Insight: Solana Gears Up for 2026 With RWA Momentum, Institutionalization Trend Heats Up

2026.01.02 13:21:05

On January 2nd, Solana reported record real-world asset (RWA) tokenization activity heading into 2026, building on momentum from late 2025. December data shows Solana’s on-chain RWA value grew nearly 10% month-over-month to a new high of $873 million, while the number of RWA holders rose 18.4% to 126,000. Solana’s RWA ecosystem is currently dominated by U.S. Treasury-like assets: BlackRock’s $255 million BUIDL Fund and Ondo’s $176 million USD Yield Product lead the pack. Tokenized stocks (Tesla, NVIDIA) and institutional funds are also ramping up on the chain. The network is on track to become the third public blockchain to top $1 billion in RWA value, trailing only Ethereum (≈$12.3 billion) and BNB Chain (over $2 billion). Bitwise recently noted that passage of the U.S. CLARITY Act (a crypto market structure bill) in 2026 could supercharge the tokenization wave—with Solana poised to be a top beneficiary. Though SOL has pulled back from its all-time high, a spot Solana ETF has launched with ~$765 million in inflows. Separately, Western Union is building a stablecoin settlement platform on Solana, set to launch in H1 2026, boosting its institutional adoption outlook.

Morgan Stanley: U.S. stock market pullback is nearing its end, and it may be building momentum for a year-end rebound.

Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson said the S&P 500 correction may be nearing its end, with U.S. stocks likely positioning for a year-end rally. The U.S. benchmark index is approaching its downside target range of 7,100 to 7,300 points and is expected to rebound from this zone, Wilson noted. "Instead of waiting for a perfect bottom, we recommend increasing exposure to high-quality cyclical stocks in the coming weeks, as these stocks have seen their valuations adjust significantly while delivering strong earnings per share performance," Wilson wrote.

Zama’s spin-off project Raycash has launched on Ethereum mainnet, providing privacy-focused stablecoin payment and yield features.

Stablecoin payments startup Raycash, spun off from privacy protocol Zama, has launched on the Ethereum mainnet and is currently in private beta. Raycash states that over 75,000 people joined its waitlist ahead of the launch; access will be rolled out in batches during private testing, with full public access to follow. Built on the Zama protocol, Raycash uses fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to encrypt on-chain balances and transaction amounts. Users can wrap stablecoins 1:1 into tokens compliant with the ERC-7984 confidential token standard for payments and receipts, and earn yields via Morpho, with transaction amounts and balances kept private. The underlying stablecoins can be retrieved via permissionless unwrapping. The app initially supports USDC, allowing deposits via bank transfers, debit cards or stablecoins, and withdrawals to bank accounts. Ethereum gas fees are handled by the platform in the background, so users do not need to hold ETH. Raycash adds that its wallet is non-custodial; confidential tokens have no built-in freeze or seizure functionality at the token level, and users can grant view permissions to specific parties like accountants or auditors. Additionally, a Raycard for privacy-focused spending is in development.
