“We’re actually getting tokenized shares of SpaceX available on Solana day one instantaneously on the IPO day itself...
You just need a Solana wallet, such as Phantom or Solflare, to access one of the hottest IPOs to date.”
— Pedro Miranda, Head of Consumer at the Solana Foundation5.5 Billion People Are the Market | Lily Liu, President of the Solana FoundationSolana2026-09-17 | Solana Foundation President Lily Liu on why tokenization isn't a market cycle:
"I think what we're in the midst of right now is we have this thesis around the token super cycle, which is that everything of value is becoming programmable.
You've got money, assets, ownership and markets... always going to be moving towards the largest market. And that largest market is the internet capital market.
This is not something I think is just a market rally... it's really a structural transformation of global capital markets."
— Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation on Squawk BoxHow Public Blockchain Could Change Financial Infrastructure, with Angus ScottSolana2026-09-17 | Angus Scott from the Solana Research Institute joins Ben on the latest House of Sol to talk about public blockchain, financial market infrastructure and what happens when the two converge.
They get into MEV, stablecoins, risk and regulation, why these problems look familiar, and how onchain infrastructure could change the dynamics of established financial networks.Solanas Biggest Opportunity | Kristin Smith from the Solana Policy InstituteSolana2026-09-17 | Kristin Smith, President of the Solana Policy Institute, on where Solana goes next:
"Solana is infrastructure for issuing and trading any kind of asset. And we want to bring more assets onchain.
The biggest market out there that we're most interested in is tokenized securities. I think it's like over 90% of tokenized equities are on Solana.
It's very easy to issue these right now. It's much harder to do the secondary trading in a way that Solana could enable."
— Kristin Smith, CEO of the @SolanaInstitute on @Crypto_In_America with Jacquelyn Melinek, Eleanor Terrett, and Gerald GallagherSolana RWAs Tripled in 5 Months | Vibhu Norby from the Solana FoundationSolana2026-09-15 | RWAs on Solana are fast approaching $3 billion:
“I think in January we were at about $800 million and I want to say now we’re very close to $3 billion, right. And so that’s like tripling in five months. The velocity is absolutely incredible there.”
—@SolanaFloor's Jack Dunham with Vibhu Norby, Solana Foundation Chief Product Officer at the Incrypted ConferenceThey Called It the Devil for 7 Years, Now Every US Bank Owns It | Solana Co-Founder Raj GokalSolana2026-09-15 | Solana co-founder Raj Gokal on why banks fought Bitcoin for years — then flipped:
“All the CEOs of all the major banks for 5 to 7 years talked about Bitcoin as if it was the devil... only a scam, only used for nefarious things.
Now every major bank supports Bitcoin. They own Bitcoin. They offer Bitcoin products. They talk about how decentralization is a good thing because they see that their customers want it, and if they don’t get on board, it’s going to pass them by.”
— Raj Gokal on the @beerbiceps podcastAlpenglow Is Coming | Solana Founder Anatoly YakovenkoSolana2026-09-14 | Solana Founder Anatoly Yakovenko on the upcoming Alpenglow upgrade:
"To go from 12 seconds to 400 milliseconds, we basically took a guess, because ignorance is bliss, that our idea would work without any proofs.
Only now do we have proof of protocols that can accomplish the same thing with academic guarantees that are equivalent to what Bitcoin can do...
A professor from Zurich called me up and said, I'm not 100% sure it will work, but this is how you would actually solve it.'
We hired him. And two years later, I think Alpenglow is about to be going live, which is like the next generation protocol."
– Toly on @ThePeelPod with Turner NovakWhy the London Stock Exchange Is Putting Its Biggest Names Onchain | Amira VallianiSolana2026-09-14 | Amira Valliani on tokenized stocks on Solana:
"We think about access to the stock market, yeah, you and me, someone who spends time in San Francisco or New York, we can access stocks when they're available to trade.
But we are in a global market. I'm the child of immigrants, my mom grew up in East Africa, my dad in Pakistan.
I don't know that your average East African or Pakistani has access to these stocks easily, and the idea is being able to create a global market where these assets are truly accessible."
— Amira Valliani, Head of Payments Growth at the Solana Foundation on Bloomberg TV (@markets)Why Ansem Is BULLISH on SolanaSolana2026-09-14 | Ansem why he's bullish on Solana:
"I am bullish on Solana. I think Solana needs to foster an ecosystem of applications that do well in diverse market sectors.
Right now, trading and memes generate a lot of the on-chain activity for Solana. And I think for Solana to grow and do really well, you're going to need builders in other areas.
I think what Metaplex is doing is really cool things... Phoenix Trade, Bulk Trade, those products and those teams are going to need to execute really well. Teams like TCG, Collector Crypt, they're going to need to continue to execute well."
— Ansem on the @ECOSYSTEMCALL with Simon Molitor and @BanksHasBankFaZe Banks: How I Started My Career in GamingSolana2026-09-14 | FaZe Banks on the $15 mic and hacking forum that started his whole career:
"I stumbled across some hacking forum that described line by line how to unlock achievements and get gamer pictures for free, which you would normally have to pay for... jailbreak the thing.
And at this time in 2008, YouTube's meta was all how to's, how to change a tire, how to cook an egg... So blew my mind that this didn't exist on YouTube. I looked everywhere for it on YouTube. It was nowhere to be found.
So I went to Radio Shack, I bought a mic for 15 bucks, made the video with the hyper cam step by step. And the video got like seven, 800,000 views. Connected my PayPal to it, got paid. I was never getting offline after that."

