Solana Foundation Chairman: SOL spot ETFs have seen net inflows of nearly 1 billion USD against the market trend, and DAT will serve as a bridge connecting Solana and the public market.

ChainCatcher reported that Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, stated at the Solana Breakpoint 2025 conference: "Solana is the first blockchain platform to establish a policy research institute."

Nowadays, it is imperative for every institution to develop a digital asset strategy. As these institutions enter the blockchain space, they are choosing Solana. Western Union, which processes over $60 billion in remittance transactions annually, has chosen Solana. Pfizer, which handles $2 trillion in merchant payments each year, has also chosen Solana. Other institutions are following suit.

Of course, ETF is a major theme this year. We have finally welcomed physically-backed Solana staking ETFs—they made a significant entry into the Solana ecosystem about six weeks ago, and in just six weeks, assets under management have approached $1 billion. Even when the overall market performed poorly, we saw three consecutive weeks of net capital inflows. In the US market alone, six physically-backed Solana staking ETFs have already been listed.

There is another important theme this year, though somewhat controversial—that is DAT (crypto treasury companies). Many people see DAT as a short-term liquidity tool, but we hold the opposite view. Solana is one of the few platforms that allows enterprises to build both at the infrastructure layer and the asset layer. We believe DAT will become long-term ecosystem companies, serving as a bridge to connect Solana with public markets, building infrastructure, asset management systems, and integrating all these functions into one."
