Solana (SOL) is expected to put on-chain financial infrastructure connecting decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional finance at the center of discussion at TOKEN2049, which will be held in Singapore this October. With the participation of key figures from the Solana Foundation confirmed, attention is focusing on what role the Solana network can play in real financial markets, beyond its fast processing speed and low costs.

Solana Foundation President Lily Liu Listed Among 2026 Speakers

According to the official TOKEN2049 speaker lineup, Solana Foundation President Lily Liu has been listed as a speaker for the 2026 event. TOKEN2049 Singapore will take place from October 7 to 8.

Key Keyword: 'Wall Street'

A notable keyword among Solana-related sessions is 'Wall Street.' According to the official TOKEN2049 agenda, Akshay BD of the Solana Foundation will take the stage on the first day of the event under the theme 'Wall St. 2049: Everything Trades, Nobody Sleeps.'

The session title, meaning 'everything trades and the market never sleeps,' can be interpreted as a talking point showing how the trading hours and market structure of existing financial markets could change when they meet blockchain technology. However, the specific content of the remarks will only be confirmed on the day of the event.

In the blockchain market, the tokenization of traditional assets such as stocks and bonds, 24-hour trading, stablecoin-based payments, and on-chain asset movement are being discussed as key areas of new financial infrastructure. What role Solana can take amid these changes is what should be confirmed at this TOKEN2049.

DeFi Panel Also Scheduled: 'Can It Grow into Global Financial Infrastructure?'

DeFi is another axis. The official schedule includes a panel under the theme 'DeFi: The Race to Power Global Finance,' with a Solana Foundation official participating alongside Pendle and Kamino. The session will discuss whether DeFi can grow into infrastructure supporting global finance.

Considering that financial applications such as Kamino are emerging in the Solana ecosystem, interest does not stop at simply the SOL price or network processing performance. How far actual financial functions such as lending, trading, liquidity provision, stablecoins, and asset management can expand on Solana is emerging as an important evaluation factor.

Lily Liu's Message Draws Attention: 'No New Announcements Can Be Confirmed Yet'

Lily Liu's attendance is also noteworthy in this context. As President of the Solana Foundation, Liu has externally explained the expansion and real-world use of the Solana ecosystem. Attention is focused on what message she will deliver regarding Solana's entry into global financial markets at this TOKEN2049.

However, based solely on the officially released materials currently available, it cannot be confirmed that Lily Liu or the Solana Foundation will announce new services, partnerships, or technology updates at TOKEN2049. What has been confirmed so far is only her participation as a speaker and the topics of some sessions.

Nevertheless, the fact that Solana-related figures are directly raising 'Wall Street,' 'DeFi,' and global finance as talking points at this event is worth noting. Attention is focused on the messages to come out of TOKEN2049 on whether Solana can move beyond its existing image as a 'fast blockchain' and broaden its scope into a financial platform encompassing real asset trading, payments, and DeFi.
