Traders are increasingly turning to Solana [SOL] to manage Bitcoin [BTC] liquidity, with Wrapped Bitcoin [WBTC] showing a notable uptick in cross-chain activity. WBTC’s Q3 report reveals a 2.3% rise in income quarter-over-quarter, closing at $75.6k, reflecting growing engagement despite being far below last year’s Q4 peak of $2.45 million.
SOL Captures the Spotlight in BTC Flows
Among Layer-1 networks, Solana is leading the charge, hosting 30.6% of all on-chain WBTC users. Orca [ORCA], Solana’s largest WBTC/SOL DEX, demonstrates this dominance with $16.16 million in 24-hour trading volume and a doubling of holders to 55,000. These numbers highlight Solana’s emergence as a major BTC liquidity hub, attracting both retail and institutional traders.
Tokenized BTC Moves Freely Across Solana
Once tokenized, WBTC can seamlessly traverse Solana’s ecosystem, moving through decentralized exchanges (DEXs), automated market makers (AMMs), lending protocols, and yield farms. Traders are leveraging these capabilities to execute swaps, earn yield, and access lending opportunities efficiently. Solana’s infrastructure enables high-speed transactions with minimal fees, making it a more cost-effective alternative to the Bitcoin network, where transfers can range from $5 to over $50.

Scalable Infrastructure Drives Institutional Interest
Solana’s Layer-1 network can handle more than 65,000 transactions per second, eliminating congestion and allowing BTC to move at scale. With 1.7 million WBTC users now on Solana, the platform is increasingly attractive for institutional players looking to manage large-scale BTC liquidity efficiently. This on-chain flow positions Solana as the settlement layer for BTC, setting the stage for potential bullish momentum as institutional demand continues to rise.
You cannot make this up. The best form of Bitcoin is literally on Solana.
