B2C2 Chooses Solana as its Stablecoin Network
Crypto liquidity provider and trading firm B2C2 has announced the selection of Solana as its core network for institutional stablecoin settlement.
The company stated that it will now route and settle large-scale stablecoin transactions for its institutional clients primarily on the high-throughput, scalable Layer 1 blockchain.
B2C2 has been around since 2015 and is a purely institutional liquidity provider. The company serves a wide range of institutional clients, and recently announced partnerships with Standard Chartered Bank, infrastructure firm Anchorage Digital, and crypto exchange Bitget.
Last year, Robinhood also revealed in a SEC filing that B2C2 was one of its two primary crypto market makers.
While commenting on this decision, B2C2 Group CEO Thomas Restout stated that,
"Solana has earned its place as fundamental financial infrastructure. We're supporting real flow here because it delivers on the things that matter to our clients — speed, reliability, and scale. This is where settlement is heading."
Solana has become the primary network for several major institutions thanks to its speed, scale, and reliability. Late last year, Visa tapped the chain for USDC settlements for U.S. banks, while Mastercard, PayPal, SoFi, Western Union, and Worldpay also have Solana integrations.
In February, Solana became one of the most active networks for stablecoins, having notched $650 billion in transaction volume, more than double its prior monthly record.
This latest development comes after Solana’s stablecoin market cap roughly tripled in 2025, ending the year at around $15 billion, up from just above $5 billion.
However, Solana is still behind the leading stablecoin networks, Ethereum and Tron, by a significant margin.
According to B2C2, it will support Solana-based versions of USDC, USDT, PYUSD, USDG, USD1, EURC, and FDUSD. It will also support other stablecoins issued on Solana and supported by B2C2 from time to time.
Japan's SBI Holdings took a majority ownership position in B2C2 in 2020.
