BlackRock invests in DeFi 1.0 sector, heralding a 100x increase!

If you missed Memes, RWA, and AI, don’t worry

This is the next story that's about to break out. Here are 10 projects with moonshot potential

DeFi 1.0 refers to the first generation of decentralized finance

It includes lending and trading protocols on the blockchain.

With support from heavyweights like BlackRock, DeFi 1.0 could become the dominant conversation in 2024.

BlackRock recently showed interest in MakerDAO, a leading project in the DeFi 1.0 space

Additionally, A16Z has accumulated $17 million worth of $MKR in the summer of 2023

These factors indicate that big players have strong interest in tokens in this space

Here are the reasons

In addition to BlackRock’s interest, there are two key factors that could start a new story:

With the SEC dropping its lawsuit, DeFi now has a chance to grow.

The supply of most DeFi 1.0 tokens is fully unlocked, indicating zero selling pressure from VCs

Early buyers always have a good chance of profiting
