Solana Foundation Chair: Funds and Assets Entering a Token Supercycle

On September 2, Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, stated that funds, assets, and ownership are migrating towards all-weather internet infrastructure, forming a long-term token supercycle. Tokenization is not just about moving assets onto the blockchain; it will also change the assets themselves, allowing value to be issued, held, financed, and traded in a market that never closes. She pointed out that stablecoins have proven that funds can flow onto the blockchain globally, financial institutions are pushing for asset tokenization, and blockchain infrastructure is beginning to meet the demands of real economic activities for speed and cost, while AI economic agents require programmable money. With these factors converging, any value with clear ownership could be tokenized, gaining broader distribution, financing, and trading channels. Over the past year, the trading volume of Real World Assets (RWA) on Solana reached hundreds of billions of dollars, covering tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds, stocks, and private credit; during the same period, stablecoin transfers exceeded $4.7 trillion. Liu believes that tokenization can allow more investors to overcome geographical, minimum investment, and qualification restrictions, and enable their held assets to be used for collateral or generate returns. Although the current on-chain market size is still far below that of traditional markets, the relevant infrastructure could potentially reach 5.5 billion internet users worldwide in the future.
