👀 DeFi — not a threat, but an evolution of Bitcoin (Kevin Farrelly)
✧ Bitcoin is no longer perceived solely as "digital gold" — its potential is now actively 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; rather, it expands the utility of the asset for technically savvy investors.
✧ DeFi activity based on BTC can compensate for the reduction in block rewards through increased fees, thus supporting the mining economy.
The integration of DeFi functions strengthens the Bitcoin network, enhances returns for holders, and contributes to the sustainable development of the entire ecosystem.
