On December 16, StraitX—a cryptocurrency infrastructure firm—announced plans to launch two stablecoins on the Solana public blockchain in early 2026: XSGD (tethered to the Singapore Dollar) and XUSD (tethered to the U.S. Dollar). The company will collaborate with the Solana Foundation to promote the rollout.
At launch, users will be able to instantly convert SGD and USD directly on Solana’s chain—functioning as “on-chain forex trading.”
This marks Solana’s first integration of a Singapore Dollar stablecoin. Currently, the network hosts roughly $15.7 billion in stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. Dollar and Australian Dollar, but SGD was not previously supported.

Solana: Suffered DDoS Attacks Throughout the Past Week, But Did Not Impact Network Performance
On December 16, Solana issued an official statement noting that over the past week, the network has been targeted by continuous DDoS attacks—the fourth largest such incident in the history of any distributed system to date.

BlockBeats Note: A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack occurs when an attacker controls a large number of devices to simultaneously send massive volumes of requests to a target system, aiming to exhaust its network bandwidth or computing resources—resulting in system congestion, service disruptions, or performance degradation.
