BitPay, a top cryptocurrency payment processor, revealed in a recent press release that it now supports the Solana blockchain.
Users can buy, store, and spend Solana-based stablecoins like USDC and USDT while Merchants gain access to one of the largest and most active crypto ecosystems.
BitPay now fully integrates with the Solana network, enabling users and merchants to use Solana through the BitPay Wallet and its merchant network.
Notably, stablecoins already make up nearly 40% of BitPay’s 2025 total payment volume. Solana’s low fees for stablecoin transfers could help that number grow even faster.
“Solana is not only home to one of crypto’s most passionate and active communities, but it’s also becoming a major network for stablecoins,” said Bill Zielke, CMO of BitPay.
He added that since 2021, BitPay has led the way in stablecoin payments, and with Solana support, users and merchants now have faster, lower-cost ways to send, spend, and receive digital assets.
With Solana support in the BitPay Wallet, users can:
Solana users can now pay bills and shop with BitPay merchants using wallets like Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack. Merchants gain access to a fast-growing crypto community with no extra setup. Solana-based payouts are planned, allowing businesses to benefit from faster, lower-cost transactions in future updates.
BitPay notes that Solana’s lightning-fast transactions, low fees, and developer-friendly design make it ideal for real-world crypto payments and app development. Its expanding ecosystem spans DeFi, NFTs, and now, with BitPay, everyday commerce.
Solana’s speed and low fees are making it a go-to choice for payment platforms. It’s already part of Visa’s stablecoin settlement network, and Payments giant Fiserv also plans to launch a bank-friendly stablecoin on Solana soon.
Solana is also gaining ground in real-world crypto payments. PayPal’s “Pay with Crypto” now lets U.S. merchants accept over 100 cryptocurrencies, including Solana and Solana-based stablecoins.
