🚨 The convergence of public and private blockchains is finally here R3 and the Solana Foundation are collaborating to deliver internet capital markets. This is a global shift and now the missing pieces are coming together. 🌍⚡ For the first time, institutional TradFi and DeFi are converging on an enterprise-grade, public and permissioned consensus, directly on Solana - the world’s most active public blockchain. Together, we are creating financial infrastructure where RWAs can interact directly, securely and globally. Why it matters: ✅ DeFi performance & efficiency ✅ Greater openness ✅ Institutional compliance ✅ Broader liquidity pools and investor bases for tokenized RWAs ✅ Bridging permissioned + public systems R3 CEO David E Rutter commented: “This is more than a milestone; it’s a strategic realignment for the entire industry. We know DeFi isn’t coming to TradFi, so it’s up to us to build the connective infrastructure that links these two ecosystems. This is about adapting to deliver real-world utility, institutional-grade readiness, and shaping the long-term future of regulated markets.” Full announcement: https://lnkd.in/eYmUuxBz Lily Liu, Nick Ducoff #R3 #SolanaFoundation #DeFi #TradFi #RWA #internetcapitalmarkets

On the first day of Solana's Accelerate conference, our CEO David E Rutter spoke with Remy Blaire and FINTECH.TV on the strategic collaboration between R3 and the Solana Foundation. In the interview, David Rutter explains how the maturation of DeFi and increasing regulatory clarity made this the perfect time for R3 and Solana to bring the TradFi and DeFi worlds together. This market evolution is allowing R3 and Solana to make the depths of TradFi markets available for public chains – unlocking access to liquidity and unprecedented reach. With this collaboration, R3 and Solana are taking the infrastructure and assets of traditional finance and re-shaping them into products compatible with the high-speed and openness of Solana’s onchain DeFi ecosystem.

The convergence of public and private blockchains is here – powered by R3 and Solana Foundation. After last week’s announcement, our CPTO Richard G Brown explains how this collaboration is transforming capital markets and what it means for the entire industry. 🔴 For over 10 years, Corda has been the go-to blockchain for finance – powering everything from Italy’s payment system to real-time balance sheet optimization for European banks. As the leading RWA tokenization platform, we are bringing tokenized assets where demand is highest. 🔴 The convergence between public and private blockchains allows tokenized RWAs to meet the demand in permissioned chains, accessing broader liquidity and new investor pools. With only 0.0026% of tokenized TradFi assets currently on-chain, this collaboration to deliver the first enterprise-grade permissioned consensus on a Layer 1 network is groundbreaking. 🔴 As the world’s most used public blockchain with unmatched performance, low fees and a thriving developer ecosystem, Solana is the first public chain that can credibly support the demands of TradFi. R3 and Solana are bringing TradFi and DeFi together by bridging institutional-grade infrastructure with the power of public networks. Built by R3. Powered by Solana. Shaped by institutions. This is the beginning of internet capital markets, at scale.
