SBI Holdings' B2C2 Designates Solana as Primary Network for Institutional Stablecoin Settlement

2026.04.01 17:05:53

April 1st (The Block) — Cryptocurrency liquidity provider B2C2 has designated Solana as its core network for stablecoin settlement with institutional clients, routing and settling large-scale stablecoin trades primarily via the blockchain. The firm will support stablecoins including USDC, USDT, PYUSD, USDG, USD1, EURC, and FDUSD on Solana. Founded in 2015, B2C2 is a pure institutional liquidity provider whose clients include Standard Chartered Bank, Anchorage Digital, and Bitget. Robinhood previously disclosed in SEC filings that B2C2 is one of its two main crypto market makers. Solana’s position in the stablecoin sector continues to strengthen: its stablecoin trading volume hit $650 billion in February this year, doubling the prior monthly record; its stablecoin market cap roughly doubled in 2025, rising from ~$5 billion to ~$15 billion. Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Western Union, and Worldpay have all integrated Solana. However, Solana’s stablecoin market cap still lags far behind Ethereum and Tron, with its ratio to Ethereum’s cap at roughly 9.3%. B2C2 was acquired by Japan’s SBI Holdings in 2020.

June 5: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a statement, with Division of Trading and Markets Director Jamie Selway delivering remarks at the Piper Sandler Global Exchange & Fintech Conference to outline the agency’s regulatory priorities during Chairman Paul Atkins’ tenure.

Serenity Counters Hedge Fund's SIVE FUD: Opponent Deliberately Ignores Visible Growth Prospects

June 5: Serenity pushed back against Swedish hedge fund Protean Funds’ "CPO Application Fabrication" thesis on SIVE, noting that GlobalFoundries has just designated SIVE as a reference laser—and since CPO (coherent package optics) is not yet widely commercialized, current revenues fail to reflect future growth prospects. From H2 2026 to 2028, SIVE-linked CPO Total Addressable Market (TAM) is projected to surge from near-zero to $91 billion, totaling $141 billion over the period. Companies including Jabil have entered the pluggable market, exposing short-term bears to inflection point risks.
