SBI Holdings’ B2C2 Taps Solana as its Primary Stablecoin Settlement Layer

B2C2 CEO Thomas Restout argues “Solana has earned its place as fundamental financial infrastructure”.

B2C2, a core market market for firms like Robinhood, Anchorage Digital, and Standard Chartered, has chosen Solana as its primary platform for institutional-scale stablecoin settlement.

The collaboration comes off the back of a swathe of blockbuster partnerships for Solana, which has seen TradFi giants like Mastercard, WorldPay, and Western Union join forces with the Layer-1.

Growing institutional demand has led to a surge in onchain stablecoin activity, pushing Solana to yearly highs in monthly transfer volume.

Institutional Market Maker to Settle Stablecoins on Solana

Best known for its market making and liquidity provision services for the likes of Robinhood and Anchorage Digital, SBI Holdings’ B2C2 Group has announced it will henceforth be routing the bulk of its institutional stablecoin settlement through Solana.

While difficult to ascertain the impact that a collaboration of this size will have on Solana’s stablecoin flows, Arkham Intel data suggests that the entity regularly shifts tens of millions of dollars worth of funds every single day.

Thomas Restout, B2C2 Group CEO, asserts that Solana offers an optimal settlement environment for client needs, prioritizing speed and reliability.

"Solana has earned its place as fundamental financial infrastructure. We're supporting real flow here because it delivers on the things that matter to our clients — speed, reliability and scale. This is where settlement is heading." - B2C2 Group CEO Thomas Restout

As reported by The Block, B2C2 will support Solana-native variants of popular stablecoins like $USDC, $USDT,  $PYUSD, $USDG, $USD1 and $FDUSD, as well $EURC, a Euro-pegged asset issued by Circle. The firm has indicated it may also use additional Solana-based stables as needed.

Solana’s TradFi Partner List Grows Stronger

B2C2’s becomes the latest in a long line of institutional players seeking to solidify their relationship with the Solana Ecosystem. Last week, Mastercard, WorldPay, and Western Union  were announced as the first users of the new Solana Developer Platform, a toolkit designed to streamline app development for institutional teams.

Additionally, Aon, a $5T insurance broker, launched a pilot program for Solana-based payments, while Goldman Sachs disclosed a $108M investment in Solana ETFs. On the RWA front, WisdomTree, an asset manager boasting over $143B in AUM recently announced it was expanding its tokenized treasury funds to the performant Layer-1.

Meanwhile, in November 2025, U.S. Banking giant SoFi became the first regulated bank to enable its customers to purchase native $SOL directly from their checking account.

Stablecoin Activity Starts Strong in 2026

After a subdued 2025 in the wake of a Q1 punctuated by the biggest memecoin launch in history, Solana’s stablecoin economy is regaining momentum. According to Dune Analytics, Solana’s monthly stablecoin transfer volume in 2026 is consistently higher than the monthly average of the three previous quarters..

Remarkably, the surge in stablecoin activity comes amidst a broader decline in crypto asset prices. Typically, falling prices leads to diminishing activity, with DeFi users preferring to offramp funds into fiat at the end of a bull cycle.

Recent data suggests this trend is changing. Conversely to previous cycles, stablecoin adoption on Solana is accelerating amidst declining $SOL prices. This change suggests that the onchain economy could stand on the brink of a newfound maturity, led by institutional-scale business models and a thriving payments network.
