Why Price Discovery Will Move Onchain Within 3 Years | Saeed Badreg

Sunrise turns Solana into a launchpad for issuer assets, proving on-chain listings can create liquid markets and rival centralized exchanges.

Key Takeaways

Sunrise provides turnkey cross-chain distribution to Solana, supporting native and wrapped listings via Wormhole/NTT and enabling issuers to deploy canonical contracts and reach Solana users.
On-chain price discovery and liquidity can outcompete CEXs; Monad’s launch (10,000 Solana holders in 72 hours, top-three volume driver) shows on-chain listings scale quickly.
Listing discipline matters: enforce listing thresholds, require product and community, and prioritize teams that understand liquidity, fragmentation, and market formation.
Token launches should be global, reduce cross-chain friction, let users invest where they already are, balance new vs. existing tokens, and use incentives sparingly.
Sunrise’s roadmap targets tokenized securities and commodities with regulator and asset-manager collaboration; expect growing on-chain trading and TradFi integration.
Hire founders and teams who build technically solid products solving real user problems and who possess strong go-to-market skills: marketing, community, dev-rel, onboarding.
