Convergence of crypto and traditional finance
Overview
The financial sector is experiencing an increasing convergence between Centralized Finance (CeFi), Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and Traditional Finance (TradFi).
A report from HTX Ventures describes a shift toward an unbundled, hybrid architecture. In this model, TradFi offers regulated, yield-bearing assets, centralized platforms manage compliance and execution, and DeFi protocols function as programmable backend infrastructure. This evolution is expected to allow institutions to adopt digital assets through more controlled methods.
Industry leaders at the TOKEN2049 event in Singapore further discussed this trend. Executives from MEXC and Payward noted that blockchain infrastructure is disrupting traditional market structures, such as fixed trading hours. Discussions highlighted the potential for a singular platform to enable seamless trading across various asset classes and the necessity of collaboration to address infrastructure challenges related to 24/7 global trading.
