Chair of the Solana Foundation: Stablecoins will lower barriers to capital markets; advocating for "Universal Basic Ownership" to counter AI disruptions

CryptoWorld News reports that Lily Liu, Chairwoman of the Solana Foundation, stated during the “2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival” that currently, users still face many constraints when participating in the global capital markets. The key to reducing transaction friction lies in the widespread adoption of stablecoins and the near real-time matching of asset demand and supply. Regarding AI, some believe that as AI develops, all of us will become unemployed. We have no choice but to rely on welfare assistance. I believe that besides the increasing dependence on welfare, there is another way out, which is a global perspective centered on “Universal Basic Ownership.” Lily Liu further explained that as long as one can access the capital markets, everyone can own a share of the future and truly become part of it. The role of blockchain is: as long as you have a mobile phone, you can hold rights to participate in shaping society’s future. This is the fundamental property right of the digital age. Solana has been building infrastructure for both the settlement layer and the execution layer.
