The Solana Foundation’s 2027 roadmap called market microstructures the “most important problem in Solana today.” The team behind the Solana blockchain has released a long-term roadmap detailing their strategy to make the Solana blockchain the foundational layer for global internet capital markets (ICMs) by 2027. ICMs, a term coined by former Solana Foundation core team member Akshay, refers to a “globally accessible ledger where entities, currencies, and cultures are tokenized,” allowing “anyone with an internet connection access to capital markets.” Solana’s “original mission” was to build the “decentralized backbone” for ICMs, according to Solana’s new Internet Capital Markets Roadmap, shared with Cointelegraph.

Solana ranks fourth among blockchains by tokenized asset market share, trailing Ethereum, ZKSync Era, and narrowly behind Aptos. Tokenized assets on Solana crossed over $418 million, rising 140.6% year-to-date and narrowing the gap with leading competitors in the space, according to a recent report from Messari.

The following is a guest post and opinion from Michael Egorov, Founder of Curve Finance. As DeFi edges closer to mainstream finance, it must balance neutrality, security, and throughput.

Solana’s memecoin race gets a shakeup as LetsBonk overtakes Pump.fun in daily revenue, while TradFi and DeFi move closer to convergence. Pump.fun lost the top spot in the Solana memecoin launchpad rankings for the first time since its release, hinting at a shift in the memecoin sector.  As Cointelegraph previously reported, a newly created memecoin launchpad called LetsBonk flipped Pump.fun in daily protocol revenue, according to DefiLlama. While overall network activity shows a potential reshuffle instead of an expansion, some metrics indicate that Solana may be on the rise, with a potential expansion in memecoin activity.  In addition, decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi) may converge sooner than people think. Nelli Zaltsman, head of blockchain payments innovation at JPMorgan’s Kinexys, said this could happen in the next few years.  Read more
