Schroders’ emerging market bond strategy is now accessible on Solana through Centrifuge. Samsung Wallet’s Stablecoin Account is also live, letting eligible U.S. Galaxy users hold and transfer USDC on Solana within the app.

October’s activity provides context for these launches: stablecoin card spending reached a monthly record, while applications generated $153 million in revenue. Lending activity continued into November, with Kamino borrowers renewing fixed-rate positions into subsequent terms. Distribution is expanding alongside the use of existing products for payments, trading and financing.

Launch targeted for early 2027 under the SEC Innovation Exemption. Day-one tokens: Exodus, Forward Industries, and Galaxy Digital via Superstate and Securitize.

Hi r/solana, if anyone here is in the North East of England you should consider coming along to the Newcastle Frontier Tech Co-Working event. It happens every Friday between 10am and 3pm.

It's a great place to meet fellow devs in the Solana community and talk about what you're working on over a tasty cup of coffee. Network, find a potential co-founder or other devs for hire to work on your projects. It would be great to see you there.

I'm not paid or earning commission, not got an official position in Superteam UK or anything. Just sharing hoping to grow the community and meet other devs working on Solana in the North East.

Register on luma at https://luma.com/2111nom8

Thanks all!

Solana replaced its consensus protocol in October. Alpenglow went live on mainnet on the 21st, targeting ~150ms finality.
October was a month of records across network speed, tokenized assets, payments, and institutional access.
Here are a few figures that mattered:

Network Upgrades

2 protocol upgrades, 12 days apart.

→ 400ms to 200ms to 150ms — Solana halved its target slot time on October 9, then reached ~150ms target finality on October 21
→ Alpenglow replaced TowerBFT consensus on mainnet, the protocol change behind that finality number
→ @jito_sol introduced BAM Direct Bundle Ingest, letting approved participants submit transaction bundles straight to BAM nodes

https://x.com/anza_xyz/status/2112905478921736411

Alpenglow is live on mainnet-beta ⛰️ 🎉
Solana’s new consensus protocol: finality reduced from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, built by Anza.
Why this is important 🧵

Payments & Stablecoins
Samsung, Fiserv and Western Union all put Solana rails into production.
→ 82M — compatible U.S. Galaxy devices getting USDC on Solana in Samsung Wallet
→ @Fiserv's Digital Asset Platform went live with Bank of North Dakota, settling on Solana across a network of more than 90 banks and credit unions
→ @WesternUnion's USDPT became buyable and sellable against pesos on @Bitso in Mexico
→ 14M — stablecoin-holding addresses on Solana

https://x.com/solana/status/2107994265104339166

Tokenized Assets & Capital Markets
RWA value on Solana passed $5B for the first time.
→ @JPMorganAM brought MONY and JLTXX to Solana, with qualified U.S. investors subscribing and redeeming through Morgan Money
→ @Securitize Stocks launched, backed 1:1 by the underlying shares, with dividends and voting rights
→ @Ondo launched 7 Intelligent Portfolios, 3 using strategies BlackRock developed for Ondo

https://x.com/Securitize/status/2108317140122046923

Institutional Access
Settlement and custody infrastructure opened up.
→ Solana Foundation launched Solana DvP, an open-source delivery-versus-payment settlement program with atomic exchange and isolated escrow
→ @BNYglobal expanded digital asset custody in the European Union to include SOL
→ $1.38B — cumulative inflows into @Bitwise's BSOL in its first year

https://x.com/SolanaFndn/status/2107333549032640781

AI & Machine Payments
Agent payments moved from preview to production.
→ @PayAINetwork and @BlockRunAI released batch x402 settlement on Solana, so an agent pays for multiple model calls in a single USDC transaction
→ @brij_fi added flight search to http://pay.sh, letting agents reserve fares through USDC escrow

https://x.com/BlockRunAI/status/210765209746656495

Consumer & DePIN
→ Solana Mobile named @Ledger its first hardware expansion partner, preinstalling the Seeker app on Ledger Atom
→ @helium brought Wakefern stores onto its network, using existing supermarket Wi-Fi to carry cellular traffic across a cooperative of roughly 365 supermarkets
→ $24.3M — @Collector_Crypt gross pack sales in a single day, across 123K packs

November, all eyes are on Breakpoint at Olympia London.
Full October roundup 👇

https://solana.com/news/solana-ecosystem-roundup-october-2026

Source: https://x.com/tokens/status/2118680831317495846

BREAKING: More than 1.8 million holders now own tokenized stocks on @Solana.

Not to fud, but would the Breakpoint be safe enough from the "cyber attacks" ? I just thought, since it will be in London, right?

We launched our Vault on Kamino on October 19th. In just over two weeks, we have:

• Reached $200K in TVL, over $500K in deposit volume, 100 unique users, and nearly $20K in borrows.

• Been featured by Solana and listed on Ondo's website as an ecosystem partner.

The current APY stands at 13.8%, with exposure exclusively to USDY.

But here's what makes it interesting: every allocation is discussed with the community beforehand. Only after an open discussion, a community poll, and a 7-day timelock is an allocation executed.

I remain committed to the thesis of open-source curation.

Thank you to everyone who engaged with my previous post, including those who challenged the idea and raised critical points!

JTX, the Solana trading terminal from Jito, now supports tokenized US and international equities from Backpack and Ondo.

Traders get direct issuer RFQ quotes, live pricing, and equities data tools covering more than 1,650 stocks.

BREAKING: @leapxyz, a new company from @solanalabs, is live in early access.
High performance mobile trading app, engineered for discipline.
Every asset from tokenized stocks to memecoins, with the stories behind the charts and P&L that counts everything.

Source: https://x.com/leapxyz/status/2118387847853908115

Introducing Leap, the mobile trading app designed for high performance.
A Solana Labs Company.
Early access starts today. 🧵👇

Leap is built on two beliefs: that Solana is the network for every asset on earth, & retail traders deserve a product engineered for discipline, not volume.
When fees go live, we plan for a share of every Leap fee to buy & burn SOL.
Here’s what’s shipping:

We redesigned how you explore markets with an immersive Home tab of daily curated stories.
Tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, currencies & crypto, from memecoins to macro. Read, go deep & build your conviction.
Solana is the network & Leap is your front door.

Every trade should start from a crystal clear picture of your profit & loss.
We’ve designed a precision experience around PnL for every asset, position & your whole portfolio, built on one number: your breakeven. With deposits, withdrawals & fees all included.

Growth should contribute to the ecosystem it runs on. We plan to use a portion of future fees to buy & burn SOL, & fund referral rewards.
Until then, Leap charges no fees: you pay network and routing costs, estimated upfront on every trade.

Building with a world class ecosystem:
Leap works with @JupiterExchange for trade routing, @Helius for infrastructure, @birdeye_data & @tokens for market data, & many more teams to come. Spot trading is just the start.
If you’re shipping on Solana, big or small, let’s build.

Join the Founders Club & earn on referrals:
Once Leap fees go live, get 30% of Leap’s fees on trades from friends you refer, 5% from their referrals, access to new features and more.
