StraitsX has partnered with the Solana Foundation to launch the XUSD and XSGD stablecoins pegged on the U.S. dollar and Singapore dollar, respectively, on the Solana network. The initial rollout is scheduled for the beginning of next year, marking an expansion of the company’s multichain and cross-border settlement use cases.

StraitsX stated that the integration will enable the easy settlement of XSGD and XUSD on Solana, taking advantage of the network’s fast and cheap infrastructure for real-time global payments and digital commerce.

The company relies on Solana’s increasing use of x402-based payment standards. The interoperability standard enables automated machine-to-machine and AI agent micropayments. 

Meanwhile, the launch of both stablecoins positions them to support future demand from the expanding agentic economy and AI-native applications. XUSD is already live on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain, while XSGD is available on Zilliqa, XRPL, Polygon, Hedera, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Avalanche. 

Launching XUSD and XSGD combines CEX support with AMM liquidity

Tianwei Liu, the co-founder and CEO of StraitsX, said launching both XSGD and XUSD on Solana unites CEX support with AMM liquidity, lending pools, and everyday payments on a single chain. It also brings the world closer to moving digital money across networks just as easily as moving information across different platforms today. 

Meanwhile, Lu Yin, the head of APAC at The Solana Foundation, agreed that stablecoins are becoming one of the most essential building blocks for real-world on-chain activities. He added that launching both stablecoins on Solana expands the network’s role as a leading global payments chain. 

The partnership also creates new opportunities for institutions, builders, and users by launching both tokens on the Solana blockchain. The opportunities include lending and borrowing, yield-generating DeFi applications, and instant cross-border settlements. The addition of native USD and SGD liquidity further strengthens Solana’s role as a layer for machine-driven and AI-driven onchain transactions.

XUSD and XSGD both support the x402 standard natively, placing them among the first-ever stablecoins built for automated agent-to-agent payments. The capability will be carried on to Solana to accelerate the adoption of both stablecoins across emerging AI-driven use cases.  

U.S. dollar and Singapore dollar ecosystems get bridged on same chain

The initiative is expected to deeply bridge the U.S. dollar and Singapore dollar ecosystems for the first time on the same chain, creating a unified foundation for onchain FX between XUSD and XSGD. It will also create a unified foundation for automated market maker (AMM) liquidity, institutional-grade payment flows, and lending markets.

The two stablecoins have processed over $18 billion in on-chain transaction volume, highlighting strong adoption among builders, users, and institutional players. 

Major CEXs (centralized exchanges) are reportedly lining up to support the Solana native XSGD and XUSD stablecoins. StraitsX is also working with DEXs (decentralized exchanges), Solana’s largest DeFi protocols, and AMM ecosystems to establish stablecoin lending markets and liquidity pools. 

StraitsX anticipates that these efforts will strengthen the foundation for a comprehensive, full-stack settlement and payment network on the Solana blockchain. Its collaboration with the Solana Foundation also aims to drive deep liquidity for both stablecoins, ensuring efficient and strong participation within the Solana ecosystem. 

The collaboration accounts for the continuously evolving nature of terrorism-financing and money-laundering landscapes. The partners will also ensure that risks arising from the integration are effectively addressed to protect users.  

Meanwhile, StraitsX recently secured $10 million from UQPAY to drive the expansion of stablecoins across Asia. The company is partnering with leading financial institutions, global liquidity providers, and payment technology partners like UQPAY to deliver regulated solutions.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
