StraitsX and Solana Foundation to issue Solana-native USD, Singapore dollar stablecoins

Source Cryptopolitan

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.

“Stablecoin adoption is increasingly driven by users and businesses who expect payments to be instant, low-cost, and available everywhere.”

–Tianwei Liu, Co-Founder and CEO at StraitsX

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.

Bitcoin Slides 5% as Sellers Lean In — Can BTC Reclaim $88,000?Bitcoin has dropped back below $88,000 after rolling over from $90,500, with price still trading under the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. The sell-off found a floor at $85,151, and BTC is now consolidating near that base, but rebounds are facing pressure from a bearish trend line around $89,000. Bulls need to retake $88,000–$89,000 to ease downside risk; failure to do so keeps $85,500–$85,000 and then $83,500 in play, with $80,000 as the deeper “line in the sand.” Bitcoin (BTC) is back in damage-control mode after a sharp pullback wiped out recent gains. The price failed to reclaim the $90,000–$90,500 band, rolled over, and slid through $88,500 before briefly dipping under $87,000. Buyers did show up around $85,000, but the rebound so far looks more like stabilization than a clear trend reversal. Bitcoin dips hard, finds a bid near $85,000（h3） BTC’s latest move lower began when it couldn’t build follow-through above $90,000 and $90,500. Once that upside stalled, sellers took control and pushed price down through $88,500. The slide accelerated enough to spike below $87,000, but the market didn’t free-fall. Bulls defended the $85,000 zone, printing a low at $85,151. Since then, Bitcoin has been consolidating below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the drop from the $93,560 swing high to the $85,151 low — a clue that the bounce is still shallow and that sellers haven’t fully backed off yet. Structurally, BTC is still on the back foot: It’s trading below $88,000, and It remains below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average, keeping short-term trend pressure pointed downward. Resistance is layered, and $89,000 is the problem area（h3） If bulls try to turn this into a recovery, they’ll have to climb through multiple ceilings in quick succession. First, BTC faces resistance around $87,150, followed by a more meaningful barrier near $87,500. From there, the market’s attention snaps back to $88,000 — the level BTC just lost and now needs to reclaim. A close back above $88,000 would improve the tone, but it doesn’t solve the bigger issue: there’s a bearish trend line on the hourly BTC/USD chart (Kraken feed) with resistance near $89,000, which also lines up with the next technical hurdle. If BTC can push through $89,000 and hold, the rebound could extend toward $90,000, with follow-through targets at $91,000 and $91,500. But until price clears that $88,000–$89,000 zone, rallies are at risk of being sold rather than chased. If BTC fails to reclaim resistance, the downside path is clear（h3） The near-term bear case is simple: if Bitcoin can’t climb back above the $87,000 area and keep traction, sellers may attempt another leg lower. Support levels line up like this: Immediate support: $85,500 First major support: $85,000 Next support: $83,500 Then $82,500 in the near term Below that, the major “don’t break this” level is still $80,000. If BTC slips under $80,000, the risk of acceleration to the downside increases significantly — not because it’s magic, but because it’s the kind of psychological and structural level that tends to trigger forced de-risking. Indicators: momentum still leans bearish（h3） The intraday indicators aren’t offering much comfort yet: Hourly MACD is losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI remains below 50, suggesting sellers still have the upper hand on short timeframes. So while the $85,000 defense held for now, the market hasn’t flipped bullish — it’s just stopped bleeding.
