These assets were subsequently used as collateral on Aave, leading to significant losses and defaults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This case highlights a fundamental risk in DeFi: the intense interconnectedness between protocols. Even a small component within the system can trigger a domino effect, impacting much larger platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, investors withdrew funds from the sector, redirecting them toward safer assets like Tether, which led to a sharp decline in Total Value Locked (TVL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growth Proves to Be an Illusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysts note that much of the growth in DeFi over recent years has been the result of rising asset prices rather than a genuine influx of new capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When TVL is measured in Ethereum instead of dollars, the sector reveals stagnation or even a decline since 2022. This calls into question the sustainability of the model and its ability to attract long-term investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, yields in DeFi are decreasing. Interest rates of around 5% on stablecoins no longer seem sufficient to compensate for smart contract and governance risks, especially given competitive yields available in traditional markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026: A Year of Record Losses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first four months of the year alone, losses from hacks and exploits in DeFi have exceeded $750 million. Beyond the Kelp DAO incident, another significant event was the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/hakut-na-drift-protocol-za-nad-200-miliona-kak-se-e-osushtestvil-i-koy-stoi-zad-nego\/\">breach of Drift Protocol<\/a><\/strong>, attributed to a hacking group linked to North Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These events reinforce the perception that the sector still functions more as a technological experiment than a mature financial system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Institutions Seek Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report emphasizes that institutional investors remain particularly sensitive to three main risks: the lack of a clear regulatory framework, the opacity of operations, and the potential for rapid loss propagation between protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consequently, capital is gradually shifting toward more structured solutions, such as the tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA) on private or strictly regulated blockchain networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Core Issue: Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The analysts\u2019 conclusion is clear: DeFi does not have an innovation problem, but a trust problem. Until the sector moves toward stricter security and governance standards, institutional participation will remain limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its current form, DeFi offers high yields but disproportionately high risk\u2014a combination that is increasingly difficult to reconcile with the requirements of large-scale investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the market, this means one thing: the next phase of development will not be driven by experimentation, but by stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JPMorgan analysis reveals DeFi growth is stalling as Kelp DAO and Drift Protocol exploits drive investors toward safer assets like Tether.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":191515,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[271,391],"coin_category":[],"class_list":["post-191516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-ethereum","tag-rwa"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
