DeFi isnโt deadโitโs just evolving.
The 2020-21 bull run was all about yield farming, unsustainable APYs, and degen plays. Now, the space is shifting toward real yield, sustainable liquidity, and institutional adoption.
A few key trends:
1๏ธโฃ Restaking & LST Finance โ EigenLayer opened the floodgates, and now everyone is looking at ways to rehypothecate staked assets.
2๏ธโฃ RWAs (Real-World Assets) โ Tokenized T-Bills, bonds, and off-chain assets are becoming a key part of DeFi TVL.
3๏ธโฃ Onchain Derivatives & Perps โ Platforms like dYdX, GMX, and Aevo are innovating where CEXs once dominated.
4๏ธโฃ Intent-Based Transactions โ UX is improving with smart order routing and abstracted complexity.
5๏ธโฃ Cross-Chain Liquidity โ Bridges are evolving, but security risks remain a challenge.
The degens might be quieter, but DeFi is maturing. Those who adapt will win the next cycle. 0 reply
