LI.FI has proposed the development of 1:1 stablecoin payment flows on the Solana blockchain. The proposal, which gained support from Solana, aligns with a period of rapid growth in cross-border digital asset activity.
Why it matters
Operators in international payments are seeing a sharp rise in stablecoin usage, creating new demand for infrastructure that facilitates efficient, direct transfers.
Cross-border stablecoin transfers reached $220.3 billion in the 12 months ending June 2026, marking a 77.5% increase over the $124.2 billion recorded in the previous 12-month period.
The players
LI.FI
A cross-chain liquidity and bridging aggregator that develops infrastructure for moving assets across different blockchain networks.
Solana
A high-throughput blockchain platform designed for decentralized applications and high-frequency financial transactions.
Visa
A global payments technology company that facilitates electronic funds transfers and is currently planning to implement stablecoin settlements.
The details
LI.FI is calling for the development of 1:1 stablecoin payment flows on Solana to streamline how cross-border assets move between parties. This strategy aims to improve the efficiency of blockchain-based settlements, a sector that is seeing significant activity from traditional financial players like Visa. The proposed 1:1 flow structure is designed to support the scaling of these international transfers by maintaining a direct exchange parity.

Market Landscape
The push for 1:1 stablecoin payment flows follows the broader adoption trend seen in Visa's stablecoin settlement program. This initiative indicates a shift toward maturing blockchain infrastructure to handle high-volume cross-border commerce.
Operators currently handling international settlements should monitor these infrastructure shifts as potential methods to reduce transfer costs and settlement times. Reviewing current liquidity providers for compatibility with emerging 1:1 stablecoin flows is a prudent next step.
The takeaway
The rapid 77.5% growth in cross-border stablecoin volume suggests that high-speed blockchain settlements are moving from experimental to operational status. Management teams should track the adoption of standardized payment flows on platforms like Solana to evaluate when to integrate digital assets into their treasury workflows.
