Stablecoin supply falls $17B as Solana card spending hits $141M

Stablecoin supply contracted by $17 billion as crypto liquidity tightened further, even as Solana-based card spending reached $141 million, signaling growing payment utility on the network. The divergence highlights how stablecoin usage is shifting toward transaction activity on Solana even as aggregate supply shrinks across the market. The $141 million in card spending underscores rising real-world stablecoin utility on Solana, a chain increasingly positioned as a payments hub. The $17 billion supply decline matters because it points to tighter liquidity conditions that can weigh on trading and lending activity across crypto markets.
