London's next chapter in capital markets

Breakpoint arrives as the UK weighs how to keep capital, listings, and talent in London. Bringing a former Prime Minister, a former Chancellor, and the chairs of Revolut and Standard Life onto the Breakpoint stage puts that question directly in front of the investors, payment companies, and builders who will decide where the next wave of financial infrastructure is built.

“The next generation of capital markets will run around the clock, settle in seconds and be open to anyone with an internet connection, and the decisions that determine where those markets are built are being made now,” said Lily Liu, President, Solana Foundation. “Breakpoint brings the UK policymakers and City leaders shaping those decisions together with the founders already issuing tokenized equities, stablecoins and payment networks on Solana. London has a real opportunity to become the place where that future is built.”

Program: The Supercycle today and tomorrow

The program frames the Token Supercycle through what is already moving onchain and what comes next.

Day 1: The Supercycle, Today examines the institutional assets already moving onchain and live on Solana: stablecoins, payments, tokenized real-world assets, and the macroeconomic forces accelerating onchain financial infrastructure.
Day 2: The Supercycle, Tomorrow explores what comes next: AI agents, consumer applications, new forms of ownership, and entirely new markets enabled by programmable capital.