"What I think Solana's biggest moat is, is its community, its culture. That's what got it through the dark days of FTX, post-FTX.
The tech is great, but there are ways of building good tech, but you cannot artificially create a community and a culture like the one that we have."

In this episode of House of Sol, Spiko co-founder Paul Adrien talks tokenized money market funds, the Amundi partnership behind SAFO, what CFOs need from onchain treasury, and why Spiko is scaling on Solana.

AI agents pay for things constantly. Every inference call, every API request, every tool invocation. Paying for each one individually means a human approving every charge, settlement costs stacking up across millions of transactions, and most teams giving up and handing funds to a custodian.
Payment channels fix that. You authorize a spending limit once. The agent spends against it. Everything meters off-chain with signed messages, and the actual amount consumed settles onchain in one transaction. Unused funds go back to you. Nobody else ever holds the money.
In testing, payment channels processed 1 million payments per second across 100,000 wallets. That works out to more than 80 billion payments a day at roughly $0.000000000776 each.
Payment channels support x402 upto, x402 batch-settlement, and MPP session specs, so they slot into what teams are already building. Alibaba Cloud is live with them today on inference API endpoints.

So I’m giving away 0.1%, I believe, of the Ansem token supply. And it’s gonna be spread amongst some of the teams that win the hackathon.”

Hosted by Ben Brophy, the show sits down with financial institutions bringing real capital onchain.
Episode one starts with WisdomTree, and their read on what's coming next. Dovile Silenskyte, WisdomTree's Head of Digital Asset Research, makes the case that tokenized funds are on track to replace ETFs the same way ETFs replaced mutual funds. A growing share of global capital is purely onchain, and it wants onchain exposure to match.
The 12-month forecast: as institutions target a market-cap-neutral crypto allocation, currently around 1 to 2% and mostly in Bitcoin, expect more of that allocation to move into ecosystems like Solana, where the underlying activity, tokenization, and retail usage are compounding.

July 11th, 1995. His 10th birthday, first real round, the only time he'd get his dad, brother, and grandfather on a course together. That love for the game is why he couldn't stand watching golf apps lock everything behind a paywall.
GolfN is a loyalty rewards app for golf built on Solana, where golfers share in the value they create with no paywalls.

Solana Foundation will serve as the official Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 World Series of Poker.
For the first time in WSOP history, players can exclusively enter into tournaments with Solana, powered by Moonpay starting with the summer event in Las Vegas. Crypto purchases carry zero processing fees.
This December at WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas, winners can receive settlements in stablecoins on Solana. For international players, that means faster payments and near-instant access to their winnings without friction. Starting today, we’ll be streaming the WSOP on Solana’s X.
And there’s a lot more to come as we put digital money at the heart of the poker economy, including new co-developed products, IRL activations and more.

Chris Sinkey, founder Nightowl AI and Superteam USA memberHow Jito Thinks About CompetitionSolana2026-06-05 | Jito Foundation President on why JitoSOL remains the clear choice for institutions — and why they see Sanctum as a net positive for the ecosystem:
“85% of stake on Solana is actually native stake. LSTs remain only 15%... Sanctum is a very useful tool to get people to start considering using the LST in some format. And we think that is actually the biggest barrier. And so to the extent that we can work together to grow LST market share on Solana, then I’m confident that JitoSOL will capture a substantial share of that.”

