The Solana ecosystem's stablecoins are thriving. According to the latest data, the total on-chain stablecoin market capitalization has surpassed $15 billion, reaching a new all-time high, more than doubling from $7 billion at the end of 2024. In the past 24 hours, an additional $900 million has been added. Among them, USDC accounts for the largest share, with a scale of about $9.2 billion, representing 65%.

What is even more remarkable is the signs of a recovery in the overall ecosystem. The total market value of assets on the Solana chain has reached $75 billion, a week-over-week increase of 14.1%. Community enthusiasm remains high, with the total market size of commemorative coins surpassing $44 billion, and the star project Bonk has surged by as much as 50% in the past 7 days. On-chain DeFi activity is also impressive, with total value locked (TVL) increasing by 12.5% week-over-week.

It is worth noting that international remittance giant Western Union has announced plans to launch its own stablecoin product in the first half of 2026, which will further expand the application scenarios of high-efficiency public chains like Solana in cross-border payments.

The SOL ecosystem is really taking off this time, with a stablecoin market cap of 15 billion not to be taken lightly. Bonk surged 50% in a crazy rally? Why didn't I get in? That's awesome. Is Western Union launching a stablecoin? Web3 payments are really about to go mainstream. TVL increased by 12.5%, DeFi is still active, unlike some ecosystems that are lagging behind. Doubled in size, no wonder SOL has been so aggressive lately.

SOL is really taking off this time, with stablecoins doubling in growth—no joke. Bonk up 50%? Why didn't I get in? Damn. Western Union has entered the stablecoin space; maybe cross-border payments are about to get interesting. 150 billion in stablecoins... If I hadn't seen this data, I wouldn't have realized how hot the SOL ecosystem is. DeFi activity is also increasing; it can only mean that the ecosystem is gradually regaining its sanity. USDC holding the majority makes sense, after all, trust is there. Wait, will Western Union really choose SOL, or is this just another empty promise?

Sol is really about to take off. The 15 billion stablecoin has doubled and is still rising. This pace feels off. Bonk's 50% increase is truly impressive. Is it a bit late to follow the trend? Is Western Union launching a stablecoin? This could really ignite the payment scene. TVL is all increasing. It really feels like we're about to recover. Wait, could these numbers be exaggerated? Don't let it be another illusion of prosperity. DeFi activity has increased by 12.5%. Now that's a real revival. The 15 billion has broken a new high. Why do I feel like I haven't kept up with the rhythm?

SOL has really taken off this time, Bonk's 50% surge made me regret not adding more Is Western Union about to launch a stablecoin? That’s really interesting, traditional finance is starting to get serious too The stablecoin market cap doubled to 15 billion, now that’s true ecosystem prosperity USDC accounts for 65%, the level of dominance is quite intense TVL increased by 12.5%, DeFi is truly becoming more active I just want to know if Western Union’s stablecoin launch will crash SOL’s price Even meme coins like Bonk can surge 50%, it’s damn crazy Doubling growth looks satisfying, but we need to be cautious of bubbles

The SOL ecosystem has really taken off this time, with 15 billion stablecoins doubling directly, and the return of players is very obvious. Bonk's 50% increase is a bit crazy; this is more like what a memecoin should look like. Western Union is also here, indicating that major institutions are starting to seriously look at this path. Is cross-border payments really about to take off? The recent rebound of Solana feels different in rhythm. TVL has increased by 12.5%, and the old ecosystem is indeed becoming more active. We need to seize this wave.

The Sol ecosystem is really taking off this time, doubling in size with $900 million entering daily. This is what you call hype. Bonk's 50% increase—can't hold it in anymore. Western Union is entering the market. Whether it will last until 2026 depends on the market conditions. $15 billion stablecoins, with USDC dominating as expected. How long will this round of recovery last? Or is it just another frenzy before the next wave of profit-taking? A 14.1% weekly growth sounds impressive, but whether it will last is another story. A 12.5% increase in TVL—what does that mean? Let's see if it actually gets used. Money is definitely flowing, but who is really benefiting from it...
