DeFi Is Growing Up — And So Should Capital Allocation
There was a time when DeFi felt like a race. Protocols raced to launch. Users raced to farm. Capital raced toward the highest APY. Speed defined the ecosystem. But over time, something became clear: Speed without structure doesn’t build durable financial systems. And DeFi is no longer an experiment. It’s infrastructure.The First Phase: Incentive-Driven GrowthEarly DeFi was powered by emissions. High APYs attracted liquidity. Liquidity attracted attention. Attention attracted more capital. It ...
