The post Solana president Lily Liu’s bold vision for Solana appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

In a fireside chat at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, Solana Foundation President Lily Liu unpacked her “Internet Capital Markets” vision with moderator Michael Lau, Chairman of Consensus. Liu asserted that blockchains’ true strength lies in finance and markets, not utopian general-purpose tech. Liu envisioned tokenizing all world assets on-chain, enabling seamless access from everyday payments to high-frequency trading and creating a unified, global marketplace for capital formation. Liu traced crypto’s capital-raising evolution from early ICOs to rapid modern raises, arguing this extensible primitive should empower non-crypto projects and companies worldwide. Liu stressed democratising talent and capital formation, which is rare in most markets, as crypto’s core societal impact. Highlighting Asia’s pivotal role, Liu called it crypto’s “core market,” not frontier, given its Bitcoin origins and vast user/talent base. Liu championed revenue-focused metrics over governance tokens, insisting real network and app usage must drive sustainable value accrual to holders for long-term sovereignty and opportunity.
