Mary Gooneratne: 2026 Outlook & Loopscale points Alpha!

We sit down with Mary from Loopscale live at Solana Breakpoint 2025 to unpack why Loopscale has quietly become one of the most important pieces of Solana DeFi infrastructure this year. Mary explains how Loopscale’s credit-first architecture is helping new assets scale without deep DEX liquidity, why RWAs and USD-backed products are stabilizing DeFi TVL even as SOL price fluctuates, and how Loopscale rebuilt trust after an early exploit to come back stronger than ever. We also dive into institutional adoption, the impact of regulatory clarity heading into 2026, concerns around ETF leverage and systemic risk, the SIMD-0441 debate, and whether crypto is losing—or evolving beyond—its original cypherpunk ethos.
