TL;DR
- BitPay has integrated support for the Solana blockchain, allowing payments with SOL, USDC, and USDT, gift card purchases, and asset management in its multichain wallet.
- Merchants gain access to fast, low-cost Solana payments without extra setup and with a full range of tools.
- The integration builds on the growing use of stablecoins, which already make up 40% of BitPay’s payment volume, and strengthens Solana’s adoption for real-world transactions.
BitPay has fully integrated support for the Solana blockchain, enabling both users and merchants to use SOL and stablecoins such as USDC and USDT.
The addition of this network expands payment, storage, and digital asset management options within the platform’s wallet, while merchants tap into one of the most active crypto communities. Users can now spend Solana with merchants that accept BitPay, purchase gift cards from over 250 brands, pay bills directly in the app, and manage their holdings alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies in a self-custody multichain wallet.
The platform also makes it easy to convert SOL and stablecoins into fiat money through bank accounts, debit cards, or PayPal, as well as swap between different tokens. Transactions on Solana are processed quickly and with low fees, improving the experience for peer-to-peer transfers and everyday commerce. Merchants do not need to perform any additional configuration to accept these payments.
BitPay Targets the Stablecoin Boom and Solana’s Strengths
Solana has proven its efficiency and flexibility in payment systems, becoming a preferred choice for platforms worldwide. Its network is already used for Visa’s stablecoin settlements, and Fiserv plans to launch a bank-issued stablecoin on Solana.
PayPal allows U.S. merchants to accept Solana and its stablecoins, further cementing the blockchain’s presence in real-world payments and mass adoption of digital assets. The network combines speed, low fees, and ease of integration for developers—qualities that make it appealing for both decentralized applications and more routine payments.
BitPay’s role in this expansion aims to leverage the rising interest in stablecoins, which account for about 40% of the company’s total payment volume in 2025. Solana’s ability to handle low-cost, high-speed transfers gives users and merchants a more efficient and secure transaction flow, strengthening the real-world utility of these assets.
Businesses like The 1916 Company already accept Solana payments through BitPay, demonstrating how the network enables cryptocurrency adoption in both physical and digital commerce. The integration advances the practical adoption of Solana by combining performance, accessibility, and reach.
