Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon—Solana's stablecoins have grown by $903 million within 24 hours. At first glance, it's just a number, but digging deeper, there's actually quite a lot behind it.



Let's start with the current situation. As of early 2026, the total supply of stablecoins on Solana has reached $16 billion. What does this mean? It indicates an average annual growth rate of up to 170%. In the blockchain track, this growth rate is indeed the fastest.

Why is Solana able to capitalize on this wave of benefits? First, we must acknowledge that its technology has real advantages. Its consensus mechanism combination (PoH+PoS) allows it to process over 50,000 transactions per second, with peak TPS reaching 5,289 in actual tests. What's the most critical point? Transaction fees are only $0.001. For stablecoin applications, this is incredibly attractive.

Even more impressive, the network is continuously upgrading. The 2025 Firedancer client will push the theoretical TPS to over 1 million. The Alpenglow upgrade reduces final confirmation time to 150 milliseconds. What does this mean? It means high-frequency payments, institutional clearing, and other speed-sensitive applications now have a chance. Western Union's decision to issue the USDPT stablecoin on Solana is essentially a recognition of this network's potential to handle their $150 billion annual remittance volume.

Stability is also not bragging. With network optimization of block space and the anti-MEV tool BAM, its resilience is solid. In July 2025, Pump.fun completed a $500 million ICO on this chain within 12 minutes, while some centralized exchanges experienced API failures and suffered setbacks. This contrast reveals a lot.

From an ecosystem perspective, Solana's stablecoins are no longer just a trading medium. They are evolving into a core component of financial infrastructure. This transformation is not accidental but driven by both network performance and ecosystem development. As application scenarios become more diverse, this growth momentum should continue.

Sol is really gaining momentum this time, with a stablecoin scale of 16 billion not a joke --- $0.001 fee, truly outrageous... How do other public chains compete --- 150 milliseconds confirmation? Wow, this is truly practical level --- What does it mean that Western Union is here? Major institutions are starting to take it seriously --- Pump.fun 500 million in 12 minutes, centralized exchanges are still malfunctioning, so ironic haha --- 170% annual growth rate... This growth curve is really exponentially crazy --- Firedancer reaching 1 million TPS? I don't believe it but I'm also full of anticipation, what to do --- Honestly, it's a bit foolish to still be on the sidelines at this point --- The judgment that stablecoins are the core infrastructure still makes sense --- Breaking through remittance scenarios, it feels like Web3 finance is about to truly land

SOL's recent surge is really impressive, but I'm more concerned about the sustainability behind these numbers.

SOL is really impressive this time. The $0.001 gas fee directly outperforms other chains, no wonder stablecoins are flooding in crazily.

Solana's recent surge is truly solid, with a 170% growth rate that no one in the entire blockchain space can match.

SOL is indeed impressive, but can the 170% growth rate be sustained? I have my doubts.
