Institutional capital is testing DeFi in new ways. Hedge funds and fintech desks are quietly running on-chain credit and yield strategies.
DeFi TVL is at $123.6B, up 41% year-on-year. Ethereum still anchors ~63% of that, but Arbitrum and Optimism are taking share, and surprise - Solana DeFi has climbed to $8.6B - I see this as a great sign, a shift away from meme driven hype.
The signal is clear: institutions are deploying into programmable, non-custodial yield. The risk is equally clear - macro tightening or regulatory shocks can reverse this as quickly as it builds.
What do aarnâ Quintets think and how are you reading this shift: @crypto_linn @hackapreneur @CryptoVonDoom @JackNiewold
