Solana Has Institutional Momentum With RWAs Heading Into 2026

Solana is showing significant momentum in Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, with the value of tokenized RWAs on the network reaching a record $873.3 million in December, alongside an 18.4% rise in RWA token holders. The majority of these RWAs back US Treasuries, though tokenized stocks are also growing. Solana is nearing $1 billion in tokenized RWAs, trailing only Ethereum and BNB Chain. Crypto asset manager Bitwise is bullish on Solana, predicting it will benefit significantly from tokenization if the US passes the CLARITY Act in 2026, which could help SOL reach a new all-time high. Furthermore, Solana's institutional legitimacy is bolstered by the approval of spot Solana ETFs, which have seen $765 million in inflows, and Western Union's selection of Solana to build its stablecoin settlements platform, expected to roll out in the first half of 2026. On-chain metrics also remain strong, with Solana leading all blockchains in app revenue over the last 30 days.
