🔍 DeFi Trends to Watch in 2025
DeFi isn’t dead — it’s evolving. Here’s what’s shaping the next wave:
1️⃣ Real Yield over Ponzinomics
Protocols are shifting from inflationary token rewards to real revenue sharing. If you're not earning from actual fees, you’re exit liquidity.
2️⃣ L2 Dominance
Arbitrum, Base, and Blast are absorbing user activity with lower fees and better UX. L1s are for whales now.
3️⃣ Restaking + Modular DeFi
Restaking is becoming DeFi’s base layer. The composability war is on. Expect yield-maxi tools that abstract risk, gas, and bridging completely.
4️⃣ DePIN + RWAs
Real-world assets (like T-bills, property, or bandwidth) are flowing on-chain. DeFi is eating TradFi from the inside out.
5️⃣ Smart Accounts (AA Wallets)
Your wallet will do the farming for you soon. Self-custody is becoming user-friendly, with gasless transactions and 1-click deposits.
📊 If your DeFi strategy still looks like 2021 (high APY, no revenue, manual everything)… it’s time for an upgrade.
