Solana Tears Open the Gap in Traditional Finance, Institutional Capital Accelerates Bottoming Out
Traditional financial giants are leveraging Solana to rebuild infrastructure. HSBC and Bank of America are tokenizing stocks and bonds through the R3 compliance bridge, achieving second-level settlement, completely shattering the traditional T+2 model; PayPal is betting on its ultra-low transaction cost ($0.00025 per transaction), migrating its stablecoin PYUSD to the Solana chain, providing a new cross-border payment channel for 240 million global users. Concurrently, institutions like Pantera have formed the Solana Co Treasury company—planning to acquire publicly listed companies and swap assets for SOL, creating a long-term locked-in moat.
This transformation directly addresses the pain points of efficiency and cost in the financial industry: bond issuance costs have been reduced from 3% to 0.1%, and cross-border payment fees have been cut by 80%. Despite ongoing disputes over SEC jurisdiction, the trillion-dollar tokenized asset market has opened its doors to Solana. As performance advantages translate into real-world scenario penetration, SOL is not just a technical token but also becomes a core chip in reconstructing the financial settlement layer. $SOL
