Mass Adoption? Maybe Solana.
Before diving into the main discussion, hereโs a brief summary: Iโll be sharing thoughts on stablecoins, on-chain stocks, payments, Solana Mobile, and the concept of โFirst America,โ and then concluding with my overall opinion on Solana.
1. Stablecoins
a. The weakening of USDT
While the total issuance of stablecoins has surged over the past few years, USDTโs market dominance has been steadily declining. It currently sits around 59%, with USDC at approximately 25%. Outside of these two, USDe has rapidly grown to around 5%.
Personally, Iโve been increasingly feeling the shift toward using USDC in on-chain transactions.
b. USDC and the GENIUS LAW
According to the GENIUS LAW, stablecoin issuers must thoroughly audit and transparently disclose their reserve assets. Monthly disclosures are the standard, and Circle, having gone public on the Nasdaq, is now seen as a regulatory-friendly entity, gaining increased trust.
Many large funds have opted for USDC. Even in the retail space, platforms like Coinbase, Binance, Hyperliquid, and Lighter are actively adopting USDC pairs.
c. Solana processes 50% of all USDC transfers, with a year-over-year growth of approximately +440%.
In comparison: ETH Mainnet +80%, Base +150%, Arbitrum +100%.
2. On-Chain Stocks
a. Financialization of Crypto
Thereโs a growing movement to enable the trading of U.S. stocks on the blockchain. No one is against this idea โ everyone wants it. I believe this will lead to even greater growth for existing crypto exchanges. Through platforms like Trump Meme Coins and Walifi, the U.S. seems to be testing the reliability of trading these assets.
I believe both ETH L2s and Solana can support this, but as of now, Solana appears to be ahead.
b. What you trade matters
Crypto is no longer seen as a fringe space. However, when tokens from projects that don't need a token get listed, existing users feel disillusioned โ and thereโs no better way to explain these tokens to newcomers than calling them scams.
The next stage in the financialization of crypto will be platforms where both crypto and stocks can be traded together.
The recent rapid growth of Puffdex is likely due to its flexibility compared to CEXs and the resulting explosive increase in valuation based on future potential.
If bonds are successfully brought on-chain, that would be truly revolutionary.
3. Payments
a. Stablecoins are being integrated into traditional payment infrastructure
As seen in examples like Kast + Visa, crypto cards are expected to grow rapidly โ not just in the U.S., but especially among retail users in countries where holding local currency is difficult.
Considering even Koreans are wary of holding KRW, itโs difficult to imagine Bitcoin or gold being used directly for payments. Thus, the demand for dollar-based payments will likely increase.
b. Stablecoin demand from global corporations
According to Fireblocks, 49% of global companies are already using stablecoins for payments. Only 10% have not yet made a decision regarding stablecoin use.
Stablecoins will soon expand into companies like Amazon, Walmart, PayPal, and the broader financial infrastructure.
4. Solana Mobile
a. Entry into the mobile industry
The mobile industry has high barriers to entry, but if a new competitor were to emerge or if there's a chance to capture even a small share of the market, I believe the way forward is to create blockchain-friendly devices like Solana Mobile.
We use iPhones and Galaxies, but many people in other countries canโt afford even budget smartphones. Yet theyโre not buying daily essentials at cheaper prices.
Once again, it's worth emphasizing that Solana handles 50% of all USDC transfers.
5. First America
a. Circle
I see USDC as a direct challenger to USDT, born out of traditional finance. Itโs successfully listed on Nasdaq and has been eating into market share. Iโve been predicting and writing about USDCโs growth over the past few years.
At this point, itโs worth betting that USDC may eventually stand equal to USDT.
b. Solana
While it may be limiting to define Solana strictly as an โAmerican company,โ its headquarters is in the U.S., and I believe U.S. capital has heavily invested in SOL tokens via venture capital.
In the crypto scene, VC-led projects are often highly respected. But rather than praising VCs, I think itโs the capital backers who are really making moves.
With the approval of a SOL ETF possibly around the corner, itโs only natural that traditional finance prefers fast, proven chains.
c. By America, For America
Currently, the crypto users making money are, in a way, riding the coattails of America and Trump. But eventually, the dominant players in this market will be companies that benefit the U.S.
I call this โUSfit.โ
Compared to ETH or BNB, Solana feels much more like a USfit project.
Conclusion:
Considering all of the above, I believe SOL is relatively undervalued compared to other coins.
The overall market may slump, pulling everything down with it, but I hope that such an opportunity โ the kind that can change your life โ comes around again.
As crypto matures, not only will it grow 100x, but the market structure of the entire industry will begin to change.
Old opportunities will die. New opportunities will emerge. The future is clear, but being patient enough to build for that future is difficult--especially when the party is raging and everyone is seemingly getting rich.
People have been telling me for the past 3 years that what @Backpack is doing is too slow. That we should just cut corners and get licensed later. That growth at all costs is what matters. That it's too late.
We've lost out a lot in the short term because of it.
We've never cared,
Because market share is not winning.
If you want to actually build something in crypto to stand the test of time, you need to be either fully compliant or censorship resistant.
Building regulated companies is super hard. Building fully decentralized protocols is super hard. Incredible companies and protocols will be built in both paths, but there's no in between.
You must do the work. You must solve the hard problems. And you must do it over a painfully long period of time.
Others will tell you you're wrong, but it's precisely in that conflict where you will find outlier success.
Binance will be fine. It will remain the defining international crypto exchange, but as entire market transforms, I couldn't be more optimistic about the future.
Have a vision. Stick to it. Listen to feedback, of course, but in the end, it's your job to be right when others are wrong.
There's never been a better time to be building in this industry.
Binance not being able to secure a license in the EU, even with all the capital and power they have, speaks volumes.
The endless scams and extractions are finally catching up to them.
Could this end up being one of the biggest catalysts DEXs have ever had?

Micron reports earnings on Wednesday after the closing bell. The results will be a major test of the AI memory boom, with $MU tradable 24/7 on Solana as markets react.
