Do you remember the Meme coin craze on Solana in 2023-2024? But now, entering 2026, the situation has long changed. This public chain is no longer just a stage for trading frenzy but is transforming into a comprehensive ecosystem covering RWA, stablecoins, DeFi, and more. What does this shift mean? Let’s take a look.

**RWA Tokenization: From Concept to Reality**

Real-world asset tokenization on Solana is no longer just theoretical. By the end of 2025, the tokenized RWA on Solana has surpassed $500 million. This is not just a number; it signifies that investors are increasingly confident that this chain can support real assets long-term. More importantly, Solana has captured over 95% of the market share in tokenized stock trading — this is absolute dominance.

**Institutional-Grade Recognition Is the Game Changer**

What’s truly interesting is that major institutions are starting to take it seriously. Giants like Bank of New York Mellon (managing $50 trillion in assets) plan to launch the SWEEP fund directly on Solana in early 2026, which will be the first globally systemically important bank tokenization fund running on a public chain. Meanwhile, JPMorgan has also conducted its first US commercial paper transaction on Solana.

These are not small moves. When these financial giants start to treat Solana as real financial infrastructure, what does it indicate? It shows that perceptions have shifted.

so the 95% market share on tokenized equities isn't even the flex here—it's that state street is actually moving *infrastructure* to solana instead of just hedging their bets. that's the inefficiency vector flipping. institutional adoption patterns don't shift overnight unless the protocol dynamics are genuinely solving for something trad finance couldn't arbitrage away before. interesting move.

Still debating meme coins in 2026? This wave of Solana is truly different, even JPMorgan has joined... Traditional finance is finally taking this chain seriously.

This wave of SOL is truly different. From the meme coin frenzy to now RWA infrastructure, it has really transformed. Endorsements from institutions like State Street and JPMorgan Chase are more convincing than anything else.

Wow, from meme coins to institutional-level RWA, this transition is really impressive.

actually, let me break this down – the 5B RWA figure sounds impressive on surface but here's the thing: ceteris paribus, we need to factor in what percentage is actually productive assets vs just tokenized speculation, right? the 95% market share claim in tokenized stock trading is wild though... tbh that's the real inflection point
