In a move reflecting the continued expansion of digital assets into the entertainment and live gaming sectors, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) has announced the integration of Solana as an official payment option. According to reports, this partnership with MoonPay will allow participants to pay tournament buy-ins using SOL with zero additional fees. The initiative aims to leverage Solana's high-speed infrastructure to test crypto adoption in real-world payment scenarios, with future plans to offer prize payouts via stablecoins by 2026.
This integration comes at a time of significant growth for Solana, which has been competing closely with Ethereum in daily decentralized exchange volume. Per market data, adoption by major institutions like WSOP strengthens Solana's position as a low-cost alternative, especially after the network recorded a TVL growth of over 40% in the last quarter according to Messari research. This step follows similar trends in the iGaming sector, which increasingly favors high-efficiency networks to avoid congestion issues.
