· 2026-01-01T14:22:19+00:00My prediction for 2026 is that defi will become accessible to all and will be seamless for consumers to access at major institutions. Teams launching new tokens at this point are either totally and hopelessly delusional about the inevitable outcome or full-on grifters.
· 2026-01-01T05:06:12+00:00As DeFi continues to grow across many chains, the real challenge is no longer access but coordination.
