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

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, stated at the Solana Breakpoint 2025 conference:

"Solana was the first blockchain platform to establish a policy research institute. Today, developing a digital asset strategy is essential for every institution. As these institutions enter the blockchain space, they are increasingly 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've finally seen the arrival of physically backed Solana-collateralized 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. Despite the overall market underperformance, we've seen net inflows for three consecutive weeks. There are already six physically backed Solana-collateralized ETFs listed in the US market alone.

Another important, albeit somewhat controversial, theme this year is DAT (Crypto Treasury Companies). Many view DAT as a short-term liquidity tool, but we hold the opposite view. This is because Solana is one of the few platforms that allows businesses to build both at the infrastructure and asset layers. We believe DAT companies will be long-term ecosystem companies, acting as bridges connecting Solana to public markets, building infrastructure, asset management systems, and integrating all these functionalities into a unified whole.
