The president of the Solana Foundation outlined the vision for the "Internet Capital Market": the advantage of blockchain lies in finance and markets.

PANews reported on February 11th, citing CoinDesk, that Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu outlined her vision for an "Internet Capital Market" at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, emphasizing that the core advantage of blockchain lies in financial and market applications, rather than broad Web3 experiments. Liu pointed out that the true value of blockchain lies in building an open, tokenized capital market, enabling democratized access to and formation of global assets. She believes that all global assets should be put on-chain, allowing for seamless integration of everyday payments, high-frequency trading, and other scenarios within a unified global market, and empowering global non-crypto projects and enterprises to conduct efficient financing.

Liu positions Asia as a "core market" for the crypto space, believing the region has become an industry hub due to Bitcoin's early influence, large user base, and talent pool. She emphasizes that Solana aims to provide neutral infrastructure for billions of internet users. Regarding value creation, Liu advocates for using revenue generated from actual network and application usage as the core metric, rather than governance tokens. She believes that only by driving sustainable value return to holders through real-world use can long-term network autonomy and development opportunities be achieved.
