Solana’s AI narrative is gaining fresh support from crypto investors who argue that SOL may be positioned as a core financial infrastructure asset in an agent-driven economy. Parker White, COO of DeFiDevCorp, and Delphi Ventures founding partner Tom Shaughnessy both pointed to Solana’s speed, liquidity and developer ecosystem as reasons the market may be underpricing the asset. Solana’s AI Thesis Is Heating Up White, known on X as @TheOtherParker_, said on May 9 that he remains bullish on SOL because Solana combines “s-tier technology, user adoption, and liquidity.” He pushed back on the common argument that Ethereum’s larger DeFi liquidity and TVL base gives it an unassailable lead, arguing that the comparison looks different once traditional finance enters the market. “Some people will counter with ‘Yes, but ETH has such a huge DeFi liquidity/TVL lead.’ Huge is relative though and compared to TradFi liquidity, all DeFi liquidity is a drop in the bucket,” White wrote. “So when TradFi
