Solana leans into tokenization and payments at Hong Kong’s Accelerate APAC event

From ETFs to stablecoins to AI infrastructure, Solana’s pitch in Hong Kong was clear: less memecoin mania, more internet capital markets. What to know : At Solana’s Accelerate APAC event in Hong Kong, builders and speakers framed the network as the execution layer for 24/7 “internet capital markets” in Asia, enabling trading, lending and settlement without traditional intermediaries. The conference struck a distinctly institutional tone, with panels on SOL ETFs, tokenized securities, stablecoin payment rails and regulated products featuring major asset managers and infrastructure firms such as Mirae Asset, ChinaAMC, CME Group, Fireblocks and Cumberland. Amid a market downturn, discussions focused less on hype and more on practical issues like compliance, custody, scalable stablecoin infrastructure, user-friendly wallets and tokenization systems robust enough to withstand regulatory scrutiny.
