15th December 2025 – Solana’s flagship event, Breakpoint 2025, took place from December 11 to 13 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This marked the first time the conference was held in the Middle East. Over 7,000 attendees from more than 100 countries joined the event.
The conference focused on Solana’s rapid growth. Key themes included institutional adoption, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, DeFi innovation, mobile expansion, and AI integrations.
Speakers highlighted how Solana aims to bridge traditional finance with blockchain. Many sessions covered regulatory progress and a long-term vision of onboarding billions of users. The event wrapped up with community-led showcases. Solana announced that Breakpoint 2026 will be hosted in London.
After three years of development, Firedancer, a high-performance validator client, launched on Solana’s mainnet. It produced over 50,000 blocks and now supports 33% of the total stake. This upgrade significantly boosts Solana’s throughput and makes the network more resilient.
Solana Mobile announced partnerships with MediaTek, FXTech, and Trustonic. Their integration will embed Solana’s mobile stack directly into Android devices at the chipset level. Since MediaTek powers nearly half of all Android phones, this move could bring Solana to billions of users.
J.P. Morgan arranged one of the first-ever commercial paper issuances on a public blockchain. The issuance, settled in USDC, was created for Galaxy Digital and purchased by Coinbase and Franklin Templeton. This marked a major institutional milestone for public blockchain adoption.
Circle minted $500 million in USDC directly on the Solana network. This injection strengthens liquidity and further cements Solana as a leader in stablecoin transactions.
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) received a No Action Letter from the SEC. This allows the DTCC to begin tokenizing assets like ETFs, U.S. Treasuries, and Russell 1000 equities. These assets are DTC-custodied and will begin rollout in 2026.
DeFi aggregator Jupiter introduced JupUSD, a stablecoin backed by Ethena. It also exited beta on its lending platform (Jupiter Lend) which reached $1 billion in assets. Other announcements included a new Terminal, a developer platform, an upgraded VRF engine for security, the acquisition of RainFi for peer-to-peer lending, and a $1 million rewards program.
Galaxy Asset Management and State Street announced a tokenized private liquidity fund to launch in early 2026. It will be built on Solana and will serve institutional investors. This reflects growing regulatory clarity and interest in tokenized finance.
Coinbase now supports Solana-based DEX trading directly within its app. This lets users trade any Solana token without needing centralized listings, making DeFi more accessible to mainstream users.
Hex Trust announced it will issue a 1:1 backed wrapped XRP token called $wXRP on Solana. This will bring Ripple’s asset into Solana’s growing DeFi ecosystem.
WisdomTree, an asset manager with over $140 billion in AUM, revealed plans to launch tokenized yield-bearing vaults on Solana. These products will allow traditional financial instruments to live on-chain and generate returns.
