Large-scale liquidity provider B2C2 has announced its choice of Solana as its main network for stablecoin transactions. Founded in 2015 and serving only institutional clients, B2C2 will now primarily route and finalize high-volume stablecoin transfers through the Solana network. The company emphasizes that the advantages offered by Solana in terms of speed, scalability, and transaction costs were decisive in this decision. While B2C2's client portfolio is not fully publicized, the company's recent collaborations are noteworthy. Having partnered with significant institutions such as Standard Chartered, Anchorage Digital, and Bitget, B2C2 is also known as one of Robinhood's main market makers. This indicates that the decision is not merely a technical choice but also a strategy that could impact a broad institutional ecosystem. In a statement, the company's CEO, Thomas Restout, stated that Solana has now become a fundamental part of the financial infrastructure. According to Restout, networks offering speed, reliability, and scalability in line with customer expectations are coming to the forefront, and the future of stablecoin transactions is being shaped accordingly.
Institutional interest is increasing
This move by B2C2 also supports Solana's recent increase in use by the institutional sector. Previously, Visa's preference for Solana for USDC transactions for banks in the US was seen as a significant milestone in the network's integration with traditional finance. In addition, the integrations of giant companies such as Mastercard, PayPal, SoFi, Western Union, and Worldpay with Solana are noteworthy. Data confirms this rise. In February, Solana broke its own record by reaching approximately $650 billion in stablecoin transaction volume. This figure is more than double the network's performance in previous months. On the other hand, the total stablecoin supply on Solana also showed a significant increase throughout 2025; its market value, which was around $5 billion at the beginning of the year, reached approximately $15 billion by the end of the year. Despite this, Solana still lags behind leading networks Ethereum and Tron. In terms of stablecoin market capitalization, Solana's ratio to Ethereum is around 9%, and this ratio hasn't changed significantly in the last year. So, although the network has experienced rapid growth, it still has a way to go to take the lead.
Extensive stablecoin support
B2C2 announced that it will support many stablecoins on Solana, including USDC, USDT, PYUSD, USDG, USD1, EURC, and FDUSD. The company also stated that it may include other stablecoins issued and supported on Solana over time. This will allow institutional investors to trade more flexibly between different assets.
On the other hand, PENNY, the zero-fee stablecoin exchange platform that B2C2 developed last year for banks and financial institutions, stands out as an important part of this strategy. The platform aims to increase efficiency in currency transactions, treasury management, and cross-border payments. One of the most important corporate backers behind B2C2 is the Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings. Having acquired a majority stake in the company in 2020, SBI played a key role in B2C2's global expansion process.
