š DeFi Trends to Watch in 2025
DeFi isnāt dead ā itās evolving. Hereās whatās shaping the next wave:
1ļøā£ Real Yield over Ponzinomics
Protocols are shifting from inflationary token rewards to real revenue sharing. If you're not earning from actual fees, youāre exit liquidity.
2ļøā£ L2 Dominance
Arbitrum, Base, and Blast are absorbing user activity with lower fees and better UX. L1s are for whales now.
3ļøā£ Restaking + Modular DeFi
Restaking is becoming DeFiās base layer. The composability war is on. Expect yield-maxi tools that abstract risk, gas, and bridging completely.
4ļøā£ DePIN + RWAs
Real-world assets (like T-bills, property, or bandwidth) are flowing on-chain. DeFi is eating TradFi from the inside out.
5ļøā£ 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.
š If your DeFi strategy still looks like 2021 (high APY, no revenue, manual everything)⦠itās time for an upgrade.
