Odaily Planet Daily reports that in February, the on-chain stablecoin trading volume on Solana reached $650 billion, setting a new record high and the highest among all blockchains for the month, more than doubling compared to October of last year. According to a research report by Grayscale Investments (data from Allium), the rising demand for retail on-chain payments has significantly boosted stablecoin activity. The report indicates that Solana is shifting from primarily Meme coin transactions to trading pairs of SOL and stablecoins, reflecting an increased share of payment use cases. Previously, Standard Chartered also stated that Solana’s low transaction costs are helping expand micro-payments and native internet financial applications. In terms of market share, Solana currently has the fourth-largest stablecoin supply across the network and ranks second only to Ethereum in USDC circulation. Analysts believe that although Ethereum still dominates the stablecoin and RWA sectors, stablecoins may become a key pillar for the maturity of the Solana network. (The Block)
