AllUnity, a joint venture backed by DWS, Flow Traders, and Galaxy Digital, announced the expansion of its Euro-denominated stablecoin EURAU, which complies with the EU's MiCA regulatory framework, to the Solana blockchain network. This move aims to enhance the efficiency of on-chain Euro transfers and support compliant financial applications.EURAU was first launched on Ethereum in July last year, backed by 100% reserves and issued under the EU's e-money regulatory framework. By integrating with Solana, AllUnity seeks to leverage its high-performance network to achieve faster settlement speeds and lower transaction costs, enabling businesses and developers to complete on-chain Euro transfers within seconds.This mechanism can be widely applied in areas such as cross-border payments, transaction settlement, lending, and corporate treasury management.

Galaxy Digital released its first-quarter 2026 financial results, reporting a net loss of $216 million and a diluted loss per share of $0.49. The primary driver was the broad downturn in cryptocurrency markets during the quarter, with total crypto market capitalization shrinking by approximately 20%. Its crypto asset holdings declined from $1.67 billion in Q4 2025 to $1.36 billion. As of the end of March, its largest crypto holding was 6,894 BTC (approximately $431 million), followed by $61 million worth of SOL and $42 million worth of ETH. Despite the pressure on earnings, Galaxy Digital’s AI infrastructure business is progressing smoothly: the company confirmed delivery of its first data center facility to CoreWeave and expects to fulfill its full commitment of 133 megawatts of AI/IT infrastructure by the end of Q2. Boosted by this news, the company’s stock (NASDAQ: GLXY) rose 5% intraday—a move that diverged from Bitcoin’s concurrent decline. Wall Street analysts currently assign GLXY an aggregate rating of “Moderate Buy,” with a consensus target price of $39.40—implying roughly 50% upside from its share price of $26.30 at the time of writing.

According to Fortune, Meta has quietly launched a stablecoin payment feature, offering select creators in Colombia and the Philippines the ability to receive payments in USDC on the Solana and Polygon networks. Creators can enter their third-party wallet addresses into Facebook’s payout platform to withdraw funds. Meta does not provide USDC-to-local-fiat conversion services and partners with Stripe to handle related tax filings. According to Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, the initiative is expected to expand to over 160 countries by year-end. This launch comes more than four years after Meta’s Libra project—later renamed Diem—was discontinued in 2022.
Meta has begun offering select creators the option to settle payments in USDC, allowing users to withdraw their earnings directly to wallets on Solana or Polygon.Creators can link crypto wallets (such as MetaMask, Phantom, etc.) to receive funds. Payment services are supported by Stripe, and users may be provided with crypto-related tax reports.Meta also cautioned that stablecoin payments carry inherent risks, and users are responsible for securing their own accounts and wallets; in the event of technical issues or special circumstances, the company may resort to alternative payment methods to complete settlements.According to previous reports, Meta is planning to further expand its stablecoin-related operations within the year.
Blockworks has announced the completion of a Series A extension funding round, achieving a post-money valuation of $192 million. The round was co-led by ParaFi Capital and Reciprocal Ventures, with support from Coinbase Ventures, MoonPay Ventures, and several other institutions and industry participants. The funding also attracted investments from over 20 founders and operators of ecosystem projects including Solana, LayerZero, Arbitrum, and Kraken, though the specific amount raised has not been disclosed.The company stated that while the crypto market has grown to a trillion-dollar scale lacking traditional capital market infrastructure, it still faces issues such as fragmented data, inconsistent disclosure standards, and a lack of investor communication mechanisms. Blockworks aims to fill this gap through a "data + disclosure + investor relations" tripartite architecture. (CNBC)
the Israel Capital Market Authority has approved Bits of Gold to issue the country's first shekel-pegged stablecoin, BILS. The token is a regulated asset launched by Bits of Gold after a two-year evaluation and pilot program, with support from the Solana network, Fireblocks, and Ernst & Young. Bits of Gold stated that bringing the shekel on-chain aims to position it alongside currencies such as the euro, the Japanese yen, and the Singapore dollar, which have already entered the blockchain financial system. Currently, the stablecoin market size has exceeded $300 billion. This issuance aims to address the dominance of dollar-pegged tokens in on-chain payments and safeguard digital sovereignty.

: The Solana Foundation has announced that its core development team, Anza, has reached an agreement with Jump Crypto's Firedancer on a potential post-quantum solution, planning to introduce a new digital signature scheme called Falcon. Although the threat of quantum computing is not expected to materialize for several years, Solana has already developed a phased upgrade roadmap. The plan includes ongoing research into Falcon and other alternatives, introducing post-quantum schemes for new wallets when necessary, and ultimately completing the migration of existing wallets. Currently, the quantum-resistant primitive Winternitz Vault, developed by Blueshift, has been operating on Solana for over two years. The Solana Foundation stated that the network's high-speed, low-latency design is compatible with such solutions and expects the migration will not significantly impact performance.
According to CoinDesk, Fidelity Digital Assets released its “Q2 Signals Report 2026” on April 28, noting that although the crypto market as a whole remained in consolidation during early Q2, several underlying metrics have already shown signs of stabilization. The report states that Bitcoin’s dominance continues to rise, capital is flowing steadily into the most liquid assets, and both the unrealized profit level and momentum indicators align with characteristics typical of a correction phase—potentially laying the groundwork for a more stable market structure going forward. Meanwhile, network usage for Ethereum and Solana has diverged from their respective price trends, suggesting robust demand at the protocol layer. The report also notes that Bitcoin futures continue to exhibit negative funding rates; research firm 10x interprets this as reflecting institutional structural hedging behavior—not a broad bearish signal.
A research report released by a16z Crypto states that stablecoins have evolved from niche trading tools into the foundational layer of a new global financial infrastructure, giving rise to a new generation of “Banking-as-a-Service” (BaaS) models. Unlike the previous wave of BaaS, this new model is built on onchain infrastructure and integrates account management, payments, foreign exchange, and credit functions via self-custodial wallets—significantly reducing reliance on traditional intermediaries. The report classifies blockchains into three categories: general-purpose public chains (e.g., Solana and Ethereum), purpose-built chains optimized for payment use cases (e.g., Stripe’s Tempo and Circle’s Arc), and compliance-focused networks designed for regulated institutions (e.g., Canton). On the regulatory front, following the passage of the GENIUS Act, stablecoin issuers are competing aggressively for national trust charters from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), aiming to gain direct access to the Federal Reserve’s payment rails and secure a central position within the payments stack. The report also notes that stablecoins have made significant progress in the “middle mile” of cross-border payments; however, liquidity bottlenecks between stablecoins and local fiat currencies remain unresolved in emerging markets. Looking ahead, as stablecoin scale grows, the onchain credit market is poised to become the next major opportunity after payments—providing capital to borrowers underserved by traditional financial systems. Moreover, the widespread adoption of stablecoins is expected to further reinforce the U.S. dollar’s global dominance.
