“For more than a decade, while institutions, governments, and fintech giants have pursued scale, control, and revenue monopolisation, DeFi projects have championed open-source innovation and community-driven models. At its core, this has always been a competition for the same prize: customers. However, while people are taking sides, the future is not about one camp defeating the other; it’s about the emergence of a new financial order. The next generation of winners will be those who can create hybrid solutions, combining the trust, distribution, and regulatory strength of TradFi with the speed, transparency, and innovation of DeFi.” (09/23/25)
