Solana Sponsors the World Series of Poker, Enabling Crypto Entry Fees and Payouts
Summary
Solana Foundation is partnering with the World Series of Poker to let players buy into WSOP events with SOL or Solana-based stablecoins through MoonPay, with zero processing fees. Stablecoin payouts will begin in December at WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas. The deal is framed as a way to make poker payments faster, cheaper, and more accessible for international players, with instant winnings and borderless transfers as key selling points. Solana will also become the official presenting sponsor of the 2026 WSOP and WSOP Paradise, with branding across broadcasts and event materials. The groups plan to develop future on-chain poker products as part of the collaboration.
