👀 **DeFi is not a threat, but an evolution of Bitcoin**
✧ Bitcoin is no longer seen solely as "digital gold" - now its potential is actively being explored in the DeFi space, alongside Ethereum and Solana.
✧ At Franklin Templeton, they believe that the development of Bitcoin DeFi does not threaten its core idea, but rather expands the utility of the asset for technically savvy investors.
✧ DeFi activity based on BTC can offset the decrease in block rewards through increased fees, thus supporting the mining economy.
✧ Integrating DeFi features strengthens the Bitcoin network, increases profitability for holders, and contributes to the sustainable development of the entire ecosystem.
