Chairman of the Solana Foundation: SOL spot ETF has seen a net inflow of nearly $1 billion in a bear market, and DAT company will act as a bridge connecting Solana and the public market

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

Today, it is imperative for every institution to formulate a digital asset strategy. 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 handles $2 trillion in merchant payments each year, has also chosen Solana. Other institutions are following suit.

Of course, ETFs are a major theme this year. We have finally welcomed the physically-backed Solana staking ETFs—they made a significant entry into the Solana ecosystem about six weeks ago, and in just six weeks, the assets under management have approached $1 billion. While the overall market has performed poorly, we have seen continuous net inflows for three consecutive weeks. Six physically-backed Solana staking ETFs have already been listed in the U.S. market.

Another important theme this year, though somewhat controversial, is DAT (Decentralized Asset Treasury). Many view 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 be a long-term ecosystem company, serving as a bridge to connect Solana with the public market, building infrastructure, asset management systems, and integrating all these functions."
