2025. Now SIMD-0286 is pushing it to 100 million.
Advertisement
SIMD-0286 was authored by Lucas Bruder from Jito Labs back in May 2025. Jito is one of the most influential infrastructure players in the Solana ecosystem, best known for its MEV-focused validator client.
One important nuance: this upgrade only touches the Maximum Block Units limit. The Max Writable Account Units stays locked at 12 million, and Max Vote Units remains at 36 million. It’s like widening a highway without increasing the speed limit for any single car.
Why Solana needs the headroom That said, there’s a trade-off worth flagging. Higher compute limits mean each block takes more resources to process and validate. Validators running on lower-end hardware could see increased execution times, which could theoretically impact the network’s famously fast block production. The Solana community will need to watch validator performance metrics closely in the days after activation.
What this means for investors The risk side of the equation centers on execution. If the higher compute limit leads to validator instability, block production hiccups, or increased centralization pressure as smaller validators struggle to keep up, the upgrade could backfire.
Watch for validator metrics in the 48-72 hours after Epoch 1009 begins. Skip time, block production rates, and transaction success rates will tell the real story of whether Solana’s infrastructure can handle the ambition its governance process keeps approving.

Ztráty z kryptohacků v 1. pololetí 2026 přesáhly 1 miliardu USD, přičemž Blockaid zaznamenal 212 bezpečnostních incidentů za šest měsíců. Největší ztráty zasáhly Ethereum s asi 332 miliony USD a Solanu s 326 miliony USD.
Crypto losses topped $1 billion in the first half of 2026 as the industry recorded its highest number of hacks in a six-month period, according to onchain security platform Blockaid.
Ethereum and Solana recorded the largest losses from incidents affecting their networks, with roughly $332 million and $326 million in stolen funds, respectively, Blockaid said in its H1 2026 security report published Tuesday.
Blockaid tracked 212 security incidents during the period, with the largest single exploit coming from KelpDAO at $292 million, while the platform verified 3.4 times as many high-threshold exploits in H1 2026 as across all of 2025.
Code exploits drove Ethereum incidents, while breaches of keys and signing infrastructure accounted for most Solana losses, according to the report.
Ethereum losses reflected the risks of high-value protocolsEthereum incurred the highest losses from incidents in H1 2026, with attackers primarily targeting vulnerabilities in applications built on the network.
Blockaid said code exploits dominated Ethereum incidents by count, with major losses also linked to key compromises involving Humanity Protocol and StablR. CoWSwap, an Ethereum-based decentralized exchange, was the only major Ethereum incident in the report classified as a user mistake.

Blockaid identified several common attack methods targeting Ethereum, including bugs in bridges and smart contracts, unauthorized access to privileged accounts and market manipulation techniques.
The report said Ethereum remains a major target because it hosts many of the crypto industry’s most valuable applications, including restaking platforms, stablecoins and decentralized exchanges.
Solana losses surged as attackers shifted focusSolana incurred nearly as much in losses as Ethereum during the first half of 2026, a sharp increase from the roughly $127 million in stolen funds the network recorded during 2025.
“2025 had $2.58 billion lost across 63 incidents, concentrated in Q1 by Bybit’s $1.5 billion, with Ethereum and Arbitrum the top chains by stolen-fund flow,” Blockaid CEO Ido Ben-Natan told Cointelegraph.

The change did not stem from a rise in smart contract exploits. Instead, compromised keys accounted for more than 98% of Solana’s losses, driven largely by incidents involving Drift Protocol and Step Finance, which Blockaid linked to North Korea-linked cyber groups.
Unlike Ethereum, where attackers primarily exploited vulnerabilities in protocol code, Solana incidents targeted signer infrastructure and organizational security, while a handful of code exploits involving Raydium and Volo accounted for the remaining losses.

Circle v červenci na síti Solana emitovala dalších 500 milionů USDC ve dvou tranších po 250 milionech. Kumulativní emise na Solaně tak přesáhla 66 miliard USDC.
Circle just dropped another half-billion dollars worth of USDC onto Solana, and at this point it’s starting to feel like a recurring calendar event. The stablecoin issuer minted $500 million in new USDC on the Solana blockchain in July, executed in two neat tranches of $250 million each.
Here’s the thing: this isn’t a one-off. It’s the latest chapter in what’s become a sustained liquidity migration toward Solana that’s been building throughout 2026, with Circle simultaneously burning USDC on other chains, notably Ethereum.
The numbers behind the shift The $500 million mint, flagged by on-chain monitoring services like Whale Alert and Onchain Lens, pushed even more dollar-denominated liquidity into Solana’s trading and DeFi infrastructure. A similar $500 million single-day mint occurred earlier on June 8, suggesting Circle has found a comfortable cadence for these large-scale issuances.
Advertisement
By mid-July, cumulative USDC minting on Solana had exceeded $66 billion in gross issuance. That’s not net supply, mind you. It’s the total volume of USDC that Circle has created on the network over time, which includes tokens that have since been burned or bridged elsewhere.
Solana’s share of the global USDC supply has briefly climbed above 10% during peak periods in 2026. For a network that only received native USDC issuance starting in late 2020, that’s a remarkable trajectory.
Why Circle keeps choosing Solana Circle’s minting decisions are demand-driven. When traders and institutions need more USDC on a particular chain, Circle mints to meet that demand. The fact that these $250 million tranches keep landing on Solana tells you where the activity is migrating.
The relationship between Circle and Solana dates back to a formal partnership with the Solana Foundation that enabled native USDC issuance on the platform. Since then, Circle has progressively increased its minting allocation to Solana, especially as the network’s DeFi ecosystem matured and attracted more institutional capital.
What this means for traders and the broader market More stablecoins on a network generally translates to deeper liquidity pools, tighter spreads, and better execution for traders. When $500 million in fresh USDC hits Solana’s DeFi protocols, it flows into automated market makers, lending platforms, and perpetual futures venues that form the backbone of on-chain trading.
For now, the arrows point firmly toward Solana continuing to absorb a growing share of the global stablecoin supply, with each $500 million mint reinforcing the network’s position as a primary venue for dollar-denominated on-chain activity.

Solana Policy Institute varuje, že bez schválení CLARITY Act může kapitál z krypta odtéct do jiných jurisdikcí. Zákon má chránit vývojáře a neúschovné peněženky před statusem „money transmitter“.
There’s a pile of money sitting on the sidelines of the crypto industry right now. Whether it actually enters the game depends on a piece of legislation most people outside Washington have never heard of.
Kristin Smith, president of the Solana Policy Institute, is sounding the alarm that the CLARITY Act needs to pass, and soon. Her core argument is straightforward: investors are ready to deploy capital into the digital asset ecosystem, but they won’t do it if the legal framework remains a question mark.
What the CLARITY Act actually does The bill tackles one of crypto’s most persistent regulatory headaches: who exactly is responsible when software facilitates financial transactions? Under current ambiguity, open-source developers, validators, and non-custodial wallet providers exist in a legal gray zone that makes institutional investors deeply uncomfortable.
Section 604 of the act is where the action is. It would protect developers who don’t have control over user assets from being classified as money transmitters.
Advertisement
The bill also aims to exempt non-custodial software maintainers from money transmitter obligations. This distinction matters enormously for decentralized networks like Solana, where thousands of independent validators and developers contribute to the ecosystem without ever touching user funds.
The Senate Banking Committee cleared the bill in May 2026 with a 15-9 vote, pushing it toward a potential floor vote. Smith has described the legislation as having a significant chance of passing the Senate before the August recess.
The capital flight concern Smith’s warning centers on a dynamic that crypto observers have watched play out for years. When the US fails to provide clear rules, projects and capital migrate to jurisdictions that do.
The stakes are particularly concrete for Solana’s ecosystem. The network’s real-world asset value sits at approximately $3 billion, a figure that represents tangible financial infrastructure already built on the chain. That’s not speculative token value. That’s tokenized treasuries, real estate, and other traditional assets living on Solana’s rails.
The opposition isn’t trivial either. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has publicly criticized the bill, and negotiations around conflict-of-interest clauses remain unresolved. The ethics provisions have become a sticking point that could delay or dilute the final legislation.
Why this matters beyond Solana While the Solana Policy Institute obviously has skin in this game, the CLARITY Act’s implications extend well beyond any single blockchain network. The developer protection provisions would apply across the entire US digital asset landscape, affecting everyone from Ethereum core contributors to Bitcoin node operators.
The 15-9 committee vote suggests the bill has meaningful bipartisan support, but committee votes and floor votes are different animals. Senate floor time is a precious commodity, and crypto legislation has to compete with every other priority on the majority leader’s calendar.
If the bill doesn’t reach a floor vote before recess, the legislative calendar gets significantly more crowded in the fall.
Solana’s $3 billion in real-world assets demonstrates that serious capital has already committed to the ecosystem despite the regulatory fog. The question Smith is really asking is how much more would flow in if the fog lifted, and how much of what’s already there might eventually drift toward clearer skies.

