Column Bank Integrates Solana for Default Stablecoin Transactions
Column, an FDIC-insured U.S. bank, has integrated stablecoin support directly into its banking infrastructure, allowing customers to transact with USDC and USDT seamlessly in real-time without intermediaries. The platform defaults to the Solana blockchain due to its high-speed capabilities for low-cost transactions, while also supporting Ethereum and other major chains. Solana's role as the default network highlights its growing influence in stablecoin infrastructure. Over $4.7 trillion in stablecoin volume was processed on Solana last year, with a circulating supply of around $14.7 billion by August 2026—tripling from the previous year. Column’s system eliminates traditional blockchain-banking intermediaries by placing both bank accounts and stablecoins on the same ledger, enabling instant conversions between digital assets and U.S. dollars.
