Lily Liu, chair of the Solana Foundation, stated that capital, assets, and ownership are migrating to round-the-clock internet infrastructure, forming a long-term token super cycle. She emphasized that tokenization not only moves assets on-chain but transforms them, enabling value to be issued, held, financed, and traded in a never-closing market. Liu pointed to stablecoins as proof that funds can flow globally on-chain, with financial institutions pushing assets onto blockchain infrastructure that now meets real economic demands for speed and cost. Additionally, AI economic agents require programmable money. When these factors converge, any value with clear ownership could be tokenized, gaining broader distribution, financing, and trading channels. In the past year, Solana saw hundreds of billions in RWA trading volume, including tokenized U.S. Treasuries, equities, and private credit, while stablecoin transfers exceeded $4.7 trillion. Liu said tokenization can also help investors overcome geographic, minimum investment, and qualification barriers, and allow assets to be used as collateral or generate yield. Although the current on-chain market is still far below traditional markets, the infrastructure could eventually reach 5.5 billion internet users worldwide.
Token Super Cycle Underway
Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu put out a statement arguing that capital, assets, and ownership are moving toward 24/7 internet infrastructure, creating a long-term token super cycle. Her point was simple: tokenization is not just about placing assets on the blockchain. It changes the assets themselves, making it possible for value to be issued, held, financed, and traded in a market that never shuts.
Tokenization Reshapes Assets
Liu said stablecoins have already shown that funds can move globally on-chain, while financial institutions are pushing assets onto the chain, and blockchain infrastructure is starting to hit the speed and cost needs of real economic activity. And AI economic agents need programmable money. Put those pieces together, she argued, and any value with clear ownership could be tokenized, opening wider distribution, financing, and trading channels.
Solana Ecosystem Data: RWA and Stablecoin Scale
In the past year, Solana has recorded hundreds of billions of dollars in RWA trading volume, including tokenized U.S. Treasuries, equities, and private credit. In that same stretch, stablecoin transfer volumes topped $4.7 trillion. Liu said tokenization can also let more investors get around geographic, minimum investment, and qualification barriers. And it can let the assets they hold be used as collateral or earn yield.
Outlook: Reaching Global Internet Users
But even though the current on-chain market is still much smaller than traditional markets, the infrastructure tied to it could one day reach 5.5 billion internet users worldwide.
