Crypto exchange Bullish has teamed up with the Solana Foundation, aiming to make Solana-native stablecoins the backbone of its trading and clearing operations.

The Bullish Exchange, which clears over $2.3 billion in average daily volume, is owned by the Bullish Group, which is also the parent of CoinDesk.
The move underscores a shared push to build faster, cheaper infrastructure that merges traditional and decentralized finance.
“We’re excited to collaborate with the Solana Foundation,” said Tom Farley, the CEO of Bullish, in a press release shared with CoinDesk. “Solana has proven itself as rails for next-generation financial infrastructure—fast, efficient, and ready for institutional scale.”
The collaboration comes as stablecoins are having a moment in crypto markets, emerging as key tools for payments and trading amid growing demand for low-cost, reliable digital dollars. Currently, the total market cap of stablecoins stands at $255.5 billion, with Solana stablecoin market cap at $10.9 billion, making it one of the top three stablecoin blockchains based on market cap, according to DeFiLlama data.
Solana’s speed and low fees have helped it attract a wave of new developers who are building projects that benefit from quick finality and scalability, like stablecoins, DeFi networks, or tokenization of real-world assets.
“Solana was built for moments like this—where performance, scale, and real-world adoption converge,” said Lily Liu, the President of the Solana Foundation, in the press release.
