StraitsX to Launch XSGD & XUSD Stablecoins on Solana by 2026: What to Expect



StraitsX Expands Stablecoin Ecosystem on Solana



Singapore-based financial technology provider StraitsX has announced plans to migrate its Singapore dollar-backed XSGD and US dollar-backed XUSD tokens onto the Solana blockchain by early 2026. This strategic move aims to enhance transaction efficiency and broaden the usability of these stablecoins within the high-performance Solana ecosystem, supporting a variety of financial applications from payments to decentralized finance (DeFi).



The collaboration with the Solana Foundation will enable users to settle transactions in either XSGD or XUSD using Solana's fast, low-cost infrastructure. According to a company blog post, co-founder and CEO Tianwei Liu emphasized that bringing both stablecoins onto Solana will be transformative. “It unites centralized exchange support, automated market maker liquidity, lending pools, and everyday payments on a single blockchain,” he noted.



StraitsX’s intention with this rollout is to meet increasing demand from digital commerce platforms and AI-native applications. Notably, Solana has been gaining traction in the realm of interoperable payments, particularly through its adoption of the x402 protocol standard, which facilitates autonomous transactions between software agents—an infrastructure well-suited for automation and cross-platform compatibility.

Presently, XSGD operates across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Zilliqa, Hedera, and the XRP Ledger. XUSD is currently available on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain. Combined, these stablecoins have processed over $18 billion in on-chain transactions, underscoring their significant liquidity and adoption.



Both stablecoins support the x402 interoperability standard, which will carry over to Solana, enabling functionalities such as on-chain foreign exchange between SGD and USD, automated liquidity pools, lending markets, and institutional payment flows. StraitsX, licensed under Singapore's Monetary Authority, has confirmed that both XSGD and XUSD are compliant with upcoming stablecoin regulations, as detailed in their white papers.



Further bolstering their development, recent collaborations include a partnership with Southeast Asia’s largest super-app, Grab. The companies signed a memorandum of understanding to create a Web3-enabled settlement layer that integrates digital wallets, programmable payments, and stablecoin transactions—potentially allowing Southeast Asian users to hold and spend XSGD and XUSD directly within the Grab app, subject to regulatory approval.

Analyst: Bitcoin can reclaim $100K without a new narrative

Bitcoin has stalled below the $100,000 threshold, marking a run of almost five months without a breakout above that level. As of the latest market close, BTC hovered around $78,250 after a February nadir of about $60,000, underscoring a slow, grinding recovery amid broader market dynamics. In parallel, tech markets—especially AI-focused equities—have captured the spotlight, with investors rotating capital away from crypto in search of different risk-reward profiles. Nvidia (NVDA), the leading AI stock by market cap, has gained about 5.08% since the start of the year, while Bitcoin has faced a roughly 10% dip over the same period, illustrating a diverging performance within risk assets. MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe suggested that Bitcoin may not require a fresh narrative to push back above $100,000. In a post on X, he asked what narrative would drive BTC to the milestone and concluded that “price moves upwards, and the narrative will create itself.” He continued that ...
