Rune Christensen, co-founder of MakerDAO and Sky Protocol, believes that if Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidential election, it could lead to a resurgence in decentralized finance (DeFi). Christensen suggests that clearer regulations under Trump's presidency could drive significant growth in the DeFi sector, potentially increasing the number of users by 10 times. DeFi is uniquely positioned to benefit from reduced regulatory barriers, and Christensen believes that by easing constraints, the ecosystem could attract more participants to decentralized financial services. In addition to discussing DeFi regulation, Christensen also proposed reverting MakerDAO's branding from Sky Protocol back to its original "Maker" identity, citing user association with stability, security, and scalability. MakerDAO recently committed $1 billion to tokenized U.S. Treasury products, aligning with the growing demand for tokenized treasuries.
