🔁 “DeFi Power Shift: AAVE, Maker, Uniswap & Balancer Set to Explode as Institutions Grasp Crypto Liquidity”

#longtermgame

Here's why they could surge once institutions go beyond ETFs and start capturing crypto structure and liquidity trades:
🔶 1. Institutional Liquidity Farming

Institutions are already exploring crypto ETFs and custody. The next frontier is liquidity provisioning and on-chain yield generation:

Aave: Institutional money into on-chain lending will massively increase TVL and protocol fees.

MakerDAO: Real-world asset collateral (RWA) expansion aligns with institutional-grade DeFi integrations.

Balancer: Institutional automated market makers (AMMs) need programmable and capital-efficient pools.

Uniswap: Already doing more daily volume than Coinbase; once compliant rails are in, Wall Street will use it for stablecoin swaps and token-to-token trades.

🔶 2. DeFi = Next Gen Prime Brokerage

Institutions want permissionless rails for high-frequency, 24/7 trading. DeFi protocols are the back-end infrastructure:

Expect TradFi giants to launch wrapped, compliant versions of these tokens, or create liquidity partnerships.

Example: BlackRock could use Uniswap LPs for token routing just like it does dark pools now.

🔶 3. DeFi Fees Will Moon

More usage = more fees. These coins directly accrue value from platform usage:

AAVE holders earn from protocol revenue and governance.

UNI (if governance turns on the fee switch) could explode in value.

MKR sees value through DAI demand and protocol stability fees.
