NOWPayments Publishes Enterprise Payout Data Comparing TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Solana
NOWPayments published payout data for TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Bitcoin and Ethereum, putting TRON first on value moved and BNB Smart Chain first on transfer count.
Why it matters
The figures describe NOWPayments' own client payout flow, not the overall activity of each chain, and the company is the only source for them. The four articles in this set add no independent measurement of the Solana speed average or the volume and transaction shares, and the release text available ends before the average TRON payout figure.

What happened
NOWPayments published data covering six months of its own enterprise payout activity on September 21st, 2026, in a Chainwire release issued from Tallinn, Estonia. The comparison covers TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Bitcoin and Ethereum on speed, volume and cost efficiency. TRON carried the largest share of payout value at 43.69%, more than twice BNB Smart Chain's 21.75%, while BNB Smart Chain handled the most individual payouts at 48.23% of transactions against TRON's 15.73%. Solana posted the fastest average payout at 1 minute and 45 seconds on 3.08% of volume and 3.86% of transactions, and the five chains together made up 94.04% of volume and 77.84% of transactions. Finbold carried the release first, followed by Brave New Coin, The Daily Hodl and CryptoPotato, each running the same Chainwire text, so no outlet in this set disputes the figures. The text available stops before the release gave the average TRON payout value, and the data covers NOWPayments' own payout flow rather than chain-wide activity.
