Solana is taking center stage at the Solana Accelerate 2025 Conference, with bold predictions from SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci. He believes Solana isn’t just another blockchain—it’s poised to become the future backbone of global finance.
Solana Could Slash Global Transaction Costs
Scaramucci pointed to a staggering statistic: over $7 trillion is spent annually on transaction verification worldwide. According to him, Solana’s fast, low-cost blockchain infrastructure could dramatically reduce these expenses. Unlike other blockchains, Solana has the speed and scalability to support real-world financial use cases—fast enough, he claims, to revolutionize how global finance operates.
He went so far as to compare Solana to Bitcoin, but with a focus on real-world assets like stocks, bonds, and even IPOs. The concept of “on-chain IPOs” could eliminate the need for traditional banking infrastructure, making it easier and cheaper for individuals around the world to invest and participate in capital markets.
Institutional Interest and a New Era for Retail Investors
Scaramucci isn’t alone in his optimism. He revealed that major financial players, including JPMorgan, are keeping a close eye on Solana’s development. He predicts a wave of institutional adoption as Solana enables features familiar to traditional finance—staking, lending, and yield earning—all in a decentralized environment.
Adding to the momentum, Solana Foundation leaders say tokenization could help turn almost anyone into an investor. By converting assets into blockchain tokens, more people—especially retail users—could access investment opportunities that were once reserved for the wealthy or well-connected.
Scaramucci is so confident in the platform’s future that he’s writing a new book titled “Solana Rising,” which will explore how Solana could reshape traditional finance from the ground up.
As excitement builds, one thing is clear: Solana is no longer just a cryptocurrency project—it’s aiming to become a core infrastructure for the financial systems of tomorrow.
