On February 11, the Chair of the Solana Foundation, Lily Liu, shared her forward-looking insights on the “Internet Capital Markets” during a fireside chat at the 2026 Hong Kong Consensus Conference, alongside Conference Chair Michael Lau. Lily stated that the core value of blockchain should focus on financial and market innovation rather than utopian technological ideals. She envisions fully tokenizing global assets to enable seamless integration from everyday payments to high-frequency trading, building a unified global capital formation market.
Lily reviewed the development of crypto financing, from early ICOs to the current rapid fundraising models, emphasizing that blockchain infrastructure should serve non-crypto projects and enterprises worldwide, promoting democratized flow of talent and capital. She pointed out that this technology can bring greater efficiency and fairness to global markets, with significant potential to foster innovative projects and attract talent.
Regarding the importance of the Asian market, Lily believes that Asia is not only an early development hub for Bitcoin but also possesses a large user and talent base, making it a “core market” in the crypto space rather than just a frontier market. She emphasized that the success of blockchain projects should be measured by revenue and real-world applications, rather than solely by governance tokens. True networks and applications must generate sustainable value for holders to achieve long-term sovereignty and opportunity accumulation.
Lily Liu’s speech outlined the development direction for Solana and the broader blockchain ecosystem: through the digitization and globalization of capital markets, to promote deep integration of blockchain technology with the real economy, making crypto assets not only tools for trading but also vital engines for global innovation and capital formation.
