Solana Foundation’s Post

Institutional Finance Embraces Solana: Insights from QuickNode's Solana Institutional Day 🏢 Nick Ducoff, Head of Institutional Growth at Solana Foundation joined QuickNode's Solana Institutional Day in NYC last week, where institutional finance met blockchain. The executive briefing attracted representatives from CME Group, JPMorgan, and Fidelity. From ETFs and compliance frameworks to stablecoins and technical infrastructure, the discussions demonstrated why Solana's speed, scalability, and liquidity make it a blockchain of choice for institutional applications — especially for real-world asset tokenization in a shifting regulatory environment for the crypto industry in the USA. Solana could serve as the home for "Internet Capital Markets” — a blockchain-based financial system that democratizes access to finance and enables open participation in the ownership economy. The early stages of this internet financial revolution are unfolding now, and could transform how capital markets operate for decades to come. A special thanks to the exceptional speaker lineup who shared their insights: — Chris Bair, Strategic Lead at QuickNode — Christine Moy, Head of Digital Assets at Apollo Global Management, Inc. — Rebecca Rettig, CLO at Jito Labs — Hayden Tsutsui, Strategy at Jito Foundation — Victor Rohlfs, Senior Solutions Architect at QuickNode — Jon Ma and Anthony Yim, Co-founders of Artemis — And of course, our very own Nick We look forward to continuing these valuable conversations as more institutions discover the transformative potential of Solana. See you in New York City this May at the Accelerate Conference from May 19th-23rd! 🗽
