Solana Foundation Hires Key Executives to Drive Blockchain Financial Infrastructure Growth

The Solana Foundation has made two key hires to drive the growth of its blockchain-enabled financial infrastructure. Rachel Conlan, a former Binance Global CMO and Chief Strategy Officer at the Solana Foundation, sees a new age emerging where money, assets, and ownership are migrated online. The Solana Token Supercycle is expected to see over $5 trillion in stablecoin volume in 2026 alone, with real-world assets exceeding $4.5 billion and tokenized equity supply surpassing $620 million.

Conlan's mandate is to turn Internet Capital Markets into adoption and drive the Solana Token Supercycle, leading strategy across institutional partnerships, ecosystem scaling, and go-to-market. Jamal Raees will work to accelerate Solana as payments infrastructure with businesses and payments companies.
