Make DeFi Great Again!
summary
Panelists argue DeFi needs concrete fixes: one platform reports 225 billion USD trading volume in the past year as evidence that on‑chain markets scale, another is building a cross‑chain liquidity layer that taps 50+ networks, and a spot aggregator will route exchange API keys to combine CEX and DEX liquidity. Key proposals: remove bridges, unify liquidity for spot and leveraged markets, protect on‑chain trading via privacy, and accept that perps will consolidate into a few winners (dYdX/Hyperliquid style) rather than endless fragmentation.
