ICYMI: Outlook 2022: A new DeFi summer and the emergence of ‘RDeFi’
is a researcher at Sygnum, the world’s first digital asset bank. Prior to Sygnum, he worked for Ernst & Young in blockchain consultancy and for several startups in the Swiss Crypto Valley.While some market observers had foreseen their rise in popularity and use a while ago, their skyrocketing adoption among both traditional and crypto-native players took most of us by surprise. The hype around punks, apes, and rocks overshadowed even the thriving DeFi sector.
Regardless of whether someone started with the mother of all coins or with a cyborg shark, the result will be the same: increased adoption of DeFi which could lead to a DeFi 2.0 summer.Even though the ETH 2.0 update is planned for the first half of next year, I believe that Ethereum will still deal with very high network fees for most of the year.
This may sound like an oxymoron to some, but I see it as the next evolution of DeFi. I expect that alongside the DeFi that we all know and love, a parallel DeFi sector will emerge, mirroring its rebel twin but with a regulated wrapper around it that matches the regulatory requirements in traditional finance. This RDeFi will only be accessible through the same know-your-customer process that traditional investment instruments use and will have to satisfy the same anti-money laundering standards.
I also expect to see more projects that are regulatory compliant from inception, such as Swarm Markets that received regulatory approval from German regulator BaFin earlier this year and operates as the first regulated DEX.
