SOL perpetual contract trading share drops to 6%, Solana seeks transformation to shed Meme coin dependence and compete for Wall Street market

A Galaxy Research report shows that Meme coins' share of Solana trading volume has fallen from over 50% at the end of 2024 to 15%–20% in Q2 2026. In addition, SOL has declined nearly 20% year-to-date, and U.S.-listed spot and staked SOL ETFs recorded outflows for two consecutive weeks this month, totaling approximately $50 million. Meanwhile, Solana's share of on-chain perpetual contract trading volume has dropped from 17% to 6%. The Solana Foundation has reportedly issued a statement saying that Solana's transformation is underway, attempting to shift from a growth model reliant on Meme coins and speculative trading toward more mainstream financial applications such as stablecoins and tokenized assets, in a bid to win adoption from Wall Street institutions.However, with the crypto market downturn and the rise of competitors such as Hyperliquid, Solana faces challenges in transforming its growth model. Market analysts point out that the key to Solana's future lies in whether it can attract stable assets, developers, and users, rather than relying solely on speculative trading to drive growth.

Solana Governance Vulnerability Fixed, Did Not Affect Passage of SGP-0002 Proposal

Odaily reports: Blockchain security research firm Asymmetric Research has disclosed that Solana's on-chain governance program svmgov previously had a vulnerability: when validators did not participate in voting, independent votes submitted in advance by their delegators might not be counted in the final results. The vulnerability was reported to the Solana Foundation on July 10 and was fixed on mainnet on August 3, earlier than the governance vote on August 24. Based on on-chain data calculations, Asymmetric Research estimates that if the vulnerability had not been fixed, the approval rate of the SGP-0002 proposal, which aims to accelerate the decline in SOL inflation, could have dropped from the actual 67.00% to 66.65%, below the 66.67% passage threshold. The vulnerability was fixed before the vote and did not actually change the proposal's outcome.

Solana has gone two consecutive years without reporting a mainnet outage, Fidelity flags staking and other areas as needing continued observation

Odaily reports: Solana has gone two consecutive years without reporting a mainnet outage. A report from Fidelity's Applied Technology Center (FCAT) notes that its network health has made progress across resilience, economic security, and performance metrics.The report notes that higher staking participation and incentive mechanisms rewarding validator performance underpin Solana's economic security, while low latency, improved scalability, and low-cost transactions also support its adoption at scale.The report also states that staking concentration among a small number of validator identities and operators, as well as concentration in custody and client software, still require continued observation. Jacob Creech, VP of Technology at the Solana Foundation, said that Solana reduced slot times to 350 milliseconds on August 21; the foundation announced plans in June to further reduce this to 200 milliseconds, with three additional 50-millisecond adjustments to follow.

Tokenization's core is expanding global access to U.S. assets, with 160 countries combined accounting for only about 5% of global stock market capitalization

Odaily News: Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, stated at the Token 2049 event in Singapore that the crypto market recovery trend is expected to continue over the next 12 months, despite AI drawing more investor attention and capital. She believes that the core of tokenization is not about competing with traditional retail trading platforms, but rather about leveraging blockchain to expand global investors' access to U.S. assets. Currently, about 160 countries worldwide together account for only approximately 5% of global stock market capitalization, leaving room for blockchain and tokenized assets to expand into global markets.

Solana Foundation Launches Institutional-Grade Settlement Standard Solana DvP with Design Input from JPMorgan Chase

According to TheStreet, the Solana Foundation has announced the launch of Solana DvP (Delivery-versus-Payment), an open-source delivery-versus-payment settlement program designed for institutions, aimed at helping financial institutions achieve synchronous settlement of assets and funds on the Solana blockchain. JPMorgan provided relevant guidance on institutional settlement needs during the project's development. The Solana Foundation stated that Solana DvP is based on DvP settlement principles from traditional financial markets, where asset delivery and payment occur simultaneously to mitigate counterparty risk arising from scenarios where one party completes payment while the other fails to deliver assets. While traditional markets typically require processes through clearinghouses and custodians and take one to two business days to settle, Solana DvP enables synchronous transfer of assets and funds through a single atomic transaction, completing settlement within seconds. Previously, institutional on-chain settlement typically required custom smart contracts for each transaction, whereas Solana DvP provides a unified standard, operates under an MIT open-source license, and allows institutions to use and build upon it without authorization fees.

G7 urges immediate migration to post-quantum cryptography; Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana developers have tested defense solutions

: The G7 cybersecurity working group stated in its latest report that quantum computing poses both a security threat and an economic threat to public and private institutions, and related organizations should immediately begin migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).The working group noted that the migration process could take several years, as attackers can already collect and store encrypted data today and decrypt it once sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge. Quantum computing could also break digital signatures, leading to identity theft and exposing companies and their supply chains.The report did not mention cryptocurrencies, but similar public-key cryptography is used for blockchain wallets and transaction authorization. Current quantum computers are not yet capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography, but developers are considering post-quantum solutions such as BIP-360.Ethereum researchers plan to replace multiple cryptographic components used by accounts, validators, and applications. The Solana Foundation has tested post-quantum signatures on its testnet and launched an optional hash-based vault. The G7 working group also urged governments to support related research, public-private cooperation, and national PQC strategies. (Decrypt)

Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu: Tokenization Enters a "Supercycle," Solana RWA Trading Volume Reaches Hundreds of Billions of Dollars

: Lily Liu posted on the X platform, stating that capital, assets, and ownership are migrating toward 24/7 internet infrastructure, forming a long-term "token supercycle." Tokenization is not just about moving assets onto the chain—it also transforms the assets themselves, enabling value to be issued, held, financed, and traded in a market that never closes. She noted that stablecoins have proven capital can flow globally on-chain, financial institutions are pushing assets onto the chain, blockchain infrastructure is beginning to meet the speed and cost demands of real economic activity, and AI economic agents require programmable money. When these factors converge, any form of value with clear ownership could be tokenized, gaining broader access to distribution, financing, and trading channels.Over the past year, RWA trading volume on Solana has reached hundreds of billions of dollars, covering tokenized U.S. Treasuries, equities, and private credit. During the same period, stablecoin transfer volume exceeded $4.7 trillion. Liu stated that tokenization can also enable more investors to overcome geographic, minimum investment, and accreditation barriers, while allowing held assets to be used as collateral or generate yield. Although the current on-chain market size remains far below traditional markets, the related infrastructure could eventually reach 5.5 billion internet users globally.
