Fidelity’s Cynthia Lo Bessette and @driftprotocol’s Davo 👾 (Ecosystem Arc) explored the convergence of TradFi and DeFi. Cynthia touched on how internet capital markets could bring more tradable digital assets to client portfolios and generate yield in new ways for financial institutions.

Solana is becoming the blockchain of choice for internet capital markets — open, highly liquid, and built for velocity. Highlights from Kraken, Fidelity, r3, and more at Accelerate 🧵

What are internet capital markets? @akshaybd: Markets that work better for everyone. Where anyone, anywhere can issue, trade, and own assets — limited paperwork, no borders, no multi-day settlement delays. All you need is an internet connection and Solana's open network.

The best assets want to be everywhere. Internet capital markets enable that — and @krakenfx is moving fast. @marklg revealed Kraken’s plans to bring tokenized equities such as Tesla and NVIDIA shares to Solana in partnership with @BackedFi via @XStocks.

.@profplum99 introduced a bold new concept: fiduciary tokens. Fiduciary tokens aim to programmatically maintain investor protections and compliance features while reducing operational friction. Token extensions on Solana are a first step towards making this a reality.

.@rleshner’s vision: going public on the internet. @superstatefund’s Opening Bell platform will enable companies to issue equities on Solana. Jason Urban (@galaxyhq) & @laine_sa_ (@solstrategies_) joined Robert to break it down, with Jason discussing the possibilities that emerge from using tokenized stocks as DeFi collateral.

r3’s Corda — used by HSBC, SDX, and Euroclear to move $10B+ in tokenized assets — announced an integration with Solana. r3 CEO David Rutter joined @calilyliu, sharing how blockchains democratize access to assets typically reserved for institutions.

Internet capital markets work for everyone, everywhere. If we execute well — they will be faster and fairer than traditional market rails 🫡 Interested in tokenizing stocks or RWAs on Solana? Access the 26 page tokenized equities report:
