StraitX is planning to launch a Singapore Dollar-backed stablecoin on Solana in early 2026.

On December 16, StraitX—a cryptocurrency infrastructure firm—announced plans to launch two stablecoins on the Solana public blockchain in early 2026: XSGD (tethered to the Singapore Dollar) and XUSD (tethered to the U.S. Dollar). The company will collaborate with the Solana Foundation to promote the rollout. At launch, users will be able to instantly convert SGD and USD directly on Solana’s chain—functioning as “on-chain forex trading.” This marks Solana’s first integration of a Singapore Dollar stablecoin. Currently, the network hosts roughly $15.7 billion in stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. Dollar and Australian Dollar, but SGD was not previously supported. StraitX noted that XSGD and XUSD will operate on Solana’s high-speed, low-cost environment, catering to use cases including AI automated payments, DeFi applications, cross-border settlements, and everyday transactions. The stablecoins will also be compatible with centralized exchanges (CEXs), automated

Solana: Suffered DDoS Attacks Throughout the Past Week, But Did Not Impact Network Performance

On December 16, Solana issued an official statement noting that over the past week, the network has been targeted by continuous DDoS attacks—the fourth largest such incident in the history of any distributed system to date. So far, these attacks have had no impact on Solana’s network performance. Solana’s design goal is to be resilient enough to withstand even such extreme scenarios. BlockBeats Note: A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack occurs when an attacker controls a large number of devices to simultaneously send massive volumes of requests to a target system, aiming to exhaust its network bandwidth or computing resources—resulting in system congestion, service disruptions, or performance degradation.

Key initiatives include: establishing a Solana Economic Zone, launching the Tenge stablecoin, enabling dual-listed IPOs on the AIX and Solana, training 1,000 Solana developers, creating a national crypto asset reserve, and planning a blockchain-centric "CryptoCity." These efforts underscore the country’s commitment to deeply integrating blockchain into its financial and industrial systems.

JPMorgan Digital Asset Head: Innovative ideas emerging in the Solana ecosystem will eventually crystallize into a mature solution suitable for the regulated market

On December 13, J.P. Morgan’s Scott Lucas—Managing Director and Head of Digital Asset Markets—spoke at the Solana Breakpoint Conference, emphasizing the community’s innovation, spirit of exploration, and the value of engaging with cutting-edge ideas. Lucas noted: “This community is brimming with amazing innovations and a deep spirit of exploration. When you combine those two, you start to see where business opportunities originate—and how they tie into the core of economic growth. That’s part of the bigger story. So the key, I think, is to truly engage: weave that entrepreneurial spirit and innovation into exploring opportunities. Not every innovation fits neatly into regulated markets, and that’s perfectly normal. Some target retail users, others focus on niche spaces—but there are always key insights here that deserve deep engagement and learning. Even if some ideas are temporarily outside our current business scope, drawing inspiration from these sparks and advancing the con

Figure has submitted an application to the SEC to tokenize stocks on Solana.

December 12th — At the Solana Breakpoint Conference, Figure’s Executive Chairman Mike Cagney announced: “Roughly a week and a half back, we rolled out another update—essentially a second IPO. We’re issuing a new iteration of Figure equity natively on a public blockchain.” “This issuance skips the DTCC, won’t trade on Nasdaq or the NYSE, doesn’t rely on referral brokers like Robinhood, and won’t use prime brokerage services from firms like Goldman Sachs.” “This is a blockchain-native security, listed on Figure’s proprietary Alternative Trading System (ATS)—essentially a decentralized platform for self-custody, self-trading, and a self-regulated market.” “Investors can link these securities to an ATS wallet (instead of a traditional referral brokerage account) and use the equity in DeFi for activities like collateralized borrowing and lending.”

Bulk Origin: Solana is Currently the Most Suited Ecosystem to Build on

December 12th — Jun, Co-Founder of Solana ecosystem DEX Bulk, spoke at the Solana Breakpoint Conference: “As a liquidity provider, when we traded across spot and perpetual markets on various platforms, we quickly recognized Solana is currently the best ecosystem to build on. It’s not just home to an exceptional team, but also boasts the highest net asset inflows, most diverse community, and robust product lineup. However, it has long lacked a truly professional trading experience, and the problem ultimately boils down to three key areas: latency, a robust risk engine, and user experience. We’re here to solve that problem.”

Backpack Founder: Solana is currently the only network capable of achieving large-scale decentralized execution

On December 12, Backpack founder Armani Ferrante told attendees at the Solana Breakpoint conference that Solana is currently the only network capable of decentralized execution at scale. Over the past few years, developers have explored a vast design space to solve scalability issues. Back in 2017 and 2018, hundreds of projects raised billions—even tens of billions—of dollars in funding. But as far as he knows, Solana is the only one that has truly delivered on this at scale.

HumidiFi Developer: Solana is Completely Reshaping Retail Finance, HumidiFi Spread 'Better Than' Binance

**December 12** At the Solana Breakpoint Conference, Ben—a core member of HumidiFi, a dark pool decentralized exchange (DEX)—stated: “On the path to global transformation, Solana has achieved near-zero-cost, high-throughput settlement with tens of thousands of transactions per second. Anyone worldwide can access it via a new seat-based permission and membership system, entering a fully open, permissionless, Wall Street-grade, programmable global market.” He added that HumidiFi, the DEX his team recently built, offers tighter bid/ask spreads than Binance, with an average execution price delta of just a few basis points. “What’s key to note: this system is completely reshaping retail finance. Retail investors now get better spreads than any traditional brokerage—averaging down to a few basis points.” “Currently, this system accounts for 60% of all on-chain trading volume,” Ben said. “And we’re just getting started.”

Solana Co-Founder: Recent Revenue Surpasses $100 Million, Majority of Startups Built on Solana, Ecosystem Expansion Accelerates

On December 12th, Solana co-founder Raj Gokal told attendees at the Solana Breakpoint Conference: “Among the 20 companies that recently hit $100 million in revenue, most operate in the crypto sector—and the majority of those firms are built on Solana. That’s always been our original goal.” To reach this milestone, I believe it takes the “entropy” from thousands of entrepreneurs—those constantly exploring every possible value proposition in the blockchain ecosystem. And Solana, I’d argue, now has that kind of ecosystem momentum: events like the “Colosseum” hackathons keep scaling, drawing over 1,700 teams per edition.

Solana Co-Founder Toly: No Longer Has Official GitHub Commit Access, Network Moves Towards True Decentralization

**December 12 Update** — Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko told attendees at the Solana Breakpoint conference: “One of my favorite truths is this: Decentralization doesn’t mean ‘no leaders’—it means leaders emerge abundantly. Over the past five years, so many people have stepped up: foundation members, Labs teams, community contributors, app and protocol builders unaffiliated with the original organizations. They’ve truly taken on leadership of the entire network.” He added: “I don’t even have GitHub commit access anymore, and my stage speaking slot was just two minutes. My goal is to sit in the audience—because that means the network has truly matured and has a life of its own. I’m really proud of that.”

Solana Breakpoint 2026 Summit will be held in London, UK

Official sources confirmed December 12 that Solana Breakpoint 2026 will make its debut at London, UK’s Olympia Exhibition Center from November 15–17, 2026. The Solana team has already rolled out 24-hour-only ticket subsidies for its 2026 flagship event. ### Notes on U.S. language habits: - Used **active voice** ("confirmed" instead of "according to") for news brevity. - Replaced "held for the first time" with **"make its debut"** (common for event launches). - Condensed "available for only 24 hours" to **"24-hour-only"** (concise, headline-friendly phrasing). - Avoided redundant "Solana" repetition (used "its" for the flagship event). - Streamlined date/location structure (natural for U.S. news flow).

Solana will be the first public blockchain to host USDGO, with plans to expand to additional blockchains down the line. Rather than just “another stablecoin,” USDGO is positioned as a compliant stablecoin payment infrastructure built specifically for enterprise and institutional use cases.

Bitwise Ventures: Solana Ecosystem Applications Truly Harnessing the Network's Final 1% Performance

On December 11, Bitwise co-founder and CIO said at the Solana Breakpoint Conference that unlike networks like Ethereum, Solana-based apps actually tap the final 1% of performance—delivering users the next marginal liquidity and scalability. On most blockchains, running a node is as simple as “download the software, double-click to start”—and how much (or little) you stake barely moves the needle for the network or the apps users can build. But Solana’s app landscape shifts daily: its protocol layer, performance, and capacity all iterate rapidly, and node performance directly sets the ceiling. That’s why we’re focused on this: as this product (staking ETFs/trusts) locks up more SOL and gains more influence, the ecosystem, developers, users, and even the broader community need to feel that its growth won’t “crush” the market structure or ecosystem—instead, it’ll make the network more stable, reliable, and better able to weather the next wave of innovation.

dYdX is launching a Solana spot trading product

December 11th, decentralized derivatives platform dYdX has officially launched its first spot trading product—kicking off with the Solana (SOL) trading pair—and opened access to U.S. users on its platform for the first time. While U.S. users still can’t use perpetual contracts, the official statement noted the team will keep monitoring regulatory developments from the SEC and CFTC for further review. (The Block)

Blockworks is partnering with Solana to launch an Investor Relations Platform

December 11 — Blockworks announced a partnership with Solana to launch Lightspeed IR, an investor relations (IR) platform built for professional investors and token issuers.

Solana Co-Founder: Stablecoins are the clear focus right now, and Solana aims to compete for as much market share as possible

**Solana Co-Founder Anatoly Yakovenko (Toly) Addresses Breakpoint Conference** On December 11, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko (known as Toly) told attendees at the Solana Breakpoint Conference that growth hinges on building products people actually need. Stablecoins are the current clear priority, he noted—with an expected $1 to $10 trillion in stablecoins moving on-chain, powering the tokenization and on-chain shift of roughly $500 trillion in global assets. Toly added that public blockchains and cryptography (which deliver strong property rights protection) don’t clash with free-market capitalism or Wall Street logic—they complement them. By using software to cut out flaws and risks, these tools can expand Wall Street’s financial scale faster. He emphasized stablecoins are focused on growth, not replacing the U.S. dollar. Layer 1 (L1) networks, especially proof-of-stake (PoS) ones, have clear value capture mechanisms, he said. Solana’s goal? Grab as much market share

Instead, it’s built by 15 contributors, each laying and controlling their own fiber optic lines.

Circle CEO: Solana Infrastructure Maturing, More Platforms Adopting USDC on Solana as Primary Infrastructure

On December 11, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire told attendees at the Solana Breakpoint Conference that Solana’s transaction volume dwarfs that of all other blockchains.

Sky's Ecosystem Capital Allocation Platform Keel Launches $5 Billion Investment Program on Solana

December 11 — CoinDesk reports that Keel, an on-chain capital allocation platform built for the Solana Sky ecosystem, has launched a $500 million investment initiative called the “Tokenization Regatta.” The program will attract asset tokenizers via a competitive process: selected projects will receive direct funding and support to issue risk-weighted assets (RWAs) — including debt, credit, and funds — on Solana. More than 40 institutions have already signaled interest in participating. The first application phase opens Thursday, with two pathways: one for issuers planning to deploy by early 2026, and another for those still building infrastructure. Keel is an independent organization within the Sky ecosystem (formerly MakerDAO), backed by Sky’s $6 billion decentralized stablecoin USDS. Its mission is to invest in income-generating assets and return proceeds to Sky and USDS token holders.

At the Solana Breakpoint Conference on December 11th, Max Resnick—Chief Economist of Anza, Solana’s research and development arm—stated: "We hit 100,000 TPS in May. Not on a testnet, not in a whitepaper, but on the mainnet. Market structure is also evolving in real time: proprietary market makers are narrowing spreads, SOL-USD trading volume is now three times that of Binance, and fierce competition is ramping up. The order book is tightening and deepening daily."

Galaxy DeFi Lead: Solana is the only blockchain capable of supporting tokenized securities

At the Solana Breakpoint Conference on December 11, Galaxy DeFi CEO Marcantonio told attendees: “Galaxy Digital is a Nasdaq-listed firm with publicly traded stock—but we chose to tokenize our own stock on Solana because we believe Solana is the only blockchain with the speed and efficiency needed to support tokenized securities.” He added: “Our ultimate goal is for Solana to take an absolute lead—so that when you compare an asset’s price on Solana versus Nasdaq, people will choose to buy on Solana.”

Jito News: Solana is winning the speed race, with the network's block computation limit set to soar to 100 million compute units early next year

On December 11, Jito co-founder and CEO Buffalu told attendees at the Solana Breakpoint Conference that Solana is clearly winning the speed race. “Over the past few years, we’ve seen a 6x jump in transactions per second (TPS)—thanks to the collective work of all Solana ecosystem engineers and top-tier app developers,” he noted. Pointing to the chart on the right, he added that Solana’s block space has grown steadily over time. Earlier this year, the network’s per-block compute limit was around 48 million compute units (CU); it later rose to 50 million, then 60 million. “We’re expecting it to skyrocket to 100 million CU early next year and keep growing exponentially,” he said.

Kyle Samani Explains Solana ACE: Enabling Developers to Specify Custom Ordering Rules

On December 11, Multicoin co-founder and Forward Industries (FORD) board chair Kyle Samani said during the Solana Breakpoint conference that ACE (Application-Controlled Execution) will let developers set custom ordering rules—all while operating on a single global system with a unified liquidity pool. As part of Solana’s “Internet Capital Market” roadmap for July 2025, ACE gives smart contracts millisecond-level control over transaction ordering. It merges traditional financial microstructure with blockchain scalability to cut down on fragmentation in DeFi.

Galaxy Founder: Solana Still Seen as a Blockchain Network 'Built for Capital Markets'

On December 11th, Galaxy Digital Founder and CEO Mike Novogratz spoke at the Solana Breakpoint Conference, noting: As regulations grow clearer, the industry has entered a phase where building products users actually use is a must. Crypto asset value is now driven by both community and real-world growth, and narratives need to be backed by real usage and innovation. Solana—known for its high performance—is viewed as a chain “built for capital markets,” while Galaxy’s partnership with Jump stems from the latter’s high-frequency infrastructure capabilities. This year’s crypto market has been volatile, but I’m still optimistic. Just this year, one of Galaxy’s clients completed a $9 billion Bitcoin sale—allowing early investors to lock in some profits and diversify their portfolios. Meanwhile, a steady flow of new investors keeps buying Bitcoin. Over the past few days, I’ve been at a conference in Abu Dhabi, which has only reinforced my bullish outlook. Abu Dhabi FinTech Week broug

Lily Liu: SOL Spot ETF Sees Nearly $1 Billion in Net Inflows Against the Trend in 6 Weeks, DAT Inc. to Serve as Bridge Connecting Solana and Public Markets

**December 11, 2025** Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, spoke at the Solana Breakpoint 2025 Conference, outlining key updates for the blockchain platform: Solana is the first blockchain to launch a policy research institute. As every institution now needs a digital asset strategy to enter the blockchain space, many have chosen Solana—including Western Union (processing over $600 billion in annual remittances) and Pfizer (handling $2 trillion in annual merchant payments). Other organizations have followed suit. ETFs have been a major theme this year. Six weeks ago, physically backed Solana staking ETFs launched in the Solana ecosystem. In just six weeks, their assets under management (AUM) have neared $1 billion—even amid weak overall market performance, the funds have seen three straight weeks of net inflows. Six such ETFs have listed in the U.S. alone. Another key (and somewhat controversial) theme is DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). While many view DA

Slippage and routing are automatically managed by the backend. Allen added that Coinbase is actively expanding native support for Solana. Going forward, users will see Solana assets directly in the app—allowing millions of Coinbase users to access them without a token listing process, even when liquidity is sufficient.
