A new chapter in London's capital markets
As the UK considers how to retain capital, listings, and talent in London, the arrival of Breakpoint comes at just the right time. By bringing former Prime Ministers, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as the chairmen of Revolut and Standard Life onto the stage of Breakpoint, this issue is directly brought to the attention of investors, payment companies, and builders – they will be the ones to decide where the next wave of financial infrastructure will be built.
Solana Foundation The chairman stated: "The next generation of capital markets will operate around the clock, settle transactions in seconds, and be accessible to anyone with an internet connection. The decisions regarding where these markets will be established are being made right now." Breakpoint This event brings together UK policymakers and leaders from the City of London with the founders who have already issued tokenized stocks, stablecoins, and payment networks on Solana. London indeed has a chance to become the place where this future is built.
Agenda – Super Cycle: Today and Tomorrow
On Day 1, “The Supercycle, Today” will explore institutional assets that have already been deployed on the blockchain and are actually in operation on Solana: stablecoins, payments, tokenization of real-world assets, as well as the macroeconomic forces that drive the accelerated development of financial infrastructure on the chain.
On day 2, “The Supercycle, Tomorrow” will look ahead to the next steps: AI agents, consumer-grade applications, new forms of ownership, and entirely new markets driven by programmable capital.
“Token Supercycle has already begun. Come here to obtain alpha, and build it on Solana.”
