The trader’s lucky break comes as investments in the Solana ecosystem continue their staggering growth. The total value locked on the Solana blockchain has now exceeded $1.3 billion.
Staking protocol Marinade Finance holds the most value in the ecosystem, with over $1 billion invested. Users stake their SOL on Marinade in exchange for a so-called liquidity token and a chance to earn rewards from securing the network. The liquidity token has the equivalent value of the staked SOL.
Solana has also gained support from USDC issuer Circle Internet Financial. The latter launched its EURC stablecoin on the network in December.
Circle believes cross-chain interoperability is crucial to stablecoin adoption. It highlighted that Solana’s speed will be a drawcard for institutions.
Growth Moves Solana Beyond Altcoin Traders
Solana’s plans for growth include projects embracing industry trends like tokenizing real-world assets. The Solana Foundation has invested $10 million in a Brazilian development team. Hacken, Gate.io, Coin DCX, and Brazil Digital Token (BRX) are the investors financing Solana’s Brazil operation.
“Our intention at the Solana Foundation is to have an ever-decreasing influence on the ecosystem and empower our community to lead the future of Solana,” Dias told a local news outlet.
Led by Solana’s Latin America chief, Diego Dias, the development team will build applications involving art, tokenization, and artificial intelligence. Solana’s fast transactions and low costs could make settling transactions more capital-efficient than on Ethereum. Solana’s expansion into Brazil also intended to streamline the financial system.
The foundation previously announced it had noticed rising engagement from crypto users in Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, and India. It raised $60 million from investors in 2021.
