Solana's ultra-low transaction fees comparison released: surpassing Base, BNB, and Polygon, becoming the preferred execution layer for high-frequency DeFi.

The latest on-chain fee comparison data shows that in mid-January 2026, among mainstream blockchain networks, Solana's median transaction fee ranks second lowest, only behind Avalanche, and is significantly lower than high-transaction-volume networks like Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Arbitrum. This result further highlights Solana's structural advantages in high throughput and low-cost execution layers. From a data structure perspective, Solana's fee curve has long been at the bottom of the logarithmic coordinate chart, indicating that its low fees are not a temporary phenomenon but are determined by its underlying architecture. The network's design, which features parallel execution and high TPS, allows it to absorb traffic spikes during increased transaction demand, unlike rollup-dependent networks that shift the pressure into higher per-transaction costs.

Solana Treasury Strategy Fails? US-listed Companies Hold SOL with Over $1.5 Billion Unrealized Loss

Latest data shows that publicly traded companies holding Solana as treasury assets are under significant accounting pressure. According to estimates based on disclosed acquisition costs and current market prices compiled by CoinGecko, these companies have collectively unrealized losses exceeding $1.5 billion. They hold over 12 million SOL, approximately 2% of the total supply, with SOL currently trading around $84. The losses are mainly concentrated among several US-listed companies, including Forward Industries, Sharps Technology, DeFi Development Corp, and Upexi, with a combined unrealized loss of over $1.4 billion. Since some companies have not fully disclosed their cost basis, the actual loss could be even higher. Although no forced sales have occurred yet, the capital markets have already "priced in" the risk, with their stock prices generally below the market value of their held tokens, significantly limiting their financing capabilities.

Ripple Custody Platform Upgrade: Added Ethereum and Solana Staking, Lowering Institutional Entry Barriers Further

Ripple announces the addition of Ethereum and Solana staking support to its institutional-grade custody platform, and through technical integrations with Securosys and Figment, provides banks and financial institutions with a more secure, compliant, one-stop digital asset management solution. This upgrade is seen as an important step for Ripple to transition from cross-border payments to a comprehensive blockchain infrastructure service provider. According to official disclosures, the new platform has integrated Securosys's Hardware Security Module (HSM), enabling secure management of private keys in both cloud and on-premises environments, meeting the high standards of regulatory agencies for asset security and audit compliance. At the same time, with Figment's node and staking technology, custodial clients can participate in PoS network staking without building their own validators, thereby earning on-chain rewards on mainstream public chains like Ethereum and Solana.
