Solana 在上海一座摩天大楼开设豪华新办公室，引发加密货币行业热议，有人猜测，中美科技竞争的加剧可能为希望进入中国市场的加密货币公司创造了机遇窗口。
Solana’s opening of a fancy new office in a Shanghai skyscraper has set the crypto industry abuzz, with some speculating that the intensifying US-China tech rivalry could be creating a window of opportunity for crypto firms looking to engage with the Chinese market.
据公司高管周三在社交媒体上发布的帖子显示，Solana 运营着全球最大的加密货币之一，已在上海浦东新区租用办公空间，并在该市开展高调广告宣传。
Solana, which operates one of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies, has taken office space in Shanghai’s Pudong district and launched a high-profile advertising campaign in the city, according to social media posts released by company executives on Wednesday.
Solana 基金会首席产品官 Vibhu Norby 在 X 平台的一篇帖子中写道，公司已租下“全球最高的可商用办公空间”，并附上一段视频，画面显示办公室可俯瞰黄浦江及沿江摩天大楼，包括 Aurora Plaza。
Vibhu Norby, Solana Foundation’s chief product officer, wrote in a post on X that the company had occupied “the highest commercially available office space in the world”, with an accompanying video showing an office with sweeping views of the Huangpu River and riverside skyscrapers including the Aurora Plaza.
视频还显示，办公室接待区装饰有 Solana 标志和中文“大开业”字样。
The video also showed an office reception area adorned with Solana logos and the Chinese characters for “grand opening”.
与此同时，Solana 基金会总裁 Lily Liu 在 X 平台发布了一张照片，显示该公司在上海花旗集团大厦外墙上的巨幅数字广告。
Solana Foundation president Lily Liu, meanwhile, posted a photo on X of a massive digital ad for the firm covering the facade of Shanghai’s Citigroup Tower.
网络上流传的视频显示，该加密货币公司周三晚间在上海的一艘游船上举办活动，Solana 联合创始人 Anatoly Yakovenko 出席。
Videos circulating online indicated that the crypto firm hosted an event aboard a riverboat in Shanghai on Wednesday night, with Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko in attendance.
Solana 未立即回应置评请求。根据 CoinMarketCap 的数据，周四该加密货币按市值排名位列全球第七大代币。
Solana did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The cryptocurrency was the world’s seventh largest token by market value on Thursday, according to CoinMarketCap.
Solana 的一系列高调举动在业内引起惊讶，鉴于中国对加密货币相关业务实施严格禁令。
The splashy moves from Solana came as a surprise for some in the industry, given China’s strict ban on crypto-related businesses.
“如此高调，有点出乎意料，”上海专注于区块链的 Mankun 律师事务所创始人兼主任 Liu Honglin 在周三的一篇社交媒体帖子中写道。
“So high-profile, a bit unexpected,” wrote Liu Honglin, founder and director of the blockchain-focused Mankun Law Firm in Shanghai, in a social media post on Wednesday.
虽然中国曾是许多加密货币企业的诞生地，但多年来北京的打击力度不断加大，迫使中国的加密货币公司和创始人纷纷出海。
While China was once the birthplace of many crypto businesses, an escalating crackdown from Beijing over the years has driven Chinese crypto firms and founders overseas.
币安创始人赵长鹏周四在X上表示，“看到Solana能够在中国做广告甚至租下办公室真是令人惊讶”。
Binance founder Zhao Changpeng said on X on Thursday that it was “amazing to see that Solana was able to advertise and even get an office in China”.
币安链——由全球最大加密货币交易所币安开发的区块链——“迄今为止还无法做到这一点”，赵说。
BNB Chain – the blockchain developed by Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange – “was not able to do this, so far”, Zhao said.
Solana在上海的引人注目的行动，先于它计划在本月在中国大陆举办的一系列活动。根据其官网，2026年Solana Accelerate中国巡回活动将于10月16日至22日在上海、杭州、深圳和北京举行。
Solana’s attention-grabbing moves in Shanghai preceded a series of events it is set to host across mainland China this month. The 2026 Solana Accelerate China tour will take place in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing from October 16 to 22, according to its website.
“期待与当地开发者见面，并看到他们在Solana上构建了什么，”Solana首席战略官Rachel Conlan周三在上海活动前在X上的一篇帖子中写道。
“Excited to meet local builders and see what’s being built on Solana,” wrote Rachel Conlan, Solana’s chief strategy officer, in a post on X on Wednesday ahead of the Shanghai event.
Solana基金会专注于Solana加密代币背后的区块链，其负责人刘某去年十月在上海的一个区块链行业峰会上表示，该基金会一直“在大力投资”以支持中国大陆的开发生态系统。她补充说，基金会希望在去中心化支付和人工智能等领域深化与中国大陆的合作。
Solana Foundation, which focuses on the blockchain behind the Solana crypto token, had been “investing heavily” to support mainland China’s developer ecosystem, president Liu said at a blockchain industry summit in Shanghai last October. The foundation hoped to deepen collaboration with the mainland in areas such as decentralised payments and artificial intelligence, she added.
尽管如此，该公司在中国大陆的拓展仍面临挑战。去年十月，Solana在深圳的Accelerate APAC活动因当地警方调查而被迫提前结束——尽管主办方将此次中断归因于场地人满为患。
Still, the firm’s foray into mainland China has faced challenges. Last October, Solana’s Accelerate APAC event in Shenzhen was cut short by a local police inquiry – though organisers attributed the disruption to overcapacity at the venue.
私募市场咨询公司Arctic Digital的研究主管Justin d’Anethan认为，Solana在上海的举措更多是关于“在技术层面的实体存在和互动”，而非“针对代币的全面广告宣传或交易互动”。
Justin d’Anethan, head of research at private markets advisory firm Arctic Digital, saw Solana’s Shanghai ventures as more about “physical presence and engagement at the technological level” than “a full-blown advertising campaign for the token or an engagement to trade”.
他补充说，该公司可能旨在通过在该地区立足，来接触人工智能、支付和安全等领域的公司和人才。
The company was likely aiming to gain a foothold in the region to engage companies and talents in areas such as AI, payments and security, he added.
根据d’Anethan的说法，中美之间的广泛竞争可能正在为瞄准中国市场的海外加密货币公司提供一个机遇窗口。
The broader US-China rivalry could be providing a window of opportunity for overseas crypto firms eyeing the Chinese market, according to d’Anethan.
“随着美国在人工智能、机器人、太空探索、生物技术等领域快速发展，而中国在各个领域都展开了激烈竞争，加密货币项目看到机遇也就不足为奇了，”d’Anethan说。
“With the US racing forward in AI, robotics, space exploration, biotech and more, and with China competing hard on all fronts, it’s not surprising that crypto projects would see an opportunity,” d’Anethan said.
“人们既可以将其视为中国的胜利，也可以视为一个美国项目在亚洲的积极扩张。”
“One can see this both as a win for China and a positive expansion for an American project into Asia.”
