ChainCatcher news, Multicoin Capital founder Kyle Samani stated in his latest Solana investment paper that Solana is the leading public chain supporting internet capital markets. Furthermore, Solana, as a technology, can outperform major traditional finance (TradFi) participants (including NYSE, NASDAQ, CME, JPM, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley in financial markets, as well as Visa and Mastercard in payments) on core performance metrics such as latency, while retaining core blockchain attributes that TradFi has never offered (atomic composability and permissionless access for users, developers, and validators). Most importantly, the Solana ecosystem is capable of achieving both a 90-99% reduction in end-user financial service fees and a higher total market capitalization than existing TradFi enterprises.Samani also mentioned that the Solana ecosystem is fully committed to realizing the vision of internet capital markets. Solana simultaneously improves execution for market makers through conditional liquidity and enhances acceptance through multiple concurrent leaders. Additionally, the Solana ecosystem is horizontally expanding its TAM (by supporting a wider range of TradFi and crypto-native assets) and vertically expanding its TAM (by capturing some MEV from the numerous financial services built on Solana).
