Singapore-based StraitsX plans to bring its Singapore dollar-backed XSGD and US dollar-backed XUSD to the Solana blockchain by early 2026.
The rollout, announced in collaboration with the Solana Foundation, will allow users to settle transactions in Singapore dollar- and US dollar-backed stablecoins using Solana’s high-speed, low-cost infrastructure, the issuer <a href="https://www.straitsx.com/blog-post/straitsx-to-launch-both-xsgd-and-xusd-on-solanas-public-blockchain" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">said</a> in a Tuesday blog post.
“Launching XSGD and XUSD together on Solana will be game-changing. It unites CEX support, AMM liquidity, lending pools, and everyday payments on a single high-performance chain,” said Tianwei Liu, co-founder and CEO of StraitsX.
StraitsX said the expansion is aimed at supporting growing demand from digital commerce platforms and AI-native applications. Solana (<a href="/solana-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer">SOL</a>) has increasingly been <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/coinbase-x402-payments-protocol-make-ai-agents-more-autonomous" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_self">used for x402-based payments</a>, an interoperability standard designed to enable automated transactions between software agents.

XSGD (XSGD) is already live across several blockchains, including Ether (<a href="/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer">ETH</a>), Polygon (MATIC), Avalanche (<a href="/avalanche-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer">AVAX</a>), Arbitrum (<a href="/arbitrum-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer">ARB</a>), Zilliqa (<a href="/zilliqa-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer">ZIL</a>), Hedera (<a href="/hedera-hbar-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer">HBAR</a>) and the XRP Ledger, while XUSD (XUSD) is available on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain.
XSGD has a market cap of $13 million and a circulating supply of 16.7 million tokens, according to CoinMarketCap. XUSD has a market cap of $52 million.
The two stablecoins have processed more than $18 billion in combined onchain transaction volume, per the announcement.
Both stablecoins natively support the x402 standard. That functionality will carry over to Solana, enabling use cases such as onchain foreign exchange between SGD and USD, automated market maker liquidity, lending markets and institutional-grade payment flows.
