Solana vs Visa is the canonical blockchain-payments comparison. Visa processes ~65,000 transactions per second at peak with a market cap around $500B-$600B. Solana claims 65,000 TPS theoretical with historical peaks closer to 3,000-5,000 actual sustained TPS. Market cap has ranged $60B-$120B in 2024-2026. The comparison is useful as both a technical benchmark (blockchain throughput vs payment rail throughput) and a market-cap framing (if Solana captures meaningful payment share, what valuation framework applies). Solana's actual payment-volume capture remains nascent — most Solana activity is speculative trading rather than commerce. But infrastructure positioning for potential payment use cases is the thesis.