Coinbase spustila v aplikaci záložku Launches pro okamžité obchodování nových tokenů na Solana a Base přes DEX. Uživatelé tak mohou obchodovat hned po nasazení na blockchain.
@Coinbase has rolled out a new "Launches" tab inside its app, integrating a real-time decentralized exchange (DEX) interface for @Solana and @Base assets. The move gives users the ability to find and trade tokens the moment they are deployed on-chain, cutting out the multi-week wait that typically comes with a traditional centralized exchange listing.
Bypassing the Old Listing ProcessHistorically, getting a token listed on Coinbase required a formal review process that could take weeks or longer. The new Launches tab sidesteps that entirely for on-chain assets. The feature allows immediate trading of newly created Solana tokens without a separate Coinbase listing. Coinbase's Solana product lead has stated that the goal is "to make the millions of new assets created on-chain immediately accessible to all users," adding that issuers gain near-instant access to a global user base.
On the decentralized trading side, Coinbase is integrating Jupiter, Solana's largest DEX aggregator, directly into its interface. Jupiter routes trades across multiple liquidity sources to find the best execution price. For @Base assets, the exchange uses its own native on-chain liquidity, given that Base is Coinbase's own Ethereum Layer 2 network.
The DEX functionality is available in both the main Coinbase app and the newly rebranded Base App, which bundles trading, earning, and various on-chain activities into a single interface. Coinbase has also signaled plans to expand the feature to additional networks in future updates.
What This Means for Memecoin Traders The integration brings millions of Solana-based tokens to Coinbase users, promising to make buying long-tail assets, including project tokens and memecoins, as easy as buying Bitcoin. In practice, users will be able to buy any tradable asset on Solana using $USDC, or even purchase tokens directly using their bank account or debit card.
For Coinbase, the strategic logic is straightforward. The platform has long ceded high-velocity early-stage token flow to native DEX platforms and on-chain trading bots. Bringing that activity in-house captures a segment of retail demand it previously could not serve. The integration theoretically increases the total addressable market of Solana-based assets, with the exchange reportedly servicing over 105 million total users.
That said, the feature carries risk for retail participants. The Launches tab puts unvetted tokens one tap away from users who may be more accustomed to buying established assets. No automated screening system catches everything, and rug pulls, low-liquidity traps, and tokens with manipulated supply mechanics remain real hazards in the early-stage token space.

Solana přilákala čisté přílivy ve výši asi 552,6 milionu USD a předstihla ostatní sítě, zatímco Ethereum a Arbitrum kapitál odčerpávají. Síť zároveň hlásí TVL ve výši 4,9 miliardy USD a 1,7 milionu denních aktivních adres.
Competition for on-chain liquidity continues to intensify. However, ecosystems with greater utility continue to attract more capital.
Recent cross-chain flows show Solana [SOL] attracting roughly $552.6 million in net inflows, outpacing all other competing networks.
Ethereum remains the largest source of outgoing capital, while Arbitrum [ARB], Base, BNB Chain, and Tron [TRX] also direct liquidity toward Solana. These migrations indicate users find value in a network providing multiple use cases versus a single purpose.
Source: X Robinhood Chain may lead tokenized-equity DEX volume, although that advantage remains limited to one niche. In contrast, Solana maintains $4.9 billion in TVL, $16.4 billion in stablecoins, over 1.7 million daily active addresses, and $1.1 billion in DEX volume.
Together, those metrics reinforce stronger network effects and sustained capital attraction.
Can buyers regain control above key resistance? While the Solana ecosystem continues to be attractive for investors, no one in the market has been able to translate this attraction into a breakthrough
After rebounding from $73.23 to nearly $80, profit-taking emerged near the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $79.80, slowing the recovery. Even though sellers were unable to take out the support at $75.52, they did establish a new high and thus prevented the price from revisiting the July lows.
Source: SOL/USD on TradingView This indicates that there is a gradual absorption of selling by the buyer’s side as opposed to aggressive buying. At press time, SOL was trading within a very tight range around $76.46, reflecting a temporary balance between demand and supply.
A close above $77.32 would suggest fresh capital is translating into stronger conviction, whereas losing $75.52 would indicate sellers have regained short-term control.
Consumer spending reinforces Solana’s growth While capital inflows and improving price action point to growing confidence, payment activity suggests that confidence is increasingly translating into real-world usage.
Monthly crypto card top-ups climbed steadily through 2025 before accelerating sharply in 2026, reaching a record $94.32 million in May.
Crypto card top-ups in terms of monthly volumes increased steadily through 2025 prior to an acceleration in growth in 2026. The peak was reached at a record $94.32 million in May.
Although volumes eased after that month, they remained above $70 million, indicating users were continuing to spend on the network and not abandoning it.
KAST still processes most transactions, yet other providers are gradually expanding their share.
Source: X The broader participation helps reduce reliance on one platform and hence strengthens the payment ecosystem.
Most importantly, consumer spending is rising, which indicates Solana’s growth is no longer driven primarily by trading and DeFi. Instead, users are increasingly relying upon the network for daily transactional use, reinforcing broader adoption and supporting long-term demand within the ecosystem.
Spotové ETF navázané na Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solanu a XRP přilákaly za týden více než 152 milionů USD v čistých přílivech. Nejvíc přispěl Bitcoin, zatímco Solana a XRP dál postupně sbírají kapitál.
Spot ETFs tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP collectively attracted more than $152 million in net inflows during the week of mid-July 2026. Bitcoin did the heavy lifting, as usual, but the quieter story is the steady capital trickling into newer products like Solana and XRP funds.
On July 21 alone, Bitcoin spot ETFs pulled in $203.2 million. Ethereum followed with $37.5 million, while Solana and XRP added $5.8 million and $5.66 million respectively, according to data tracked by SoSoValue.
Bitcoin still dominates, but the field is widening Bitcoin has had a spot ETF since 2024, giving it a massive head start in accumulating assets under management. Ethereum launched its own spot product the same year. Together, they account for the overwhelming majority of crypto ETF capital.

Solana spot ETFs have now amassed over $1.14 billion in total inflows as of late July 2026.
XRP spot ETFs tell a similar story. Since launching in November 2025, these funds crossed $1 billion in cumulative inflows by the end of December 2025. The fact that positive inflows have continued well into 2026 suggests this wasn’t just a launch-day sugar rush.
What this means for investors Solana’s $1.14 billion in cumulative inflows positions it as a legitimate institutional-grade asset.
XRP’s rapid accumulation of over $1 billion in its first two months was notable in its own right. The token has historically carried regulatory baggage, but the existence of an approved spot ETF effectively signals that the regulatory cloud has cleared enough for major asset managers to participate.
The daily numbers fluctuate considerably, as the gap between Bitcoin’s $203.2 million single-day haul and Solana’s $5.8 million illustrates.

