The Decentralized Finance (DeFi) sector is ushering in a new wave of development. Following the "DeFi summer" of 2020, a recent large-scale influx of institutional funds led by twelve treasury companies into the market may trigger "DeFi summer 2.0."
According to statistics, these treasury companies have accumulated a total of 2 million Ether (ETH). Analysts predict that the final scale may reach 10 million ETH, accounting for about 8% of the total ETH supply. It is worth noting that these institutions do not simply hold ETH, but actively utilize DeFi protocols to pursue higher returns.
For example, GameSquare Holdings has set an annual yield target of 8%-14% and uses smart algorithms to dynamically adjust fund allocation across multiple protocols. Companies like ETHZilla and BTCS are also actively laying out plans in the DeFi space, aiming to achieve more stable and higher investment returns.
The massive influx of institutional funds has not only significantly enhanced the liquidity of DeFi protocols but has also driven continuous upgrades in the DeFi ecosystem in terms of technological innovation and risk control. This trend has also provided ordinary investors with a better trading experience and a wider range of product options.
However, institutional participation also means higher compliance and security standards. Protocols that are still in the experimental stage may face the risk of being eliminated. Overall, the entry of institutional treasury companies will accelerate the development of Decentralized Finance towards a more professional and mature direction.
This round of "DeFi Summer 2.0" driven by institutional funds may have more far-reaching effects. It will not only promote the further improvement of the DeFi ecosystem but may also attract more attention and participation from traditional financial institutions in this emerging field. With the continuous influx of institutional funds, DeFi may usher in a more prosperous and stable development stage.
