2 min read

BitPay has integrated Solana into its platform, enabling users and merchants to buy, store, send, receive, swap, and spend SOL and Solana-based stablecoins.

Summary
  • BitPay, a leading crypto payment processor, has integrated Solana blockchain into its platform.
  • Payments from external Solana wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack) are supported, and Solana-based payouts are planned for future updates.
  • Major networks like Visa and Fiserv are also leveraging Solana for stablecoin transactions, highlighting its growing adoption in mainstream finance.

In a press release shared with crypto.news, BitPay announced that it has integrated the Solana blockchain into its platform, enabling support for Solana (SOL), USD Coin (USDC), and Tether (USDT).

With this integration, users can now buy, store, send, receive, swap, and spend Solana-based assets directly in the BitPay Wallet. Payments can also be made from external Solana wallets, including Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack. Merchants accepting BitPay payments can receive funds without holding crypto, and Solana-based payouts are planned for a future update.

The 1916 Company, a luxury watch and jewelry retailer, is among the first to accept Solana payments through BitPay. CEO John Shmerler cited the network’s efficiency and low fees as key benefits for both customers and the business.

Major payment networks continue to integrate Solana

Solana is increasingly being integrated into various payment platforms, as its high throughput and low transaction costs enable faster and more efficient cross-border and on-chain payments. Notably, Solana is integrated into Visa’s settlement platform for stablecoin transactions, alongside Ethereum (ETH), with Stellar (XLM) and Avalanche (AVAX) added recently.

Additionally, Fiserv, a global payments technology provider and a Fortune 500 company listed on the NYSE, plans to launch a bank-friendly stablecoin on Solana in the coming months.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
