Solana Foundation President: Stablecoins Will Lower Capital Market Barriers, Advocates "Universal Basic Ownership" to Address AI Impact

Odaily News At the "2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival" on-site speech, Solana Foundation President Lily Liu stated that users still face many constraints when participating in the global capital market. The key to reducing transaction friction lies in the widespread adoption of stablecoins and the ability to match asset demand with supply in near real-time. Regarding AI, some believe that with the development of AI, we will all lose our jobs. We have no choice but to make everyone dependent on welfare. I believe that besides the increasing reliance on welfare, there is another way out, which is a global vision centered on 'Universal Basic Ownership'.

Lily Liu further stated that as long as one can access the capital market, everyone can own a share of the future and truly become part of it. The role of blockchain is that with just a mobile phone, one can own the rights to participate in shaping society's future. This is precisely the fundamental property right of the digital age. Solana has been building infrastructure for the settlement layer and the execution layer.
