Description

My interview with Michael Bentley, CEO of Euler Labs.

- DeFi adoption surged from zero to $3 billion on Euler in just nine months

- Institutional players such as BlackRock and Apollo are tokenising money market funds on-chain

- Stablecoin growth is driving new lending and borrowing markets in DeFi

- Traditional fintechs are starting to use DeFi rails as back-end infrastructure

- Retail adoption still faces UX and UI hurdles, but fintech integrations may bridge the gap

- Michael predicts explosive growth if even a fraction of traditional finance moves on-chain

- Despite risks like hacks and smart contract bugs, DeFi offers transparency and antifragility compared to traditional finance
