Solana is taking major steps to become the home of Internet Capital Markets. Here is a deep dive into what that means for builders and end users. 🧵👇

Corda underpins world's largest collection of TradFi blockchains... >$15bn of assets. We're leading convergence of TradFi with growing public DeFi ecosystem. But which to target? What are the requirements a network needs to satisfy, and why did I conclude Solana was the best fit?

Fusion AMM by DeFiTuna was built to transform Solana DeFi. @Titan_Exchange-first to integrate! Users can tap into Fusion AMM’s liquidity from day one. A big thanks to the entire Titan team for being responsive, flexible, and fast. We couldn’t ask for a better partner!

hey quick question - is your W key working? you're going to need it. solana ecosystem call: aug 14th at 2pm UTC 🥳

Many people still ask me why we chose Solana for @opinionsdotfun first of all, every chain has its own unique audience/users but @solana has users in literally every niche Solana has consistently led the most amount of active users + users are not bound to a specific app + users are very open to exploring innovations all of which is a huge unlock for experimenting and building apps so yeah, building on Solana is literally a no-brainer at this point tbh very excited to go live with our V2 on the chain I am most bullish and confident in PS: @0xMert_ pls gib extra power to our Helius RPCs for launch

R3 (@inside_r3) has spent a decade building real-world asset networks for the biggest institutions in finance. Now they’re integrating with Solana. @gendal breaks down why.

Linux from Scratch IPOs, when?

Pokemon TCG RWA on Solana has been quietly gaining traction, having done over $6.4M in revenue and $95M in total volume so far, despite being a relatively new sector onchain. @Collector_Crypt, one of the earliest players remains the frontrunner, averaging over $1.2M/month in gross revenue (net of buybacks). Most of this revenue comes from Gacha where $49.5M+ has been spent by 3004 unique wallets on Collector Crypt, averaging $16.5k/user. Gacha is the main revenue driver across the board with over $50M spent across the sector. Newer entrants like @TCG_Emporium and @Phygitals have already generated $163k and $665k respectively just from gacha spending alone, showing strong stickiness and spend despite much smaller user base for the TCG RWA sector. These gacha systems are akin to IRL oripas (gambling blind box), offering instant buyback based on 80 – 85% of card value , speeding up the gambling loop. Platforms also offer attractive chases (e.g Collector Crypt has ponchos as chase for gacha), further boosting the engagement. The secondary marketplace activity is growing too and while it is still smaller than gacha, it has recorded marketplace volumes totalling up to $440k as a sector. Emporium recorded a $11.3k top sales for Mario Pikachu card and a top sales of $9.3k was also recorded on Collector Crypt for a Poncho Pikachu card recently. While relatively new, tokenization of TCG like Pokemon seems to see a PMF emerging, with high user spending despite low DAU. Perhaps it could help to solve existing problems on the Web2 front – fragmented liquidity, fraud in IRL oripas/rip & ship or high marketplace fees (eg eBay) and can unlock more offerings onchain with instant accessibilty. The numbers seen here is just a small slice of the broader TCG market, and perhaps there could be more room to scale and onboard more users. Is there any token for any of the 3? Not at the moment, but the closest will be Collector Crypt which will be launched on Metaplex Genesis launchpad soon. Will be interesting to see how this sector will play out eventually.