“Building a perps DEX is insanely complicated. The team there is super cracked... We’re super excited to work with Phoenix and incorporate it. I think we will be able to help a lot with them bootstrapping the two-sided marketplace by bringing this pro retail audience to their platform.”

Everyone and their mother was launching a stablecoin...
With SoFi, I love the way in which they’re intentionally embedding their stablecoins specifically throughout their product suite. It’s not just a superficial tick box... genuinely, they are building the bank of the future and the stablecoin is a key component of that.”
— Maya Caddle, Business Development & Partnerships, Global Payments at the Solana FoundationHow Crypto Replaces the BankerSolana2026-06-04 | Solana co-founder Raj Gokal on how crypto replaces the banker:
“All the way back to the Wild West, when you got to a small town, there was always somebody who said, I’m going to be the guy that sits at the desk and records everyone’s balances...
He would lend at a little bit of a higher rate than what he was taking deposits at and paying out. And that’s how he made money.
Bitcoin was the first time that there was no desk. It’s just software that does all of that tracking.”

You don’t know who your power users are, what features are actually important to your product and growth.
But during a bear market, if you have even like 10, 20 users that are dedicated users that are constantly using your product... if you hyper understand what value your product brings to them and optimize it and keep making it better week over week, that’s where you’ll start seeing massive acceleration during the bull market.”
— Solana Founder Anatoly Yakovenko on the New Economies podcast with Ollie Forsyth

Whether that's agents issuing and borrowing onchain or commercial borrowers onchain, that access is globally distributed across every region, every type of borrower, and every type of asset." - Mary Gooneratne, co-founder of LoopscaleWhy Enterprises Are Picking SolanaSolana2026-06-03 | Sheraz Shere on why enterprises are picking Solana:
“What four years ago was our Achilles heel, has now become our strength. We are the most resilient blockchain. We have weathered huge load tests in production.
The Trump meme coin or the flash crash of 10/10... these aren’t like tests, like let’s do a load test. These are actual real world large events that you can’t plan for and that the network has proven itself.”
— Sheraz Shere, Head of Payments at the Solana FoundationJito Labs CEO: Why We Built JTXSolana2026-06-01 | Jito Labs CEO Lucas Bruder on why they built JTX — and who it’s for:
“There’s this class of crypto traders... they don’t really view themselves as crypto traders anymore. They’re traders. They want to trade narratives. They want to trade RWAs, perpetuals, prediction markets, and crypto assets via the same interface.
A lot of the front ends today, they target the average swapper or the meme coin sniper. The pro retail audience isn’t being served.”

“Today, between 2% to 30% of all commerce goes to the intermediaries. I think in 20 years, more than 25% of all marketplaces, all finance, all trading, all borrowing and lending, all payments will be happening on crypto-based networks where there are no intermediaries. That 2% to 30% will go down to almost zero.”Solana’s Partnership with SoFiSolana2026-06-01 | Maya Caddle on Solana's partnership with SoFi and banks coming onchain:
"We are more broadly excited about the relationship with SoFi. I think we're going to do some amazing things... there are banks that are coming on chain and they're looking for partners like a SoFi to work with and that would be one of my key measures of success."
— Maya Caddle, Business Development & Partnerships, Global Payments at the Solana Foundation30-Day Lag Times for Payment Should Not Exist | Catherine Gu from the Solana FoundationSolana2026-05-30 | Catherine Gu on why stablecoins are set to transform cross-border payments:
“If you look at things like receivables or accounts payable, we’re looking at 30 days, 40 days lag time for which money actually gets paid. None of those things should actually be true down the road. And this is where blockchain really comes in to power that new kind of financial rail...
Stablecoin is that instrument essentially to be conducted on that. So I would fully expect that there’s going to be a lot more traffic in terms of stablecoin usage for cross-border payments.”
— Catherine Gu, Head of Product, Digital Assets at the Solana Foundation“We are optimizing for Solana to win” — Jito Labs CEO Lucas BruderSolana2026-05-30 | “We are optimizing for Solana to win. That’s the only thing that matters for us...
Solana needs to be the best place to trade any market that exists in the world. And that’s what we’re optimizing for.
We’re not really in the game of max extraction. It’s really about applications and users.”
