Solana Foundation Chairman: DAT will act as a bridge connecting Solana and the open market.

At the Solana Breakpoint 2025 conference, Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu stated, “Solana was the first blockchain platform to establish a policy research institute. Today, developing a digital asset strategy is imperative for every institution. As these institutions enter the blockchain space, they are choosing Solana. Western Union, which processes over $60 billion in remittances annually, has chosen Solana. Pfizer, which processes $2 trillion in merchant payments annually, has also chosen Solana. Other institutions are following suit. Of course, ETFs are a major theme this year. We finally saw the arrival of physically backed Solana staking ETFs—they launched in large numbers on the Solana ecosystem about six weeks ago, and within just six weeks, their assets under management have approached $1 billion. We have seen net inflows for three consecutive weeks despite the overall market downturn. Six physically backed Solana staking ETFs have already been listed in the US market alone. Another important theme this year, though somewhat controversial, is DAT (Digital Treasury Companies). Many people consider DAT…” While some view Solana as a short-term liquidity tool, we hold the opposite view. Solana is one of the few platforms that allows businesses to build both at the infrastructure and asset levels. We believe DAT (Data Access Platforms) will be long-term ecosystem companies, acting as bridges connecting Solana to public markets, building infrastructure, asset management systems, and integrating all these functionalities.
