Solana president Lily Liu's bold vision for Solana

At Consensus Hong Kong 2026, Solana Foundation President Lily Liu discussed her vision for "Internet Capital Markets" with Michael Lau. Liu argued that blockchain's primary strength is in finance and markets, advocating for the tokenization of all global assets to create a unified, global capital formation marketplace accessible for everything from daily payments to high-frequency trading. She stressed that this technology should empower non-crypto projects globally by democratizing access to talent and capital. Liu identified Asia as crypto's "core market," not a frontier, due to its historical roots and large user base. Furthermore, she emphasized that sustainable value accrual for token holders must be driven by real network and application usage, prioritizing revenue-focused metrics over governance tokens.
