## Resource

By 2028, Standard Chartered analysts predict a $4 trillion shift in finance, with assets tokenized on public blockchains, including stablecoins and real-world assets like bonds and funds. Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols are poised to dominate, offering advantages like composability, enabling seamless integration of financial tools on the same ledger. Early examples, like BlackRocks tokenized Treasury fund, demonstrate this potential. Clearer U.S. regulations, such as the CLARITY Act, could accelerate this transition. As more assets move on-chain, DeFi protocol tokens value is expected to rise, with larger, more established protocols improving security through audits, insurance, and professional management. DeFi is no longer a niche crypto segment; its set to become a fundamental part of future finance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