Solana zaznamenala v květnu rekordní objem top-upů u kryptokaret ve výši 94,32 milionu USD. Tyto produkty nyní tvoří asi 22 % celkové aktivity napříč konkurenčními sítěmi.
The Solana blockchain recorded its strongest performance yet in the realm of consumer payment cards. Top-up volumes linked to crypto cards built on the network reached an unprecedented peak in May, climbing to $94.32 million. This figure marks the highest monthly total observed for such activity on Solana and underscores growing real-world usage of the chain beyond pure trading or speculative holding.
These card-related flows now account for a notable share of the broader crypto card market.
Monthly volumes processed through Solana-based products represent approximately 22 percent of the total activity across competing networks.
This positioning reflects steady gains in market share as users increasingly favor platforms that deliver fast settlement and low fees for everyday spending.
Two providers stand out as primary contributors to this momentum: KAST and RedotPay.
Both have developed card offerings that allow holders to convert digital assets or stablecoins into spendable balances usable at merchants worldwide.
Their combined activity has helped propel Solana’s portion of the sector higher, demonstrating how specialized fintech applications can drive tangible on-chain transaction volume.
The rise in top-ups signals more than isolated growth.
It points to wider acceptance of blockchain-powered payment tools among ordinary consumers.
Rather than remaining confined to niche crypto enthusiasts, these cards are facilitating routine purchases, from retail transactions to digital services.
Solana’s architecture, known for high throughput and rapid finality, appears well-suited to supporting the near-instant top-ups and settlements that card users expect.
Comments from industry participants have highlighted the practical advantage of avoiding lengthy confirmation delays that can frustrate users on slower networks.
This development fits into a larger pattern of expanding utility within the Solana ecosystem.
As more projects focus on bridging digital assets with traditional payment rails, metrics such as card top-ups serve as concrete indicators of adoption.
Higher volumes can attract additional developers, foster new product features, and encourage partnerships that further integrate the network into daily financial life.
Observers note that sustained increases in consumer spending through these channels may reinforce Solana’s competitive standing relative to other blockchains competing for payment-related use cases.
Market watchers will likely monitor whether the May peak continues or expands in subsequent months.
Consistent growth could spur further innovation in card design, rewards structures, and multi-chain interoperability.
At the same time, the 22 percent share already achieved illustrates that Solana has secured a meaningful foothold in a segment previously dominated by alternative networks.
The record top-up figures and rising market contribution from leading card issuers provide clear evidence of progress in making Solana a practical foundation for consumer payments. By enabling seamless conversion and spending of on-chain value, these products help move blockchain technology closer to mainstream financial applications, turning network capacity into everyday utility for users around the globe.
Across Protocol’s Risk Labs-operated relayer lost less than $4 million after an attacker fabricated $41.7 million in Solana deposit events. Uživatelé neutrpěli žádné ztráty a ACX buyback zůstává beze změny.
Across Protocol’s Risk Labs-operated relayer lost less than $4 million after an attacker fabricated $41.7 million in Solana deposit events, according to a post-incident report released by the cross-chain protocol.
Summary
1,627 fake deposits worth $41.7 million targeted 18 chains during the Solana attack. Risk Labs’ relayer paid $4.5 million across 581 fraudulent requests before suspending service. Around $500,000 in attacker funds remained trapped, reducing the net loss below $4 million. Across restored Solana transfers through CCTP, while user funds and the ACX buyback remained unaffected. Across attacker forged 1,627 Solana deposits The attack occurred between 05:07 and 06:14 UTC on July 17, according to the Across Protocol post-mortem. The attacker used 1,627 single-use Solana wallets to create the same number of fake deposit events.
Those deposits carried a combined face value of approximately $41.7 million and requested payments across 18 destination chains. Across reported that the funds were directed toward one recipient address on an Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible network.
Risk Labs’ relayer filled 581 requests before Across stopped Solana operations. Those payments represented about 35.7% of the fraudulent requests but only 10.8% of their stated value.
The relayer advanced approximately $4.5 million of its own capital. Across invalidated the remaining 1,046 requests, preventing about $37 million in additional payouts.
Approximately $500,000 belonging to the attacker remained trapped within the protocol. Across deducted that amount from the gross payout to place its net loss below $4 million.
Why Across users avoided the relayer loss Across attributed the breach to a flaw in Risk Labs’ off-chain event-reading software rather than a vulnerability in its smart contracts. The protocol also reported that the attacker did not compromise the Solana network.
Across uses relayers that advance their own assets to complete cross-chain transfers before claiming repayment. That structure left Risk Labs’ relayer responsible for the loss instead of users who had submitted legitimate transactions.
All valid transfers were completed or fully refunded on July 17, according to Across. The protocol’s website shows that it has processed more than $34 billion in transfers without reporting a loss of user funds.
The incident differed from the Lien Finance exploit reported by crypto.news on July 24. SlowMist found that Lien’s attacker exploited a smart contract validation flaw to mint unsupported bond tokens and withdraw approximately 542,144.63 USDC.
crypto.news also reported that a wallet linked to the $285 million Drift Protocol exploit moved 23,095.1 ETH, worth about $44.4 million, through Tornado Cash on July 23 and July 24. Together, the incidents involved separate attack methods: off-chain software failure at Across, faulty contract logic at Lien, and post-exploit laundering tied to Drift.
What the CCTP shift means for US users Across restored Solana service in approximately 12 hours by routing transfers through Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol. The protocol reported that its engineers deployed the root-cause fix about five hours after the attack.
The change has a direct U.S. connection because Circle issues USDC and operates CCTP. Circle states that CCTP burns native USDC on the source network and mints the same amount on the destination network without using traditional bridge liquidity pools or third-party fillers.
For U.S. users moving USDC to or from Solana, the fallback allowed transfers to resume without relying on the affected Risk Labs event reader. The Across breach did not involve USDC’s reserves or Circle’s minting contracts, according to the protocol’s findings.
The shift also comes after the United States established its first federal payment-stablecoin framework through the GENIUS Act. The law requires permitted issuers to maintain qualifying reserves and publish regular disclosures, according to a White House fact sheet. Those rules govern stablecoin issuers rather than the separate relayer software that caused the Across loss.
ACX buyback remains unchanged ACX traded near $0.041 after the post-mortem, with a market capitalization of about $29 million, according to CoinGecko. The token remained more than 97% below its all-time high.
Across stated that the loss would not affect its planned ACX token buyback. However, the protocol did not disclose whether Risk Labs would change its relayer funding, monitoring systems or operating limits.
Solana order flow remains routed through CCTP. Across has not provided a timeline for returning to its earlier routing system or announced the recovery of any additional funds.
Triple-A čelí podezřelému průlomu hot walletů s odtoky přes 9,7 milionu USD napříč několika blockchainy. Zasaženy měly být Ethereum, Solana, TRON a TON, možná i Polygon a Arbitrum. Ukradená aktiva byla následně převedena do zhruba 5 226,66 ETH.
Key Takeaways Suspicious withdrawals exceeding $9.7 million were detected from Triple-A’s hot wallets spanning several blockchain networks The breach affected Ethereum, Solana, TRON, and TON, with potential involvement of Polygon and Arbitrum The alleged attacker converted stolen assets into roughly 5,226.66 ETH and moved them to Ethereum Triple-A remains silent on whether the incident occurred and if user deposits are compromised The Singapore-based firm operates under payment licenses across the United States, European Union, and Singapore A suspected security breach targeting Triple-A, a Singapore-headquartered stablecoin payment infrastructure provider, has resulted in unauthorized withdrawals exceeding $9.7 million from the company’s hot wallets, according to blockchain security researchers monitoring on-chain activity.
⚠️ALERT: Triple-A wallets are under an apparent active exploit with over $9.7M drained.
Onchain analyst Specter has flagged suspicious outflows from Triple-A hot wallets across TRON, Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum, with the stolen assets consolidated into 5,227 ETH.

