DeFi Personal Agency and Institutional Adoption
summary
A market maker and active DeFi builder says Wintermute trades across centralized and decentralized exchanges and has been an early DeFi trader since 2019, arguing institutional adoption must go beyond treating crypto as an asset class. The claim: real value comes when institutions experiment on‑chain — examples include Visa buying a CryptoPunk and an institution minting DAI (reported experiments up to $20M) — and when legacy processes like clearing, taxation and custody are rebuilt for efficiency rather than wrapped in old models.
