Armani Ferrante, CEO of Backpack, highlighted a strategic shift within the Solana ecosystem toward enhancing financial infrastructure. He noted Solana’s growing focus on high-throughput on-chain transactions, market structures, and settlements, which he described as the “internet capital market.” Despite a downturn in cryptocurrency prices, institutional interest remains robust, underscoring Solana’s potential as a neutral settlement layer.
Ferrante emphasized that the future of blockchain, including Solana, hinges on its ability to facilitate seamless asset transfers across platforms as standardized tokens, such as stocks and derivatives. This shift aligns with the broader trend of global finance transitioning on-chain, positioning Solana to benefit significantly in the long term. Standardizing assets and enabling cross-platform transfers could unlock broader adoption and participation from traditional finance players.
