June 08, 2026

Mastercard expands always-on stablecoin settlement to Solana as RWA inflows reach $716M and tokenized equity activity grows.

Solana became a key focus after Mastercard introduced always-on stablecoin settlement on the network, while several teams announced new tokenization, payments, brokerage, collectibles, and real-world asset products. 

The week also included reported RWA inflows of $716 million, which placed Solana ahead of other chains in monthly net capital movement.

Mastercard Expands Stablecoin Settlement on Solana

Mastercard introduced an always-on stablecoin settlement on Solana, according to the supplied market update. 

The wider stablecoin settlement stack now spans USDC, PYUSD, USDG, USDP, RLUSD, and SoFiUSD across eight listed chains.

Those chains include Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Canton, Tempo, and XRPL. 

The update also linked the GENIUS Act to payment eligibility for stablecoin-based settlement flows.

The report said transaction evidence must travel with the wallet. That point was presented as part of the compliance structure around tokenized payments and settlement.

Solana’s role in the update placed the network inside a wider institutional stablecoin settlement framework. 

Mastercard’s move also connected Solana to real-time payment access across blockchain rails.

Tokenization Activity Grows Across Solana

Backpack announced Backpack Securities, which connects traditional brokerage services with Solana-native tokenization. 

The product was described as a bridge between regulated brokerage access and blockchain-based asset issuance.

The Solana Foundation also launched native Subscriptions and Allowances for delegated spending and recurring billing. 

These tools support account-based payments, repeated billing, and controlled wallet permissions.

Several launches added more activity to the Solana ecosystem during the same period. 

MoonPay introduced the MoonAgents Desktop App, while Axelar went live on Solana for cross-chain messaging and programmable transfers.

Other teams also shipped products across payments, trading, privacy, gaming, and lending. 

These included Phoenix Trade, Lava Card, Umbra Privacy, Zodial, Paytrie, Dyadnum, and Certora’s verification work on Solana’s P-token upgrade.
