Odaily Planet Daily reports that Galaxy founder and CEO Mike Novogratz stated at the Solana Breakpoint conference: “As regulations become clearer, the industry has entered a phase where ‘products that users will actually use must be built.’ The value of crypto assets is driven by both community and actual growth, and the narrative must be supported by real use and innovation. Solana, with its high-speed performance, is considered a chain ‘born for the capital markets,’ and Galaxy’s collaboration with Jump is based on its capabilities in high-frequency infrastructure. The crypto market has been volatile this year, but I remain optimistic. Just this year, one of Galaxy’s clients completed a $9 billion Bitcoin sell-off, with early investors realizing some profits to diversify their portfolios. Meanwhile, a steady stream of new entrants is continuously buying Bitcoin. My participation in conferences in Abu Dhabi over the past few days has further reinforced my optimism. The Abu Dhabi Financial Week brings together top investors from around the world, including many financial giants. After interacting with these industry leaders, I am even more convinced that the global wave of embracing blockchain and digital assets is accelerating, not slowing down.”

Odaily Planet Daily reports 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. Today, developing a digital asset strategy is imperative for every institution. As these institutions enter the blockchain space, they are 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 finally saw the launch of physically backed Solana ETFs—they made a major debut 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 downturn, we have seen net inflows for three consecutive weeks. Six physically backed Solana ETFs have already been listed in the US market alone.” Staking ETFs. 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. 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.
