The Solana Economy.

Economies are typically thought of in the context of countries. Sometimes states or cities. They’re typically measured in GDP, but other metrics include balance of payments (trade surplus/deficit), inflation, sources of income, distribution of income and wealth, debt.

The concept of the economy must change as we shift into a world of global on-chain finance. Homogenous economies now exist across borders, beyond unified currency regions and individual markets and legislative environments. Economies are now bounded by their blockchain ecosystem.

Of these, Solana shows the most promise, the greatest growth, diversity, usability and traction. We need to think of Solana as an Economy, we should measure it as such.

As the world realizes this shift, that economies exist globally, that a blockchain economy is active 24/7 and simultaneously in Singapore and Sao Paolo, our worldview, our interpretation of money, markets, trade, production and even labour must change.

At @solstrategies this is foundational to our thinking and drives our own worldview. If you think America is the world’s greatest economy because it has opportunity, access, capital, liquidity and freedom… well that’s @solana.

Solana has the lowest cost to build your company, to shoot your shot.

Solana has the tightest spreads and rapidly growing stablecoin supply and Defi TVL.

Solana is pioneering new primitives for capital structures and instruments.

Solana is decentralized and censorship resistant.

The future is the Solana Economy.

The Solana Economy is our future at @solstrategies

1/ More users. More transactions. More adoption.

As the Solana economy grows, we believe its economic model should mature alongside it, creating a stronger link between economic activity and value capture.

That’s why we will be voting in favour of SIMD-0550 and SIMD-0553. 🧵

[Michael | SOL Strategies @michael_hubbard]

Two new Solana Governance Proposals (SGPs) are live, the first ones using the new governance system.

1. Double Disinflation Rate - increase the rate at which inflation reduces from the current 15% per year to 30% per year
2. Inclusion & Resource Usage fee - pay a resource-based fee that is fully burned

We're evaluating both at @solstrategies and will publish our decision on how to vote on these in due course. Hope to see strong participation here!

Don't ask, do

[SOL Strategies @solstrategies]

No one asks permission to build on @Solana. No one can stop you from transacting on it either. In these ways, it’s similar to @Bitcoin.

But this week, Board Director @jonmatonis and CEO @michael_hubbard get into what makes Solana different... and maybe even better.

In 2010, Satoshi Nakamoto emailed @jonmatonis, urging him to start mining Bitcoin. 15 years later, Jon chairs the board at SOL Strategies.

In our new episode, he joins CEO @michael_hubbard to trace that email to co-founding the Bitcoin Foundation, and where he sees Solana headed next.

Discussing regulation with our chairman @jonmatonis

[SOL Strategies @solstrategies]

SOL Strategies Board Director @jonmatonis would rather see an imperfect Clarity Act pass than wait for a perfect one.

Because crypto regulation isn't a partisan issue, it's a business issue.

We don't want FTX to happen again.

@waldruupi @zensei @solana @anza_xyz @solana_devs @Blockworks yeah must be this, had to update stakewiz to account for this

[Michael | SOL Strategies @michael_hubbard]

@zensei @solana @anza_xyz @solana_devs This doesn't seem right unless many very large validators all changed their commission to 100% all of a sudden, issuance is flattish (slightly declining)

A trader funds a new wallet.

Before the first trade is even placed, the source of those funds, connected accounts and the wider strategy can already be traced onchain.

That is the reality of onchain trading today: public by default.

Today, that changes.

@HoudiniSwap is partnering with @TradingTerminal to bring private deposits, withdrawals and Houdini’s Multi-Swap functionality directly into the trading experience.

Through the integration, Terminal users can:

🔒 Fund accounts without a visible onchain link between wallets

⚡ Fund up to 10 wallets from one source with a single signature

🛡️ Keep separate wallets and strategies from being publicly connected

Private onboarding and offboarding are becoming the standard.

Houdini is helping make it happen.

@amiravalliani @solana SOL Inflation doesn't matter

[SOL Strategies @solstrategies]

15 years ago, Uber was taboo. Airbnb seemed crazy. Now, they're everywhere. Onchain privacy will be no different.

It's not secrecy. It's common sense. SOL Strategies, @HoudiniSwap and @JumperApp are partnering today for the private, democratized financial rails of tomorrow.

1,000 epochs on @Solana. 🎉

A huge milestone for the ecosystem and a reminder of how far Solana has come.

Behind every epoch are the builders, validators, engineers, founders, researchers, creators and community members who kept showing up, kept improving the network and kept shipping.

Across DeFi, RWAs, DePIN, payments, stablecoins, consumer apps, tokenized equities and infrastructure, Solana has grown into one of the most important ecosystems in crypto.

And the world is paying attention.

PayPal. Visa. Stripe. Mastercard. Western Union. Circle. SoFi.

Major names are moving closer to Solana rails across stablecoins, payments, settlement and onchain financial infrastructure.

Congratulations Solana. The next chapter is just getting started.
