“We define working as moving the $500 trillion securities market onchain.” Is a quote from Michael Marcantonio, Head of DEFI of Galaxy Digital LLC at Solana Breakpoint 2025 helps to reiterate the direction of DeFi for me.
This wasn’t about replacing Wall Street. It was about upgrading it. Moving real capital markets on-chain—equities, money markets, prime brokerage—using crypto rails that actually settle.
What stood out:
✅ DeFi framed as infrastructure, not ideology
✅ Tokenized public equities treated as real products
✅ Prime brokerage moving on-chain
✅ Solana positioned as execution and settlement layer
It felt less like a crypto narrative and more like a capital-markets roadmap.
