OpenSea has begun offering Solana token trading as part of its ongoing platform overhaul, marking a significant step in the platform’s transition toward supporting a multi-chain ecosystem.

This new feature—which is currently available to a select group of closed beta users—allows them to trade Solana-based tokens, including popular memecoins like Dogwifhat ($WIF) and Fartcoin ($FARTCOIN).

Whilst the initial focus is on Solana tokens, Solana NFT support is expected to return soon.

Solana NFT Support Returns to OpenSea

OpenSea initially supported Solana NFTs in 2022, but the integration saw limited success due to the rapid rise of Solana-native platforms like Magic Eden and Tensor, which now dominate the market.

According to data from analytics firm Tiexo, these platforms currently account for more than 87% of the Solana NFT trading volume. However, OpenSea’s renewed focus on Solana suggests the company is aiming to regain a share of this growing market.

OpenSea has confirmed that Solana NFTs will be added back to the platform in the near future and is expected to attract new users to the platform whilst offering existing Solana users a familiar interface for trading their digital assets.

Why is this significant for traders?

OpenSea’s large and established user base means greater exposure and liquidity for Solana-based NFTs. The integration will allow Solana collectors and creators to access one of the most popular NFT marketplaces, enhancing visibility for Solana projects and creators alike.

Whilst the addition of Solana tokens is a significant first step, the return of Solana NFTs will also be an important factor for users in the ecosystem.

With the upcoming feature, OpenSea is aiming to offer a seamless, cross-chain experience for both fungible and non-fungible assets, strengthening its role as a key player in the broader NFT market.
