Solana’s stablecoin mix is shifting quickly, with on-chain data showing non-USDC and non-USDT tokens up by more than 10x since January 2025. The strategic takeaway is diversification, as Solana’s payments layer is no longer a single-issuer dependency story. At publication, Solana’s stablecoin market cap was $14.227 billion, up 3.47% over the past seven days. USDC still dominates the overall stablecoin market at 57.43%, followed by USDT at about 17.74%, while the rest is increasingly supplied by alternative tokens that are expanding Solana’s rails.
Token share data illustrates how fast alternatives moved from the margins into the core of Solana liquidity. Non-USDC and non-USDT stablecoins have risen from roughly 3% a year ago to about 25% of Solana’s total stablecoin supply. Within that set, USD1 represents around 6.77%, with USDG and PYUSD at 5.92% and 5.84%, respectively.
The base is also growing: Solana stablecoin supply is up more than 75% since January 2025, a move attributed to DeFi demand and faster, cheaper transactions. Earlier data cited a December peak of $16.2 billion, underscoring how quickly supply can reprice materially.
Diversification is not only about more issuers, it is also about more currencies and more app-native units. Solana is increasingly behaving like a multi-currency settlement layer as non-dollar stablecoins and in-app units proliferate. The network hosts deployments such as the Swiss franc VCHF and the euro EURC, alongside dollar tokens.
On the application side, Phantom launched CASH and Jupiter launched jupUSD, signaling that major products see stablecoins as a built-in capability rather than just an external plug-in. The broader issuer set is also positioned as improving resilience relative to a scenario where a single issuer could pose a risk.
Macro institutions are watching stablecoin momentum through both innovation and risk-management lenses. The IMF warned that stablecoin growth is fueled by links to mainstream finance and could disrupt capital flows and accelerate currency substitution. It said stablecoins are primarily used to trade native crypto assets that are later settled in traditional currencies, while also enabling faster and cheaper cross-border payments and remittances.
The fund noted stablecoins are about 7% of the overall crypto market. It also cited that USDC and USDT tripled since 2023, reaching a combined $260 billion in 2024 with $23 trillion in trading volume.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
