  • Solana ended Q1 2026 with US$1.23 billion in real-world asset lending deposits, up 115% quarter over quarter.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Stablecoin transfer volume on Solana reached US$2.1 trillion in Q1, while tokenised asset DEX volume hit US$1.3 billion.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • BlackRock, Visa, Citi and major payment firms expanded Solana-linked products or workflows across tokenised funds, settlement and trade finance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Solana (SOL) has strengthened its position in institutional tokenisation and payments in Q1 2026, with real-world asset lending (RWAs), stablecoin settlement and tokenised trading activity rising even as broader crypto trading cooled.<\/p>\n

    According to a report by Messari, Solana captured 41% of onchain spot trading volume during the quarter, ahead of Ethereum and its layer-2 networks combined. Likewise, total Solana DEX spot volume was US$284.5 billion (AU$395.5 billion), down about 18% from the previous quarter and about 50% from Q1 2025\u2019s memecoin-driven peak, but the mix of activity shifted toward stablecoins and tokenised assets.<\/p>\n

    Moreover, Solana DEXs processed US$1.3 billion (AU$1.81 billion) in tokenised asset volume in Q1, up 164% quarter over quarter and a new all-time high.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Stablecoin transfer volume reached US$2.1 trillion (AU$2.92 trillion), up about 60% both quarter over quarter and year over year, excluding flash loans and other inorganic volume.<\/p>\n

    RWAs Drive Lending<\/h2>\n

    Real-world assets became the clearest institutional growth line for Solana, ending Q1 with US$1.23 billion (AU$1.71 billion) in RWA lending deposits, up 115% quarter over quarter and above Ethereum\u2019s US$1.13 billion (AU$1.57 billion), according to the report.<\/p>\n

    Solana Foundation\u2019s March roundup said total RWA value on the network crossed US$2 billion (AU$2.78 billion), while RWA holders reached 182,000 by the end of the month. The foundation also said Solana RWA lending deposits reached US$1.2 billion (AU$1.67 billion) and the network settled roughly 94% of all-time onchain tokenised equity spot volume by late March.<\/p>\n

    The product base is expanding beyond crypto-native lending. xStocks accounted for 41.5% of Q1 tokenised asset volume, offering tokenised public equities through a Swiss tracker certificate structure, while PreStocks ranked second with 35.8% of volume through pre-IPO exposure.<\/p>\n
