Solana's Shift: Assets Bridging to Access Meme Token Users and Liquidity

In a recent tweet, Wormhole co-founder Robinson Burkey spotlighted a major evolution in the blockchain space. Quoting Solana's official account, he noted the flip from users bridging to other chains for new assets to assets now bridging to Solana to tap into its massive user base. This shift is accelerating, and it's particularly exciting for the meme token world on Solana.

Burkey emphasized that issuing assets natively on other chains through tools like Wormhole or platforms such as Sunrise DeFi is key to unlocking more users and liquidity. He backed this up with some eye-opening stats that show Solana's pull.

First off, within just 24 hours of the $MON token—native to the Monad layer-1 blockchain—issuing on Solana, it amassed over 6,600 holders and racked up more than $70 million in trading volume. That's even outpacing platforms like Hyperliquid, highlighting Solana's vibrant trading environment, which is a hotbed for meme tokens.

Next, m0, the protocol behind stablecoins like MetaMask USD (mUSD) and USDN, moved a whopping $300 million in the last seven days using Native Token Transfer (NTT) via Wormhole. NTT is a tech that allows seamless token transfers across chains without wrapping, keeping things efficient and user-friendly.

And don't forget USDC, the popular stablecoin. In the last 24 hours alone, $65 million flowed through bridges like Portal and Mayan Finance, accounting for 65% of all Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) volume. CCTP is Circle's way of moving USDC natively between blockchains.

For meme token enthusiasts, this trend means more capital and users flooding into Solana. Meme tokens thrive on hype, liquidity, and community— all of which get a boost when big assets bridge over. Solana's low fees and fast transactions already make it a meme paradise, and now with tools like Wormhole making cross-chain moves easier, we're seeing even more integration.

This isn't just about stablecoins or layer-1 tokens; it's a signal for meme projects too. If you're building or trading memes, keep an eye on these bridging platforms. They could be the gateway to scaling your token's reach beyond one chain.

As Solana continues to "accelerate," as the original post puts it, the meme insider community has plenty to watch. Whether it's new assets like $MON finding a home here or stablecoins pouring in liquidity, the ecosystem is primed for more explosive growth.
