Two things I learnt after reading the article:
DeFi’s Growing Role in TradFi:
Over two-thirds of TradFi firms are actively exploring DeFi, seeing it as a long-term inevitability.
Key interest areas include stablecoins, tokenized assets, and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
Public, permissionless blockchains are favored over private ones due to better liquidity, transparency, and automation.
Investment & Strategy Takeaways:
Cost reduction is a primary driver for DeFi adoption, with automation potentially cutting back-office expenses by 25%.
Tokenized U.S. Treasuries and bonds are gaining traction, alongside stablecoins like USDT and USDC.
Regulatory uncertainty remains the biggest barrier, with TradFi firms calling for clearer guidelines to accelerate adoption.
