Solstice Fundamentals: TVL $398 million and Institutional Background
As of May 25, 2026, Solstice protocol’s TVL was $397.92 million, and USX is one of the largest synthetic stablecoins on Solana. In the three days before the TGE, Bullish (NYSE: BLSH), listed on the New York Stock Exchange, allocated funds to Solstice’s eUSX yield strategy, pushing TVL above $400 million and adding more than 30 institutional investors.
