Do you know that PayPal has chosen $SOL as the default network for PYUSD.

No noise. Just real adoption.

Solana led all blockchains in revenue in Jan ’26 with $245M — outperforming Ethereum and others. Now, real payment volume from a legacy fintech giant is flowing through Solana’s fast, low-cost rails.

Yet price sits around $85, still trapped in a falling channel.

When PayPal makes Solana the default network for PYUSD, it’s not just symbolic.

It means:
1) New PYUSD activity routes through Solana by default
2) Users interact with Solana whether they realize it or not
3) Payment flows begin settling on Solana infrastructure

This isn’t just Solana vs Ethereum.

This is: Legacy fintech integrating directly with a high-performance chain.

If PYUSD usage grows meaningfully:
1) More transactions = more fees
2) More ecosystem apps integrate PYUSD
3) More liquidity anchors on Solana
4) Network effects compound

And once payment habits form, they stick.

Adoption is accelerating.

The market hasn’t priced it in.
