New from @glxyresearch: Solana’s Next Chapter: Laying the Foundation of Internet Capital Markets by @Uptodatenow.
If Solana sustains its execution cadence, it could help bring the global financial system onchain. Here’s what you need to know 🧵
Just two years ago, Solana was rebuilding credibility after the FTX collapse.
Now, it’s executing one of crypto’s fastest transformations, turning speculative momentum into institutional-quality market infrastructure.
That shift didn’t happen overnight.
A year of memecoin-driven activity stress-tested the system, attracting developers and liquidity. Core teams used that window to harden the stack, stabilizing slot times, optimizing validators, and aligning execution with market design.
Three forces are shaping that transition:
▪️ Technical resilience — upgrades like Agave 3.0, Firedancer, and Alpenglow push sub-second finality.
▪️ Economic traction — Solana leads in DEX volumes, network, and application fees.
▪️ System integration — ACE, APE, and DoubleZero align performance with market design.
Institutional adoption is following.
Equities are being tokenized on Solana, digital asset treasury companies are running validators, and staking demand remains strong with liquid staking still an untapped lever for capital efficiency.
Solana’s challenge now is durability.
Each upgrade raises both performance and complexity.
If execution continues at this pace, @glxyresearch believes Solana could anchor the next phase of onchain market infrastructure.
