The source is a stablecoin contract or recorded native representation, while SOL is classified as native-asset. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.
