Quick Take

Key DeFi trends this year include the integration of tradfi with crypto, Layer 2 scaling solutions and artificial intelligence, experts told The Block.

Experts say DeFi is likely to thrive in the new year with regulatory easing in the U.S. under Donald Trump.





Some key trends in DeFi this year include the rise of Layer 2 scaling solutions, the integration of blockchain with AI, and the increasing adoption of DeFi by traditional financial institutions, experts told The Block.

“In 2024, the dominant trend in DeFi is the growing integration with traditional finance (TradFi),” said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet. “TradFi institutions are leveraging DeFi tools like automated liquidity provision and smart contracts. And we’re seeing the tokenization of real-world assets, which is unlocking liquidity for DeFi platforms and broadening access to investors.”
