StraitsX, Solana launch XSGD, XUSD for seamless payments

XSGD, XUSD process over $23.2B (US$18B) in transactions across blockchains

StraitsX has partnered with Solana Foundation to launch its Singapore Dollar-backed stablecoin, XSGD, and US Dollar-backed stablecoin, XUSD, on the Solana blockchain.

The launch of both coins is targeted for early 2026 and the integration will enable seamless SGD and USD settlement on Solana.

The collaboration aims to leverage the network’s high-speed, low-cost infrastructure for real-time global payments and digital commerce.

XSGD is currently live on Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Zilliqa, Hedera, and XRPL, while XUSD is available on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain.

Together, the two stablecoins have processed over $23.2b (US$18b) in on-chain transaction volume,

XSGD and XUSD both support the x402 standard natively, making them among the first stablecoins designed for automated agent-to-agent payments.

This capability will be carried over to Solana to accelerate adoption across emerging AI-driven use cases, according to the two companies’ announcement.

This marks the first time the Singapore Dollar and US Dollar ecosystems will be deeply bridged on the same chain, the press release said.

Major centralised exchanges are already in the pipeline to support Solana-native XSGD and XUSD, with StraitsX also working with leading decentralised exchanges (DEXs), AMM ecosystems, and Solana’s largest DeFi protocols to establish stablecoin liquidity pools and lending markets.

“Stablecoin adoption is increasingly driven by users and businesses who expect payments to be instant, low-cost, and available everywhere,” said Tianwei Liu, CEO and Co-Founder of StraitsX.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