— Coin Bureau (@coinbureau) July 25, 2026
Blockchain investigator Specter initially identified the anomalous fund movements. Cybersecurity firm PeckShield subsequently confirmed the findings, with damage assessments climbing from an early estimate of $9.3 million to more than $9.7 million as additional transactions were discovered.
Assets Drained From Six Blockchain Networks The unauthorized withdrawals targeted wallets operating on Ethereum, Solana, TRON, and TON blockchains. Additional evidence suggests Polygon and Arbitrum may also have been compromised, potentially expanding the attack surface to six separate networks.
Following extraction, the stolen digital assets underwent conversion and cross-chain bridging operations before landing on Ethereum. The destination wallet contained approximately 5,226.66 ETH when security analysts flagged the activity.
Converting multiple tokens into ETH represents standard procedure following cross-chain breaches, as it simplifies the movement of disparate assets through a single, liquid cryptocurrency.
The variance between initial and updated loss figures likely stems from ongoing transfers or fluctuations in Ethereum’s market value during the incident window.
Triple-A’s Business Operations and Official Silence Triple-A delivers payment processing solutions enabling businesses to accept, exchange, and disburse funds through stablecoin rails and conventional banking channels. Its product suite encompasses point-of-sale integrations, enterprise payment systems, and international money transfers.
The firm maintains regulatory approval across multiple jurisdictions, including American, European, and Singaporean territories. It secured Major Payment Institution status from Singapore’s Monetary Authority and became part of Circle Payments Network during March 2026.
Triple-A has issued no official acknowledgment of the security incident. The company has not revealed how unauthorized access occurred, the timeline of suspicious activity, or whether client assets face exposure.
Fireblocks serves as Triple-A’s digital asset custody provider. Currently available information contains no indication that Fireblocks infrastructure suffered any compromise.
Attacker Identity Unknown, Customer Impact Unclear Security analysts have not publicly attributed the attack to any specific threat actor. No confirmed reports indicate whether the consolidated funds subsequently moved through cryptocurrency exchanges or privacy-enhancing mixing services.
Absent official disclosure or forensic analysis, this incident remains classified as a suspected hot wallet security failure rather than a verified smart contract vulnerability.
Triple-A has not announced whether it has paused deposit acceptance, withdrawal processing, or cross-blockchain transfer capabilities in response to the suspected breach.
This event occurs separately from a July 17 attack wherein an adversary generated fraudulent Solana deposit records targeting Across Protocol. That unrelated incident caused losses below $4 million after Across suspended Solana integration. No connection exists between the two security breaches.
Stakeholders await Triple-A’s official response addressing the verified loss amount, the attack vector employed, and whether the company intends to reimburse impacted users.
Arival Bank spouští platební a treasury služby v USDC pro všechny způsobilé klienty a USDT pro neamerické subjekty, s cílem zjednodušit přeshraniční platby hlavně v Latinské Americe. Konverzní poplatky začínají na 0,05 %.
Arival Bank announced the launch of stablecoin payment and treasury capabilities on July 3, 2026, with services expected to go live by mid-July. The offering supports USDC for all eligible clients and USDT for non-US entities, with conversion fees starting at just 0.05% for businesses moving into USD-denominated stablecoins.
What Arival is actually building Arival Bank operates as a recognized International Financial Entity under Puerto Rico’s regulatory framework, with full BSA/AML compliance, KYC/KYB protocols, and transaction monitoring systems.

The platform supports transactions across four blockchain networks: Base, Polygon, Solana, and Ethereum. The target market is global SMEs, startups, and digital-native businesses that need treasury management and cross-border payment tools.
Why Latin America is the real story here Arival’s announcement specifically calls out demand from international clients, with Latin America as a key focus. A USDC transfer on Solana settles in seconds, not days. At 0.05% conversion fees, Arival is undercutting what most traditional FX services charge by a wide margin.
The bank’s approach builds on its existing partnership with Circle Alliance, the program Circle runs to expand USDC adoption through financial institutions. By integrating stablecoin capabilities with existing USD and multi-currency accounts, Arival is creating something that looks less like a crypto product and more like an upgraded version of the banking tools businesses already use.
The competitive landscape The fee structure deserves attention. At 0.05% for stablecoin conversions, for a business processing $1 million in monthly cross-border payments, that’s $500 in conversion fees versus potentially thousands through traditional banking channels.

Leverage rozšířil spotové maržové obchodování na Solaně na více než 700 trhů včetně nových tokenů a tokenizovaných akcií. Každá pozice je kryta skutečným aktivem, ne syntetickým futures.
The Solana spot margin protocol now offers leverage and lending across 700+ live markets, spanning long-tail assets, tokenized stocks, and real-world assets. Every position is spot leverage on the real asset, not a synthetic future.
Lavarage, the spot margin protocol for any token on Solana, now runs across 700+ live markets and closes two gaps that perpetual futures cannot reach: brand-new tokens before any futures market exists, and tokenized real-world assets where ownership matters. The through-line: leverage what matters, own what you trade.
The update targets a widening gap in on-chain markets: the assets people want to trade are growing fast at both ends, Solana now mints tens of thousands of new tokens a day and processes more than 95% of all tokenized-equity trading, while leverage has stayed locked to a handful of liquid markets.
Gap one: new assets, before a futures market exists
Solana empowers seamless assets creation on-chain: from serious project tokens all the way to meme tokens — as many as 47,619 minted in a single day (June 2026, per CryptoRank). The biggest moves and opportunities come before any futures market forms. Lavarage can spin up a spot leverage market for a new asset immediately, using liquidity already on-chain, so traders can act while it matters.
Gap two: assets where ownership matters
The second gap is capital efficiency for assets worth owning, not just betting on — tokenized real-world assets that carry long-term ownership benefits. Tokenized stocks on Solana crossed $4.9 billion in volume in H1 2026 (Crypto Briefing), roughly six times the prior half-year. For these, spot leverage beats a perpetual: you get leverage on the asset while still owning the real token. So any ownership benefits stay with you, instead of holding a synthetic derivative of it.
Benefits for traders
Spot leverage, not synthetic futures. Every position is opened with the actual asset, which the trader has the option to own. Any token on Solana. 700+ tokens have live margin markets today, the majority of which have no perpetual futures market yet. Best-offer matching. Traders are automatically matched to the loan offer with the most favourable terms, and loans are continuous with much more stable funding cost. Isolated positions. Isolation means no platform-wise auto-deleveraging. Benefits for lenders
Lenders earn real yield as interest paid by traders who borrow to open long or short positions, yield generated directly by spot-leverage borrow demand, on any asset they lend. Every loan is over-collateralized and isolated. Lenders can participate actively, creating offers and setting their own terms, or passively, by staking into existing lending vaults, which have recently paid roughly 30% APY on SOL and roughly 14% on USDC as of July 2026, variable with utilization.
Founder comment
“Perpetual futures are great for a handful of highly liquid assets. But for a new token, the moment that matters most comes before any futures market exists. For real-world assets, owning the thing you trade is the whole point,” said Tgen, co-founder of Lavarage. “Those are the two gaps we close with spot leverage. Leverage what matters, own what you trade.”
Lavarage by the numbers (July 2026)
$200M+ in cumulative volume 10,000+ unique traders 80,000+ positions opened 5,000+ tokens traded with leverage $1M+ in fees paid out to integration partners Live on Solana mainnet since 2024 Margin trade any token on Solana → v2.lavarage.xyz
About Lavarage
Lavarage is a spot margin protocol on Solana that lets traders take leverage on any token — from day-one launches to tokenized real-world assets — while holding the real asset, not a synthetic derivative. Lenders supply the liquidity, actively by setting their own terms or passively by staking into vaults, and earn interest from borrow demand. Lavarage has processed $200M+ in volume across 700+ live markets and has been live on Solana mainnet since early 2024, built on audited code (Code4rena and Sec3). Learn more at lavarage.xyz.

