Solana's DeFi Ecosystem Surges as MoneyGram Partnership Gains Momentum

Solana's (SOL) partnership with MoneyGram, one of the world's largest payments networks, is gaining attention as it expands its DeFi ecosystem. The network has seen a significant surge in activity, with over 171 million daily non-vote transactions and 2,000 transactions per second. This momentum suggests that Solana is well-positioned to capitalize on its growing payment sector.

The partnership with MoneyGram allows the network to leverage Solana's fundamentals while potentially driving even more on-chain activity for the L1. Liquidity on the network has already started to shift, indicating top-tier issuers are positioning themselves to benefit from this momentum.

Tether's (USDT) supply on Solana is up nearly 19% over the past 30 days, while Circle's (USDC) supply declined by -4.6%. This highlights the growing traction of USDT within Solana's liquidity landscape. With tokenized equities reaching a new all-time high and crypto payment cards processed $759 million in July, it appears that major market participants are already positioning to capitalize on this momentum.
