Solana (SOL) said Breakpoint 2026 will add Boris Johnson, Sajid Javid, Martin Gilbert and other financial and policy leaders to its London event.

Solana (SOL) Foundation said it has added another wave of speakers to Breakpoint 2026, broadening the London conference lineup with figures from UK politics, finance, payments and market infrastructure. The announcement matters because the event is being framed around the network’s effort to connect blockchain builders with institutions and policymakers in a major capital-markets center.

In the foundation’s October 27, 2026 announcement, newly added speakers include Revolut chair Martin Gilbert, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former Chancellor Sajid Javid and former White House digital assets adviser Patrick Witt. The list also names executives and leaders from Zelle, DTCC, Mastercard, Backpack, Bitwise, Barclays, Y Combinator, Jupiter and Helius. Breakpoint 2026 is scheduled for November 15-17 at Olympia London, according to Solana.

The foundation said the program is built around its “Token Supercycle” theme, which it says centers on stablecoins, tokenized assets, payments and AI-driven activity moving onchain. Solana’s notice splits the agenda into sessions on “The Supercycle, Today,” covering stablecoins, payments and real-world assets, and “The Supercycle, Tomorrow,” covering AI agents, consumer applications and new forms of ownership. The organizer also said additional speakers and the full agenda will be announced ahead of the event.

Solana President Lily Liu said in the announcement that “the next generation of capital markets will run around the clock, settle in seconds and be open to anyone with an internet connection,” and argued that decisions about where those markets are built are being made now.
