According to @WatcherGuru, Wyoming launched the first US state-issued stablecoin, FRNT, on the Solana network on Jan 7, 2026 (source: @WatcherGuru). The announcement identifies the ticker FRNT and the Solana deployment but does not include a contract address, peg mechanics, reserve disclosures, or exchange listings, so traders should wait for official documentation and verified contract identifiers before initiating on-chain activity (source: @WatcherGuru).

According to @lookonchain, three wallets withdrew a combined 15.9 million USD in Solana ecosystem DeFi tokens from exchanges over the last 2 days, including 7.39B PUMP valued at 13.77M, 8.02M CLOUD at 621K, 9.06M KMNO at 539K, 1.33M JTO at 521K, and 3.05M DRIFT at 479K (source: @lookonchain; Arkham Intelligence explorer: intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/586yjYWYgg4i7sFahdtxAb2TwHiMKQkhEsEoEXEujb18 intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/FFDAamfSQpoKsUKMjzt6rvzLAUQKfnSPFnBZQyZk8HWM intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/26nbFGWaybNdMoPKgG5eNznkrAjFR4dgXSCsbF2Xkt5j). PUMP accounted for approximately 86.7 percent of the withdrawn value, with CLOUD 3.9 percent, KMNO 3.4 percent, JTO 3.3 percent, and DRIFT 3.0 percent, based on the figures reported (source: calculations from @lookonchain data; Arkham Intelligence). The flows were characterized as whale and institutional accumulation and were described as withdrawals from exchanges, while the exchange venues were not specified by the source (source: @lookonchain).

According to Onchain Lens, Circle minted $500 million USDC on the Solana network (source: Onchain Lens). According to Onchain Lens, since Oct 11, cumulative USDC minted on Solana by Circle totals $18 billion (source: Onchain Lens).

According to @phantom, prediction markets are rolling out to eligible Phantom users, enabling predictions funded with any Solana token in the wallet, including useCASH; the feature is powered by Kalshi (source: Phantom on X, Dec 17, 2025). For traders, this means SOL and other SPL tokens can be used directly from Phantom to place Kalshi-powered prediction positions, aligning event-market participation with the Solana ecosystem (source: Phantom on X, Dec 17, 2025).

According to @jessepollak, a new update highlighting the Base–Solana bridge was shared with a direct link on Dec 5, 2025, directing users to details on what’s new and different in the integration (source: @jessepollak on X, Dec 5, 2025). The post itself does not disclose technical specifics in-line (such as supported assets, fee model, latency/finality, or security approach), so traders should review the linked resource and official Base and Solana documentation before routing size across chains to verify costs, settlement times, and risk parameters (source: @jessepollak on X, Dec 5, 2025). From a trading perspective, confirmation of a direct Base–Solana path is relevant for execution routing of SOL, ETH, and stablecoin flows; once specifications are verified, compare bridge fees and slippage across venues and adjust cross-chain settlement workflows accordingly (source: @jessepollak on X, Dec 5, 2025).
