Chair of the Solana Foundation Proposes 'Universal Basic Ownership' in the AI Era

According to ME News, on April 21 (UTC+8), Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, spoke at the “2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival,”现场 reported by Foresight News, stating: “Today, users participating in global capital markets still face many constraints. The key to reducing transaction friction lies in the widespread adoption of stablecoins and the ability to match asset demand with supply in near real time. Some argue that with the advancement of AI, all of us will lose our jobs and have no choice but to rely on welfare. I believe there is another path beyond increasing dependency on welfare—that is a global perspective centered on ‘universal basic ownership.’” Lily Liu further added: “As long as individuals can access capital markets, everyone can own a share of the future and truly become part of it. The role of blockchain is this: with just a smartphone, anyone can hold the right to participate in shaping society’s future. This is the fundamental property right of the digital age. Solana has been building infrastructure for both the settlement and execution layers.” (Source: Foresight News)
