Liu expressed on the X platform that instead of engaging in disputes over issues like 'one-click migration tools' and 'risk statements,' efforts should be directed towards expanding the overall market size. She highlighted that the current Solana lending market is approximately $5 billion, which is only a tenth of Ethereum's market and negligible compared to the multi-trillion-dollar scale of traditional finance. Liu emphasized that teams have the option to either compete against each other or aim to capture a larger share of the broader crypto and traditional finance markets, stating, 'The direction is up to us.' In related news, a Jupiter executive has admitted that the promotion of Jupiter Lend as having 'zero contagion risk' was inaccurate. ### Related Stocks - [HSDT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HSDT.US.md) - [ETHHKD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHHKD.VAHK.md) - [ETHUSD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHUSD.VAHK.md) ## Related News & Research - [General Event (CRYPTO) - Solana Accelerate - 05 May 2026](https://longbridge.com/en/news/282785203.md) - [Drift Protocol - Tether & Solana Recovery - 16 April 2026](https://longbridge.com/en/news/283035590.md) - [Better Crypto Buy Right Now: Ethereum vs. Solana](https://longbridge.com/en/news/283157986.md) - [Ripple’s XRP just launched on Solana](https://longbridge.com/en/news/283189469.md) - [Solana Mobile Seeker price prediction 2026–2032: Can SKR token sustain the bullish surge?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/282453362.md)
