A BitMEX research report suggests that the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is approaching a critical point as pro-crypto policies unfold under the Trump administration. The report argues that regulatory clarity could reduce legal challenges for established players and newcomers in the industry. The report highlights the potential for a convergence of US monetary interests with decentralized systems, with lending protocol Aave seen as leading the institutional charge. However, the sector also faces challenges, such as upcoming regulations requiring DeFi platforms to implement know-your-customer procedures. The report also discusses emerging trends, including new token-governance policies, the popularity of meme coins and AI tokens, and the success of certain platforms like Raydium and Hyperliquid. The stablecoin sector is also seen as promising, with new entrants pioneering hybrid models. The report concludes by stating that the future of DeFi will depend on indicators such as on-chain revenue, stablecoin usage patterns, and protocol adoption metrics.
