On January 14th in St. Moritz, Switzerland, a gathering of top global industry professionals is taking place. The event focuses on two hot topics: the evolution of decentralized finance (DeFi) and new opportunities in on-chain capital markets.

As the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem continues to improve, DeFi protocols are becoming increasingly crucial in on-chain capital markets. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions about the current market challenges and upcoming opportunities—how to seize the initiative in the Web3 wave, which is a concern shared by many traders and developers.

This dialogue, gathering industry elites, is redefining the future direction of finance.

St. Moritz is having another meeting. These people keep bragging about how awesome the ETH ecosystem is every day, but in the end, it's all about on-chain transaction volume speaking for itself. DeFi opportunities? I'm watching them. Every year they talk about new opportunities, but I haven't seen any real innovation with actual gold and silver. I'm tired of hearing the phrase "seize the opportunity." Those who arrived early have already lost their shirts.

St. Moritz is bragging again. If there are so many opportunities, why are so many people losing money?

St. Moritz gathering once again defining the future of finance, always the same rhetoric. Those who are truly making money have already quietly gotten rich. --- DeFi needs to evolve again? Wake up, protocols are still copying and pasting each other. --- Seizing the opportunity? Bro, jumping in now just makes you a bag holder. --- What’s the point of perfecting the Ethereum ecosystem? Gas fees are still ridiculously high. --- On-chain capital markets? Sounds good, but where is the real liquidity? --- In the Web3 wave, trying to get ahead... Maybe we should focus on security first before bragging. --- Another overpriced forum, a bunch of big shots bragging, retail investors still need to do their own research. --- Interesting, DeFi practitioners have all gone to Switzerland for vacation. No wonder the market is dead. --- The real purpose of these meetings is networking and fundraising; technical discussions are just a cover. --- Opportunities? I only see arbitrage margins shrinking.

St. Moritz is playing this game again? DeFi stuff has been old news for a long time, do you really need to fly over and boast? --- The phrase "seize the opportunity" has become so common that ears are numb to it. Those who truly make money have already jumped on board. --- Is the ETH ecosystem complete? Ha, still a long way to go. Let’s wait until L2 truly takes off. --- On-chain capital market opportunities? Nice words, but isn’t it just a new way to fleece the leeks? --- Industry elites gathering together can define the future? Nonsense, code is the real king. --- Claiming to get ahead in the Web3 wave sounds like marketing talk. Who has actually made money? --- The evolution of decentralized finance, in other words, means new risks are emerging.

St. Moritz is holding another conference, this time on DeFi and on-chain capital markets. Sounds like it's really valuable. --- Tired of hearing "seize the opportunity," but in the end, it's all about who can survive the next bull market. --- Ethereum ecosystem is supposedly complete? Come on, gas fees are still ridiculously high. --- Web3 wave? I just want to know if these elites will end up just shouting and nothing more. --- Another top-tier dialogue is about to redefine finance. What happened to the previous discussions? --- Feels like every time these grand events end, the market reverses.

The Swiss St. Moritz bureau? It's already 2024, and you're still talking about the future of DeFi. Do you really think we haven't experienced Luna and FTX?

ngl the "redefining finance" rhetoric gets trotted out every conference season... arguably the real question is whether these incentive structures actually persist beyond the davos circuit
