The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is witnessing a shift in focus as stablecoin blockchains lose momentum, while real-world assets (RWA) gain regulatory traction. This trend is driven by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation's (DTCC) tokenization plan, alongside Ondo Finance's cleared investigation, which have bolstered confidence in RWA. Additionally, Aave V4 has updated its liquidation mechanism to reduce over-collateralization, reflecting ongoing innovation in the DeFi space. Despite these developments, market sentiment remains bearish, with investors showing a preference for Bitcoin and Ethereum over most altcoins.
