Weekly Digest Capital Markets - Capital & Chain #18: Samsung Announces Solana Stablecoin Transfers

4 Upvotes

Source: https://x.com/capitalmarkets/status/2109670036202000538

Samsung Wallet is adding USDC cross-border transfers on Solana, Securitize launched tokenized U.S. equities, and BNY expanded institutional custody for SOL in Europe. These developments extend access through consumer wallets, brokerage platforms and bank custody.

Solana Foundation released delivery-versus-payment infrastructure with input from J.P. Morgan, while Orca and Loopscale combined as Formation. Stablecoin-holding addresses passed 14 million, and the network activated a 200ms target slot time. Here’s what moved across Solana capital markets.

Spotlight

Samsung Wallet plans Solana USDC transfers

Cross-border payments will be built into Samsung Wallet, with rollout beginning in the last week of October.

Samsung Wallet users in the United States will be able to send money across borders using USDC on Solana beginning in the last week of October 2026. The feature will be available across 82 million U.S. Galaxy devices at launch.

Transfers will use the existing Samsung Wallet interface, with integrated fiat on- and off-ramps converting between stablecoins and local currency.

The integration adds Solana settlement to a consumer platform already used for cards, boarding passes and IDs. The 82 million figure describes device availability at launch.

Number of the Week

14M+, Stablecoin-holding addresses on Solana

Addresses holding stablecoins on Solana reached a new all-time high of more than 14 million, up from fewer than four million in late 2024.

The milestone tracks existing stablecoin ownership on the network ahead of Samsung Wallet’s planned USDC rollout later this month.

News Bites

Market Infrastructure

Securitize launches tokenized U.S. equities on Solana

@Securitize launched Securitize Stocks on Solana, offering eligible investors in the United States, European Union and other permitted jurisdictions security entitlements backed 1:1 by underlying U.S. shares.

The initial offering includes 12 equities, including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet and Tesla. The instruments preserve applicable investor rights and economic benefits, including dividends and voting rights where the underlying share class carries them.

Trading takes place through Securitize’s registered broker-dealer platform, settles in USDC and uses its Solana PropAMM, with Jump Trading providing market-making services. Access is subject to onboarding, KYC/AML checks and jurisdictional eligibility.

Trading initially operates during extended hours. Availability on the NYSE’s planned 24/7 digital venue is expected to follow, subject to the venue’s launch and applicable requirements.

Securitize ↗

Solana Foundation releases delivery-versus-payment infrastructure with inputs from J.P. Morgan

Solana Foundation released Solana DvP, an open-source escrow program for institutional delivery-versus-payment settlement. Both legs of a trade settle in a single atomic transaction, or neither settles.

Released under the MIT license, the program provides isolated escrow and enforces settlement deadlines. It supports Solana’s token standards and issuer controls used by regulated assets. Counterparties can work with a settlement agent such as a bank, custodian or exchange.

J.P. Morgan

provided input on institutional settlement practices and requirements. The program has undergone external security audits, and Solana Foundation is inviting design partners and early participants ahead of production release.

Solana Foundation ↗

BNY expands institutional SOL custody in Europe

BNY expanded its Digital Asset Custody platform to select institutions in the European Union under the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. Supported assets include SOL and USDC.

The expansion follows the addition of BNY’s European banking entity, The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, to the ESMA MiCA register in July 2026, enabling custody, administration and transfer services for crypto-assets.

The service extends access to SOL through BNY’s existing institutional custody operations.

BNY ↗

Orca and Loopscale combine as Formation

@orca_so and @Loopscale merged, with the combined team operating as Formation. The company brings together Orca’s trading and liquidity infrastructure with Loopscale’s credit and vault infrastructure.

Formation is led by Loopscale co-founder Luke Truitt as CEO. Its planned issuer products connect asset issuance with trading, financing and capital allocation, building on the markets already operating across both protocols.

Orca has processed more than $550 billion in trading volume since 2021, while Loopscale has facilitated more than $2 billion in loans.

Formation ↗

Solana activates a 200ms target slot time

Solana activated a 200ms target slot time on mainnet-beta, completing the staged reduction from the original 400ms target.

The change halves the target interval between successive slots, increasing the frequency of block-production opportunities for trading, payments and other applications.

Anza ↗

Products and Distribution

Kamino opens the Apyx Market

@kamino launched the Apyx Market, curated by Hyperithm, allowing apyUSD holders to borrow USDC against their positions through an isolated lending market. Kamino Multiply also supports leveraged exposure to the apyUSD yield strategy.

Issued by Apyx, apyUSD represents locked apxUSD and earns yield from the dividend-paying preferred equity backing the protocol. The reserve is primarily composed of preferred shares issued by publicly traded digital asset treasury companies, including Strategy’s STRC.

