Phantom CEO: No Blockchain or IPO Plans, Focuses on Solana and UX
On the Empire podcast, Phantom CEO Brandon Millman said the company will not spin up its own blockchain or seek an IPO anytime soon. Millman framed the decision as a strategic choice to concentrate resources on strengthening Phantom’s role within the Solana ecosystem and delivering practical tools that improve everyday user experience.
That focus matters for Solana holders and ecosystem partners: staying committed to Solana reduces fragmentation risk and signals continued support for network growth rather than a pivot to a standalone chain. For users, the emphasis on UX and product integrations suggests upcoming investments in wallet features, security, and smoother DeFi and on‑ramp flows rather than corporate restructuring or tokenomic shifts.
