The post-election period in the US has sparked hopes of a crypto-friendly regulatory climate, leading to a repricing event for top DeFi tokens. The victory of Donald Trump has raised expectations of a shift in attitudes towards crypto and decentralized finance. As a result, DeFi and DEX tokens have experienced significant recoveries and the sector's overall valuation has expanded to over $99 billion. The potential change in the leadership of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is also seen as a positive development for the crypto industry. However, concerns remain about the regulatory scrutiny faced by DeFi projects, with some platforms being targeted by lawsuits. Despite these challenges, the DeFi sector continues to innovate and build infrastructure, with several tokens emerging as blue-chip DeFi assets. The lowered regulatory scrutiny may also lead to a reversion of investor interest to more serious projects with complex value propositions.