Morgan Stanley získala souhlas k listingu a obchodování spotových ETF na Ethereum a Solanu na NYSE Arca pod tickery MSSE a MSOL. Oba fondy mají poplatek 0,14 %.
Morgan Stanley has gained approval to list and trade its Ethereum and Solana ETFs on NYSE Arca as the issuer submitted 8-A and other filings with the US SEC. The Wall Street giant could soon launch its spot Ethereum and Solana ETFs.
Morgan Stanley Ethereum ETF Gains Approval According to the latest SEC filing, Morgan Stanley has gained approval to list shares of its spot Ethereum ETF from NYSE Arca. The ETF will list and trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol MSSE.
Morgan Stanley has also filed 424B3, with no details on the fee waiver. The filing has become auto-effective pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, pending CERT filing for details on the trading date.
As CoinGape earlier reported, Morgan Stanley updated delegated sponsor, Coinbase Prime, Coinbase custodial and trade finance agreements. The latest amendment indicates the Morgan Stanley Ethereum ETF could become effective soon.
The spot Ethereum ETF will levy a sponsor fee of 0.14%. Also, it plans to stake 50-80% of holdings via providers such as Figment, Galaxy Blockchain, and Coinbase Canada. Notably, staking services providers and custodians are to receive only 5% of the staking rewards.
Morgan Stanley Investment Management, the delegated sponsor, said it will not receive or retain the remaining staking rewards, resulting in higher earnings for investors.
Moreover, The Bank of New York Mellon and Coinbase Custody will serve as custodians for the Morgan Stanley Ethereum ETF.
NYSE Arca Approves Wall Street Giant’s Solana ETF Listing Morgan Stanley also filed 8-A and 424B3 with the US SEC for its spot Solana ETF. NYSE Arca has also approved Morgan Stanley Solana ETF to list and trade under the ticker MSOL.
Notably, the approval comes as $10 trillion Morgan Stanley’s brokerage firm E*TRADE completed the rollout of spot Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana trading. Clients can buy, sell, and hold crypto in a linked Zerohash account.
Morgan Stanley Solana ETF will have a 0.14% management fee. Also, the issuer plans to stake up to 100% of SOL holdings through Figment, Galaxy Blockchain, and Coinbase Canada.
The staking rewards distribution mechanism for staking service providers, custodians, and investors is the same as in the Morgan Stanley Ethereum ETF. Cash custodians, crypto custodians, administrator, transfer agent, and marketing agent are similar to those of its Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF.
The MSBT holds over $391 million in total assets, with BTC holdings worth over $396 million. MSBT saw $5 million in inflows in the latest session, while spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $255.18 million in outflows.
While Morgan Stanley plans to capture passive yields internally for its ETF, retail investors looking for direct control over their assets can explore the best crypto staking platforms to earn competitive APYs on their Ethereum and Solana holdings.
Byreal, AI-native DEX na Solaně inkubovaný společností Bybit, překročil 4 miliardy USD v celkovém objemu obchodů. Po spuštění mainnetu na začátku října 2025 už dříve překonal 1 miliardu USD za 10 týdnů.
@Byreal_io, an AI-native decentralized exchange built on Solana and incubated by Bybit, has crossed the $4 billion mark in total trading volume, marking a significant milestone for one of the most distinctly positioned DEX platforms in the current DeFi cycle.
From Bybit's Incubator to a Billion-Dollar Venue Byreal is a decentralized exchange built on the Solana blockchain and incubated by Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange. The platform crossed $1 billion in cumulative trading volume just 10 weeks after its mainnet launch in early October 2025. The latest $4 billion figure represents a substantial acceleration from that early pace.
Byreal marked its first anniversary since launching on the Solana testnet on 30 June 2025, and over the past year has grown into a primary liquidity venue for tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and established itself as one of the first AI agent-native exchanges in DeFi. Through deep integration with Bybit Alpha, Byreal became the top Day 1 trading volume venue on Solana for multiple new tokens, including BP, MON, ARX, SKR, and BRIB, bridging centralized exchange liquidity with on-chain markets from launch day.
AI Agents as Full-Fledged On-Chain Traders Byreal brings together trading, liquidity provision, and yield generation into one unified on-chain platform, built from the ground up as an AI agent-native DEX that enables both human users and AI agents to trade, swap, and provide liquidity programmatically on Solana. This architecture is central to the platform's growth story. Rather than treating AI participation as an add-on, Byreal has made autonomous agent trading a core design principle.
Byreal uses a dual-execution engine that routes trades through both on-chain concentrated liquidity pools (CLMM) and an off-chain Request-for-Quote (RFQ) system, dynamically selecting the best execution path for tighter spreads, lower slippage, and MEV protection. Sub-200ms latency, powered by high-performance RPC infrastructure, supports institutional-grade execution speed. Solana's sub-second finality makes it a natural fit for the kind of high-frequency, multi-agent activity the platform is designed to support.
Over the past year, Byreal has expanded its product suite across three verticals on a single platform: Real Farmer, the first copy-farming product on Solana; Perps, offering up to 50x leverage trading for both equities and crypto; and Predict, an on-chain market for trading real-world outcomes.
In April 2026, Byreal announced the launch of Byreal Perps Agent Skills, extending its agent-native trading infrastructure to perpetual futures. Users can now trade perps through natural language commands via RealClaw, with no manual order entry, no separate interfaces, and no bridging required.

@Circle has minted another $250 million $USDC on the @Solana blockchain, marking its fourth major issuance event within a 48-hour window. The move pushed the total circulating supply of USDC to a record $72.01 billion, underscoring relentless institutional demand for on-chain dollar liquidity.
Rapid Minting Reflects Rising On-Chain Demand The speed of the minting cycle is notable. Four large issuances in under two days signals that Circle is responding in near real-time to demand from market makers, trading venues, and DeFi protocols operating on Solana. Traders use USDC as collateral, as a settlement asset, and as a quick way to move between volatile positions without leaving the chain. When more USDC is minted onto Solana, it usually points to demand for on-chain dollar liquidity, which can come from market makers, DeFi protocols, retail traders, or institutions routing activity through Solana-based venues.
Large stablecoin mints typically provide fresh liquidity that can be deployed across decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, automated market makers, and yield-generating applications. As newly minted USDC enters circulation, DeFi platforms can absorb the additional capital to facilitate larger trading volumes and improve market efficiency.
USDC Cements Its Role as a Core Settlement Layer The pace of issuance sits within a broader trend of USDC dominance in 2026. Adjusted stablecoin transaction volume hit a record $1.79 trillion in June 2026, with Circle's USDC capturing 67% of activity at $1.21 trillion. That momentum has been driven in part by regulatory clarity in the United States and growing institutional use of USDC for payments and settlement.
USDC supply surged 220% since late 2023 to approximately $78 billion, driven by institutional B2B settlement, payroll infrastructure, and programmatic payment rails built by Visa and Stripe. The repeated minting cycles on Solana reflect that growth and reinforce the stablecoin's position as a primary collateral layer for on-chain finance.
Blockchain analysts note that gross issuance does not represent the network's live circulating supply, since USDC can later be redeemed, burned, or bridged to other blockchains. Even so, the frequency and scale of Circle's recent mints point to sustained, real demand rather than a one-off capital event.

