Solana Labs CEO Anatoly Yakovenko on letting AI take the wheel | TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

“AI has been a great force multiplier for somebody who’s an expert. Now I can just watch Claude churning through its thing and I can almost smell when it’s going off the rails," Solana Labs CEO Anatoly Yakovenko told the packed audience at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, as he explored topics from aforementioned AI tools and Solana's impressive success.

Their cryptocurrency protocol announced $2.85 billion in annual revenue earlier this month. And the Solana coin’s first exchange-traded fund launched the day before Yakovenko took to the Disrupt stage, with nearly $70 million of inflows in a single day.
