Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov stated that decentralized finance (DeFi) has completed 30% of its journey towards mainstream adoption. He predicts that DeFi could achieve 100% adoption within the next four years, contingent upon the United States providing clear regulatory guidance. Nazarov believes that such clarity could trigger a global "domino effect," significantly boosting DeFi adoption. According to Nazarov, regulatory clarity could elevate DeFi adoption rates to 50%, with institutional funds finding a compliant path pushing it to 70%. He suggests that DeFi will achieve full mainstream status when its capital scale becomes comparable to traditional finance.
