Solana Drives Growth in Real-World Assets and Faces Cyberattack on Across Bridge
Solana records a monthly growth of 233.58% in real-world assets, while Across Protocol announces an attack on its implementation on this network, with no impact on user funds.
What happened
Solana stands out as the fastest-growing network in the real-world assets (RWAs) segment, with an average monthly market capitalization increase of 233.58%, according to information published by Solana's official account on July 17, 2026. This growth reflects a significant increase in the adoption of the network for tokenizing tangible assets.
On the other hand, Across Protocol, which operates a bridge on the Solana blockchain, reported suffering a cyberattack on its implementation on this network the same day. Despite the intrusion, Across confirmed that user funds were not affected and that all bridge transactions were completed successfully. However, deposit operations on Solana were temporarily disabled to mitigate risks.
Meanwhile, Solana continues to foster its ecosystem with privacy-related events, such as the broadcast of "The Privacy Show," where experts discuss privacy aspects on Solana.
Why it matters
The remarkable growth in real-world assets on Solana demonstrates this blockchain's ability to integrate tangible goods into the digital ecosystem, establishing itself as an attractive platform for tokenization and digital asset management. This type of growth can encourage greater institutional interest and amplify blockchain use in traditional financial sectors.
The attack on Across Protocol on Solana, although with no direct impact on users, highlights the importance of security in interoperability infrastructures between blockchains. Bridges are critical points that require constant attention to avoid vulnerabilities that could affect trust and technology adoption.
Activity around privacy on Solana also indicates a focus on strengthening key aspects of user experience and data protection within the ecosystem.
What remains to be confirmed
There are no specific public details about the technical nature of the attack suffered by Across Protocol or the exact measures adopted to prevent future incidents. Additionally, no information was provided about when deposit operations on Solana for this platform will resume.
