What to watch

1. Regulatory approvals for stablecoins and tokenized assets in Japan; if granted, they could enable SBI Solana Global to launch new products and attract institutional users. Analyst inference
2. Growth of cross‑border settlement services using Solana’s low‑latency blockchain; success may drive higher transaction volume and increase demand for SOL tokens. Analyst inference
3. Expansion of tokenized real‑world assets (RWAs) like real estate or commodities; broader tokenization could create new revenue streams for both SBI and Solana and draw more capital into the ecosystem. Analyst inference
