Solana says Shanghai Accelerate event postponed after registration surge

Lily Liu, president of the Solana Foundation, says pre-registration for the Shanghai Accelerate event quadrupled overnight, exceeding the attendance cap registered with local authorities.

Why it matters: The delay shows how local rules and venue limits are shaping crypto events in mainland China, where token fundraising, trading and mining remain prohibited.

Key points

  • Liu said registrations quadrupled overnight, exceeding the cap set by local authorities.
  • The Shanghai event was to open a four-city Accelerate China tour, with Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing to follow.
  • A Solana event in Shenzhen was cut short in October 2025 over venue capacity and public-safety concerns.

Solana says the Shanghai leg of its Accelerate China tour has been postponed after pre-registration exceeded the attendance limit registered with local authorities. Lily Liu, president of the Solana Foundation, said in a Friday post on X that sign-ups quadrupled overnight once the event was publicised, and that organisers chose to delay it to comply with local requirements.

Earlier on Friday, users on X said the event had been abruptly suspended, with law enforcement officers stationed at the venue, according to Cointelegraph. The postponement came after Solana executives promoted a new Shanghai office earlier this week.
