Promote with Leviathan NewsZero-fee WSOP buy-ins via MoonPay put Solana in a lane where cards and wires are already ugly: international players, big ticket sizes, fast settlement, and KYC at the door. The Bahamas payout leg is the sharper test, since stablecoin winnings turn this from checkout theater into treasury infra for a regulated gambling operator. Visa already used Solana for USDC settlement with Worldpay/Nuvei; WSOP is a better consumer-facing proof point if the rails survive chargeback, AML, and tax reporting reality.
