Solana’s Liu says Shanghai event postponed over registration surge
Summary
Solana postponed its Shanghai Accelerate event after registration surged to four times its previous level overnight, exceeding the cap set by local authorities. Solana Foundation president Lily Liu said organizers postponed the event to comply with local requirements. The delay comes after a similar Solana gathering in Shenzhen was cut short in 2025 over capacity and public-safety concerns. Shanghai was to begin a four-city China tour, with events planned for Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing. China maintains broad restrictions on crypto services, and regulators recently added a ban on unauthorized issuance of yuan-pegged stablecoins.