Raydium spustila Permissioned AMMs, které umožní regulovaným aktivům a projektům s KYC omezením obchodovat na Solaně s kontrolou přístupu. Prvním partnerem je Superstate s tokenizovanými akciemi.
Raydium, one of the top 10 most influential DeFi protocols according to Fortune, debuted Permissioned AMMs yesterday, July 23. Permissioned AMMs introduce a new framework that enables issuers of KYC-gated and regulated assets to launch directly on Raydium, accessing Solana’s deepest liquidity while maintaining compliant secondary markets. Superstate became the first partner to integrate the infrastructure, bringing tokenized equities into Raydium’s liquidity ecosystem.
The launch marks another step in the race to build infrastructure for regulated assets on public blockchains. As tokenized stocks, funds, and real-world assets gain attention, protocols are adapting traditional DeFi tools to meet compliance requirements.
Raydium Adds Compliance Controls to AMM Trading Traditional AMMs allow anyone with a wallet to provide liquidity or trade assets. That model works well for crypto-native tokens but creates challenges for regulated assets that require investor verification and transfer restrictions.
Raydium’s Permissioned AMMs add an access-control layer to its existing liquidity infrastructure. Instead of allowing any wallet to interact with a pool, the system verifies whether a wallet meets issuer-defined eligibility requirements before allowing trades.
The framework combines 3 core components:
Issuer-managed KYC, where asset issuers determine which participants qualify.
Programmatic enforcement, where smart contracts restrict pool interactions to approved wallets.
Immutable smart contracts, which provide transparent and verifiable execution.
Eligible investors can trade only with verified counterparties, while issuers maintain control over participant access.
Superstate Brings Tokenized Equities to Raydium Superstate became the first service partner to integrate Raydium’s Permissioned AMMs. The company operates Opening Bell, a platform designed to issue publicly registered tokenized equities directly on blockchains.
Unlike synthetic products that track stock prices without representing direct ownership, Superstate focuses on natively tokenized securities where the token represents the underlying security.
Superstate has developed infrastructure that tracks ownership changes across DeFi environments, including automated market makers and lending protocols. The company has also worked with protocols such as Uniswap, Orca, Aave, Morpho, and Kamino to support regulated asset activity onchain.
Through Raydium’s integration, approved investors can trade tokenized equities through Permissioned AMMs while Superstate manages ownership records and compliance requirements.
Raydium Joins a Broader Shift Toward Permissioned DeFi Raydium is not the only major DEX moving toward compliance-focused infrastructure.
On May 27, Orca launched permissioned pools on Solana in partnership with gold tokenization firm Streamex. Orca’s system uses Solana token extensions to enforce transfer restrictions and connect investor eligibility with onchain activity.
Uniswap Labs also announced Permissioned Pools yesterday, July 23. The feature introduces a hook standard for Uniswap v4 that allows pools to verify approved wallets directly through smart contracts rather than relying on frontend restrictions or offchain checks.
These launches highlight a broader industry trend: regulated assets require more than a place to trade. Issuers need infrastructure that combines blockchain transparency with controls required by securities markets.
Tokenized Assets Target a Trillion-Dollar Market The push toward compliant onchain markets comes as interest in tokenization continues to grow. In its Big Ideas 2026 report, Ark Invest estimated that the global market for tokenized assets could grow from $19 billion to $11 trillion by 2030, representing around 1.38% of all financial assets.
Solana has also seen rapid growth in its real-world asset ecosystem. The network recently became the blockchain with the highest number of RWA holders, reaching 311,000 holders, $3.5 billion in RWA value, and more than 2,500 types of tokenized assets.

Are the Trenches Back?: 62K Dormant Wallets Return as Memecoins Capture $2B in Volume
Solana ve 2. čtvrtletí vykázala 5,8 miliardy USD v tokenizovaných aktivech, což je o 114 % více mezikvartálně a nové maximum. Tokenizované akcie tvořily 84 % celkového objemu.
Looking at Solana’s key stats, the undervaluation narrative starts to gain more weight.
On the RWA front, Solana’s latest Q2 report showed $5.8 billion in Tokenized Asset Volume, up 114% QoQ and marking its sixth quarterly ATH.
The key takeaway?
Tokenized Equities alone accounted for 84% of total volume, making Solana a major hub for institutional RWA activity. But the momentum doesn’t stop there.
Source: X Digging deeper, Solana currently dominates tokenized stock trading, accounting for 96% of total volume, with xStocks driving over 80% of the activity. In this context, the latest xStocks expansion adds another layer to this growth story, moving beyond U.S. stocks to bring other global equities on-chain.
This broader access could further strengthen Solana’s position in the tokenized asset market.
Source: X In short, Solana’s [SOL] $5.8 billion Q2 RWA volume could be just the start of a bigger trend.
And it looks like investors are already positioning for this growth.
According to Dune data, dormant wallets returning to Solana DEXs jumped to 62k last week, up 400% week-over-week. This suggests that previously inactive users are coming back on-chain as new opportunities continue expanding across the ecosystem.
However, the bigger story behind Solana’s growth goes beyond its RWA market or DEX volume. The real impact is how this activity is translating into network adoption, with rising dormant activity being just one piece of the puzzle.
And the timing couldn’t be better, as SOL/ETH is approaching a key zone.
Solana’s on-chain strength meets a key SOL/ETH turning point The impact of Solana’s growing RWA and DEX momentum is now showing up across the network.
According to Chainspect data, Solana has generated more revenue than Ethereum for 23 consecutive days. With Solana bringing in around $515k compared to Ethereum’s $133k, the network generated roughly $382k more revenue, or nearly 3.9x Ethereum’s total.
And this isn’t just a short-term spike. Solana currently leads all blockchains in 24-hour DEX volume at $1.5 billion, ahead of Ethereum’s $1.29 billion.
Put together, Solana is showing a strong on-chain growth cycle, where rising DEX activity and RWA adoption are translating into higher network usage, liquidity, and revenue.
Source: TradingView (SOL/ETH) In this context, xStocks’ expansion adds another catalyst for Solana to continue building on this momentum.
From a technical perspective, the timing looks interesting.
As the chart above shows, the SOL/ETH ratio is approaching the 0.035-0.04 range, a zone that previously triggered a strong rally in May as capital rotated into Solana. With Solana’s on-chain strength improving against Ethereum and ETH facing resistance around the $2k level, the setup could favor further upside in the SOL/ETH ratio.
The key takeaway?
This rotation may be more than just a short-term technical move. With Solana’s on-chain growth continuing to accelerate, it could signal a broader divergence between SOL’s strength and ETH’s performance through the rest of Q3.
One of the world’s largest sovereign wealth-linked managers just put $75 million worth of private market exposure on a blockchain.
Mubadala Capital, the investment arm of Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company, went live on July 23, 2026 with a tokenized version of its Alternative Solutions Fund, officially named MCAS-TA. The fund runs across three blockchain networks: Coinbase’s Base, Solana, and Sui. It pulled in roughly $75 million in on-chain commitments at launch, drawing participation from both traditional asset managers and digital asset investors.
The infrastructure behind the product comes from KAIO, a UAE-based tokenization platform that announced its partnership with Mubadala Capital back in December 2025. KAIO handles the compliance architecture and distribution rails.
Why this matters beyond the press release Mubadala Capital manages approximately $430 billion in assets.

Private market funds have historically been among the least accessible asset classes for most investors. Minimum commitments run high, liquidity is near-zero, and the onboarding process involves significant friction. Tokenization compresses those barriers by putting compliance, ownership records, and transfer mechanics on-chain: instead of a fund administrator managing cap tables in spreadsheets, the blockchain handles it. Investor eligibility checks happen through smart contract logic. Secondary transfers become possible where they previously weren’t.
For Coinbase specifically, this launch marks the first time it has integrated regulated tokenized assets into an institutional treasury management context, according to the research.
KAIO’s growing footprint in regulated tokenization KAIO has previously powered tokenized offerings from BlackRock and Hamilton Lane, with cumulative TVL across those products landing somewhere between $150 million and $200 million. Adding the Mubadala Capital fund pushes that number meaningfully higher.
The firm also closed a funding round in April 2026, which included backing from Tether.
The multi-chain deployment across Base, Solana, and Sui is itself a deliberate choice. Each network brings a different investor base and different technical properties. Solana offers high throughput and a growing institutional presence. Base plugs directly into Coinbase’s compliance and custody ecosystem. Sui is newer but has attracted attention for its object-based data model, which handles complex financial instruments differently than account-based chains.
What this signals for institutional tokenization broadly Tokenized treasuries and money market funds moved first because the underlying assets are simple and liquid. Private market funds are a harder problem: the assets are illiquid, the investor base is accredited, and the regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction. The fact that Mubadala Capital is doing this with private market exposure rather than a simple bond wrapper is what makes the MCAS-TA launch notable.
Seventy-five million dollars in on-chain commitments at launch is the demand signal other sovereign-linked managers and large alternative asset firms will be watching as they evaluate the operational lift required to follow.