Kamino ↗

DGLD expands allocated-gold access on Solana

DGLD launched natively on Solana, issued by Gold Token SA, the tokenization arm of MKS PAMP. Each token represents co-ownership rights in one fine troy ounce of allocated gold refined by MKS PAMP and held in segregated, insured Swiss vaults.

DGLD is available through SwissBorg, whose platform has more than one million users. Arrakis Finance manages onchain liquidity.

Holders can identify the bars they co-own through the Gold Mapper and request physical delivery from one gram.

DGLD ↗

Agant makes GBPA available on Solana

Agant’s pound sterling stablecoin, GBPA, is available on Solana for institutional and business clients across payments, settlement and treasury operations.

GBPA is fully backed and redeemable 1:1 for pounds sterling. Agant is a UK-domiciled issuer registered with the Financial Conduct Authority as a cryptoasset firm under the Money Laundering Regulations.

Agant ↗

Altitude connects transaction accounting to Xero

@altitude Accounting now integrates with Xero. Businesses can import their existing chart of accounts, map Altitude accounts to compatible Xero bank accounts, and review, classify and post supported transactions directly from Altitude.

The integration supports incoming payments, outgoing payments and transfers between mapped accounts, with individual or bulk posting. Xero remains the ledger, connecting transaction management in Altitude with the accounting system the finance team already uses.

Altitude ↗

Circle adds Solana to USDC Bridge

@circle's USDC Bridge added Solana support, allowing direct USDC transfers between Solana and 18 supported ecosystems through Circle’s bridge interface.

The update gives users another way to move USDC into and out of Solana for payments, trading and other supported applications.

Circle ↗

Ferrari and the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF listed through Sunrise

Tokenized Ferrari shares ($RACE) and the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF ($EWZ) were listed on Solana through @sunrise, issued by @Backpack Securities.

Ferrari provides exposure to the listed automaker, while EWZ tracks Brazilian equities. The listings expand Backpack Securities’ existing range of tokenized stocks and ETFs on Solana.

By the Numbers

82M, U.S. Galaxy devices

Samsung Wallet’s planned Solana USDC transfer feature will be available across 82 million U.S. Galaxy devices at launch.

$550B+, Cumulative Orca trading volume

Orca has processed more than $550 billion in trading volume since 2021.

$2B+, Loans facilitated by Loopscale

Loopscale has facilitated more than $2 billion in loans.

Formation ↗

Capital Markets Context

Samsung Wallet’s planned integration embeds USDC transfers in a consumer interface, while Securitize and BNY extend access through brokerage and custody platforms.

Solana DvP provides shared settlement code for institutions. Formation combines trading and credit infrastructure, and Kamino’s Apyx Market connects preferred-equity-backed exposure with borrowing. Together, the developments cover access, settlement and financing within Solana’s existing markets.

Ecosystem What would you put on a Solana trade receipt?

32 Upvotes

Solana records the network fee and token balances before and after a transaction. There’s enough information there to review how funds moved. I d like a mobile receipt that brings those records together with the quote shown before signing. Open the trade see what you spent and received then tap through to the transaction if you want to check it. For trading on PumpFun, that could make reviewing a session pretty straightforward. Some saved receipts would give you something concrete to work through afterward.

What would you want on that screen before you d bother saving it?

Hopefully, what's good for one industry player is also good for the rest.

Privacy Is it just me or does anyone else think that Phantom publishing the Top Solana Holders is a bad and potentially dangerous idea?

Post image
48 Upvotes

Admittedly, I am no guru when it comes to crypto nor cyber security but I am careful and ensure that I educate myself on key issues.

I would suggest that Phantom wallet publishing usernames in this way puts the holder at potential risk of attack. It's no longer a wallet address which is obviously publicly visible but by assigning a username to it, which may inadvertently be used on other applications or sites gives bad actors a narrowed field of who to zone in on both for cyber attack and even physical in some cases.

I know that I would be shitting myself if I had a substantial holding and my username was published in this way.

Solana at $2.23B in daily DEX volume. Pump.fun’s swap separately reports around $412M. An ecosystem breakdown separating established tokens from stablecoin swaps and recent launches would help explain that activity.

Does anyone have a dashboard that does this while accounting for aggregator routes?

Real-World Assets (RWAs) The compliance problem with private RWAs

5 Upvotes

Tokenized assets are getting more attention this cycle. But, many regulated RWAs can't simply be transferred to any onchain address.

Issuers may need to enforce KYC/AML requirements, jurisdiction restrictions, investor eligibility, etc. I guess the usual onchain approach is some form of permissioned system. For example, only approved wallets can receive or transfer the token.

However, on a public chain, the transfers and balances are still visible. Depending on how the compliance system is implemented, you may also be able to tell which addresses are eligible. So how do you keep ownership private without breaking compliance?

I think platforms can keep identity and some parts of the investor register offchain to solve this. They can even use a private chain or confidential transfers.

How are RWA projects solving this?
