Solana: The Fastest Blockchain You’ve Never Fully Understood

Solana isn’t just a blockchain — it’s evolving into the backbone of modern finance. In this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, Nick Ducoff, Head of Institutional Growth at the Solana Foundation, explains how Solana is powering a new generation of financial infrastructure.

From the explosion of stablecoins and tokenized assets to the rise of crypto ETFs and institutional adoption, Ducoff breaks down how speed, cost-efficiency, and regulatory clarity are pushing Solana to the forefront of the digital asset revolution.

We also dive into the recent $19 billion crypto flash crash, Solana’s resilience during market extremes, and why Ducoff believes banks and global financial institutions will ultimately have to build on public blockchains to stay competitive.