LayerZero, the omnichain messaging protocol that connects over 70 blockchains, has partnered with Keeta, a Layer-1 chain built for payments and fiat interoperability, to enable native cross-chain transfers of tokenized bank deposits. The integration spans Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Keeta’s own network.
What tokenized bank deposits actually are Think of a tokenized bank deposit as a digital twin of the dollars sitting in your checking account. Each token is backed 1:1 by an actual deposit at a regulated bank, retaining the protections and compliance features you’d expect from traditional banking. The difference is that these tokens can move on-chain, 24/7, across multiple networks.
This matters because stablecoins, for all their growth, exist in a regulatory gray zone that makes traditional financial institutions nervous. Tokenized deposits, by contrast, are designed to sit squarely within existing banking frameworks. They’re regulated. They’re backed. And they potentially carry the same federal insurance protections as the deposits behind them.

The distinction is subtle but significant. Stablecoins like USDC are liabilities of the issuer (Circle, in that case). Tokenized deposits remain liabilities of the bank itself. For institutional players and regulators, that’s a meaningful difference in risk profile.
How LayerZero and Keeta make it work LayerZero’s role here is straightforward but critical. Its messaging protocol allows these tokenized deposits to move natively between chains rather than relying on wrapped assets or centralized bridges. The protocol is currently live on Solana’s mainnet beta and connects with Ethereum, Base, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and BNB Chain, among others.
Native transfers matter because wrapped tokens introduce counterparty risk. Every time you wrap an asset to bridge it, you’re trusting the bridge operator to actually hold the underlying token. LayerZero’s approach lets the asset move without that intermediary step, which is a big deal when the asset in question is supposed to represent insured bank deposits.
Keeta brings the payments infrastructure to the table. The Layer-1 blockchain claims to support millions of transactions per second with sub-second settlement times. Keeta’s native token is KTA, while LayerZero operates with its ZRO utility and governance token.
Why this partnership matters for the broader market Investors should pay attention to the competitive dynamics here. JPMorgan has been experimenting with tokenized deposits through its Onyx platform. Citigroup has run pilots.
No specific transaction volumes or total value locked figures are available for the partnership yet, which means the market is pricing this on potential rather than proven traction.
One risk worth flagging: the success of tokenized deposits depends heavily on banks actually participating. LayerZero and Keeta can build the pipes, but someone has to turn on the water. The partnership creates the technical capability for cross-chain deposit transfers, but adoption will ultimately be driven by whether regulated financial institutions see enough demand and enough regulatory clarity to commit.
For traders watching the ZRO and KTA tokens, the near-term catalyst is clear. Every new institutional partnership or bank integration announcement will likely move these assets. Given that global bank deposits measure in the tens of trillions, even capturing a fraction of that flow would be transformative for any protocol involved.

BancaStato ve spolupráci se Sygnum nabízí klientům v e-banking aplikacích nákup, prodej a držení BTC, ETH, LTC a SOL. Jde o první banku na platformě Avaloq SaaS, která to nabízí přes API Sygnum.
BancaStato Opens Crypto Trading Through Sygnum PartnershipBancaStato, the cantonal bank serving Switzerland's Italian-speaking Ticino region, has joined Sygnum's business-to-business (B2B) banking platform to offer crypto asset services. The integration allows BancaStato customers to buy, sell, and hold four crypto assets, including $BTC, $ETH, $LTC, and $SOL, through the bank's existing web and mobile banking apps.
Market orders can be entered by asset quantity or cash value, allowing customers to manage crypto positions alongside their traditional portfolios. BancaStato clients gain exposure to these assets through a regulated channel rather than a standalone exchange, and their holdings rest in Sygnum's custody rather than on the bank's own balance sheet.
A Streamlined Technical SetupThe integration connects Sygnum's API directly to Avaloq's platform, allowing customers to access crypto trading from their existing banking app. The setup also removes the need for a separate order management system, which the companies said reduces operational complexity and makes it easier to add new features.
According to Fritz Jost, Sygnum's chief B2B officer, BancaStato is the first bank using Avaloq's software-as-a-service platform to let customers buy, hold, and sell crypto assets through its e-banking platforms using Sygnum's API.
BancaStato joins more than 25 financial institutions using Sygnum's B2B platform to offer regulated digital asset services. Sygnum said its partner banks give more than a third of the Swiss population a route to own digital assets. The move also fits a broader trend among Swiss lenders. Zürcher Kantonalbank, the country's fourth-largest bank, has rolled out Bitcoin trading and custody, while St. Galler Kantonalbank opened Bitcoin buying and custody to retail clients.
Sygnum holds a Swiss banking license and, since June 30, 2026, a Crypto-Asset Service Provider license under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, granted by Liechtenstein's Financial Market Authority.

Flash Trade potvrdil exploit na Solaně, při kterém bylo z platformy neoprávněně odčerpáno 98 000 USDC. Tým uvedl, že všichni uživatelé byli plně odškodněni.
Flash Trade, a decentralized perpetual trading platform operating on the Solana network, experienced an exploit resulting in the unauthorized withdrawal of $98,000 in USDC. The incident took place on July 22 at 00:21 SGT and was linked to a validation flaw in the MagicBlock software development kit (SDK) used by the platform.
MagicBlock SDK flaw triggers unauthorized withdrawalThe exploit was traced to a vulnerability within the #[ephemeral] Anchor macro in the MagicBlock SDK, which handles callback processes for integrator smart contracts during undelegation requests. The flaw allowed an attacker to bypass undelegation checks by submitting a fabricated account designed to mimic a genuine user deposit.
Within a single transaction, the attacker’s account was used as the buffer for a sibling undelegation instruction. While the system correctly verified that the buffer was a signer owned by the delegation program, it failed to check that the buffer’s seeds matched the correct program-derived address. This oversight provided an opening for the exploit and resulted in the unauthorized withdrawal.
MagicBlock responded by reviewing other integrations that used the affected macro and notifying impacted projects. A patched version of the SDK, 0.16.2, now addresses the missing validation and is being recommended for immediate adoption by all integrators.
Mini dictionary: MagicBlock is a blockchain infrastructure company specializing in software tools and SDKs that enable fast and secure smart contract integration on Solana and other networks.
On July 22 at 00:21 SGT, Flash experienced an attack that resulted in a 98,000 USDC withdrawal from the platform. Flash’s batching and monitoring systems surfaced the activity immediately, and the team paused deposits and withdrawals within minutes.
According to statements from MagicBlock, the company has already worked with affected ecosystem participants to prevent similar incidents and is encouraging early upgrades to the patched SDK version.
Flash Trade reported that its new monitoring and batching systems flagged the unauthorized withdrawal within minutes, allowing the team to react quickly. All trading, deposits, and withdrawals were immediately paused as a precaution while the incident was investigated in coordination with MagicBlock.
Normal trading functions resumed within a few hours, but deposits and withdrawals remained offline for approximately 24 hours during a reconciliation process aimed at confirming all platform balances and ensuring user fund integrity. The team emphasized that this suspension was intentional to guarantee a full and accurate reconciliation.
Flash Trade and MagicBlock have jointly contributed to a reimbursement fund covering the entire affected amount, ensuring that users bear no losses resulting from the exploit.
Both Flash Trade and MagicBlock affirmed that they would fully cover the unauthorized withdrawals, guaranteeing that no user funds would be lost. The prompt response and full reimbursement have drawn praise from the broader Solana community.
Industry reaction and security recommendationsArmani Ferrante, CEO of Backpack, an established digital asset wallet provider, commented publicly on the incident. Ferrante identified the exploit as an example of system design weaknesses in margin trading platforms, suggesting the need for a structural overhaul. He recommended implementing an isolated, formally verified custody contract combined with a 24-hour withdrawal timelock to provide platforms with more time to halt suspicious transactions in the event of a compromise.
Such mechanisms, Ferrante argued, would help contain damage from attacks affecting oracle systems, wallet compromises, and margin manipulation. He recognized Flash Trade’s rapid response, noting the importance of proactive security measures in reducing potential losses.
MagicBlock, following the incident, has pledged ongoing collaboration with blockchain integrators, auditors, and independent security researchers to improve the resilience of their SDK offerings and support the wider ecosystem in mitigating such vulnerabilities moving forward.

Key Takeaways The $5.83 million net inflow into Solana ETFs appears to suggest a renewed interest in the Solana market, driven primarily by the BSOL fund. This inflow marks the largest daily increase in 14 days, indicating a potential shift in participant sentiment. The total AUM of U.S. Solana ETFs remains robust, reflecting consistent engagement despite previous flat inflow periods. What to Watch Market participants will be closely monitoring whether this inflow pattern continues, as sustained interest could impact Solana’s price trajectory. Key factors to watch include further ETF inflow data, potential regulatory developments, and innovations within the Solana ecosystem that could drive demand. Observers will also be attentive to any announcements from key figures like Anatoly Yakovenko or developments related to Solana-based financial products approved by regulatory bodies. These elements could be consistent with scenarios where Solana’s price increases, potentially reaching or surpassing the $90 mark in July.

Solana týdně překonává objem spotových DEX obchodů na NYSE American a naposledy dosáhla 10,29 miliardy USD. MetaMask zároveň nově uhradí poplatky za gas za swapy nad 200 USD na Solaně.
Solana has solidified its position as the leading blockchain for decentralized exchange (DEX) activity, outpacing not only other blockchains but also some established centralized exchanges. Recent spikes in both DEX volumes and user participation have been driven by active trading on platforms like Meteora and PumpSwap.
Currently, Solana accounts for approximately 20% of all spot DEX trading volume. While activity is still below the levels seen during the 2021 bull market surge, the network maintains a steady baseline and continues to attract new interest.
Solana DEXs have now surpassed the likes of Bybit, as the top five chains engage in fierce competition to secure higher token volumes—including the growing segment of tokenized security trading.
An important factor behind Solana’s steady growth is the sustained influx of stablecoins from both major and smaller issuers. Over the past day, $300 million in new USDC liquidity has been injected into the network, enhancing liquidity and trading activity.
Chain/ExchangeWeekly DEX Spot VolumeSolana$10.29 billionEthereum$6.7 billionBNB Chain$5.8 billionNYSE American$6 billionThe combination of increased meme token offerings and a push into tokenized securities continues to set Solana apart from competing chains.
MetaMask, a widely used multi-chain crypto wallet, has introduced a new incentive for users engaging in swaps on Solana. The wallet will now pay gas fees for all swaps greater than $200, lowering the barrier for retail traders who may not hold SOL tokens.
“SOL-less? we gotchu covered. MetaMask will now pay the gas fee for you on Solana swaps over $200,” MetaMask stated in its latest announcement.
This update comes as retail participation on Solana remains strong, with failed transaction rates hovering around 23%. Retail-friendly tools like Jupiter’s routing services and swap solutions integrated in the Phantom wallet are further facilitating user access to spot trading.
Solana currently offers predictable and competitive average DEX trading fees at $0.19, making it more appealing for newcomers, especially when compared to established networks such as Ethereum and BNB Chain.
Solana overtakes traditional exchange volumesWhile the overall activity on Solana remains lower than traditional fiat-based markets, its presence is increasingly significant in the digital asset space. Solana’s weekly spot DEX volumes have consistently surpassed those of the NYSE American in 2026 to date, with decentralized trading on Solana reaching $10.29 billion last week.
The ongoing increase in trading is largely fueled by PumpSwap tokens and the fast-expanding market for tokenized equities.
Tokenized assets on Solana have risen to $5.77 billion in the second quarter of 2026, marking a 114% increase compared to the previous quarter. Tokenized equities make up 84% of these real-world assets, extending their growth streak to six consecutive quarters.
For the first time, tokenized asset trading has overtaken meme tokens as the primary use case for Solana as of June 23. This shift points towards Solana’s growing appeal among institutional traders and large holders seeking robust settlement layers.
These tokenized equities are also adding significant value to the lending sector on Solana, with a weekly collateral record of $51.9 million—$31 million on Kamino and $20 million on Jupiter’s lending platform.
Mini dictionary: MetaMask is a non-custodial crypto wallet widely used for managing assets and executing swaps across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum and now Solana.
Compared to competitor chains, Solana has become more accessible to newcomers, combining fast transaction speeds with low, predictable fees and a vibrant mix of retail and institutional activity.

Melee Markets se blíží mainnetu na Solaně a představuje PMM model pro permissionless tvorbu prediction markets. V simulacích na 126 trzích „15 Minute BTC Up-or-Down“ přinesl vyšší zisk v 65,1 % vítězných pozic.
Melee Markets, an emerging Solana prediction market application, has revealed the mechanics behind its Parimutuel Market Maker model.
Designed to enable permissionless prediction market creation, Melee’s PMM architecture represents an ambitious departure from the order book model made popular by heavyweights like Polymarket and Kalshi.
With Melee approaching its mainnet launch, prediction markets sit at a critical inflection point as traders eagerly await the next landmark event following the Football World Cup.
The Parimutuel Market Maker After raising $3.5M in last year’s September pre-seed, Melee Markets is closer than ever to its mainnet launch, bringing permissionless prediction markets to Solana DeFi. Originally touted as “pump.fun meets PolyMarket”, Melee Markets has published further details on its novel design, the Parimutuel Market Maker.
Unlike existing prediction markets, which rely on orderbooks and professional market makers, Melee claims its PMM pools enable permissionless market creation and profitable passive liquidity provision.
In the simplest terms, Melee’s PMM is a passive liquidity pool that, similar to rival prediction markets, resolves to one of several mutually exclusive outcomes. Market participants can join presales to obtain pool shares and provide initial liquidity, with resolution share prices changing dynamically based on trading activity.
Open positions continuously grow based on counterparty liquidity rewards and on spread captured by an instant cashout vault, creating what Melee Markets calls a rising minimum-return floor.
According to simulated tests on 126 ‘15 Minute BTC Up-or-Down’ markets, Melee’s PMM model returned higher profits in 65.1% of winning positions when compared against traditional market structures. Melee attributes this edge to counterparty rewards, highlighting that heightened volatility resulted in greater outcomes for participants.
Prediction Markets Seek Continuation Following World Cup Melee Market’s drive towards mainnet launch comes in the wake of one of the biggest events in the prediction market calendar. According to Artemis Data, the 2026 FIFA World Cup drove trading volumes on venues like Kalshi to new all-time highs. In the tournament’s first week, prediction markets collectively witnessed over $17B in trading volume.
With the great speculative event behind us, prediction markets may face a quieter period over the coming weeks and months until the US midterm elections. Onchain data suggests prediction market trading on Solana may be slowing down, with World.xyz spot volumes dropping after recording all-time highs during the World Cup Final.
Between onchain venues like World.xyz, and creative new mechanisms like Melee Market’s PMM, Solana DeFi is one step closer to challenging the dominance of established platforms and joining the race in one of crypto’s biggest verticals.
