Avon Co-founder's Viral Article: Why Has DeFi Lost Its Charm?

The article "Why DeFi Has Lost Its Charm" by Avon co-founder Prince argues that DeFi is no longer perceived as innovative or exciting, despite continued development and maturation. The core issue is a shift in user psychology from curiosity to caution, and a convergence of user behavior around incentives rather than genuine utility. DeFi Summer represented a period of rapid innovation and market structure formation, but today's DeFi often feels like a repetition of established patterns with better execution. User behavior has become highly speculative and optimized around trading, leverage, and easy exits. This has shaped the ecosystem's expectations: participation is now something that requires monetary compensation, rather than being driven by a product's inherent usefulness. Lending in DeFi, for example, has evolved into short-term financing for positions like leverage and arbitrage, rather than functioning as a true credit market. Yield has become a baseline expectation for participation, justified by the numerous risks (smart contract, governance, oracle, bridge risks). This leads to a "rented" adoption—activity spikes during incentive programs but vanishes afterward, making it difficult to build sustainable, long-term projects. Trust has also been eroded by years of exploits, scams, and governance failures, making users more cautious and less willing to explore new projects. This risk aversion, combined with the high compensation demanded for risk, has compressed the space for experimentation. The author concludes that DeFi hasn't failed; it has successfully optimized for a specific set of behaviors (liquidity, speed, exit ease) but in doing so, has made it harder to expand into new use cases. For DeFi to regain its charm, it must create structures that make different user behaviors rational—where capital stays for reasons beyond incentives, and yield represents a responsible decision rather than a headline number. This would lead to quieter, slower, but more sustainable growth driven by genuine need.

Huobi HTX Contract Head Fully Deciphers: What Huobi Contracts Did Right in 2025 and Where They Are Headed

Huobi HTX Derivatives Head Decodes 2025 Success and Future Roadmap In 2025, Huobi HTX's derivatives business achieved 2-3x user growth, driven by robust risk management and continuous product upgrades. Key initiatives included the launch of Copy Trading 4.0—a system-level redesign emphasizing user-friendliness, transparency, and safety. The update integrated copy trading with the main contract interface, introduced smart copy modes, and enhanced risk controls with isolated funds and synchronized leverage settings. The growth was attributed to long-term user trust built on Huobi HTX’s 12-year foundation in security and risk control, which withstood multiple market volatilities without major incidents. Liquidity for major and semi-major coins doubled, though improvements are planned for long-tail assets. The Unified Margin system, launched in May, boosted API trading speed by 4x and attracted high-frequency traders. Financial products like Savings (Yu Bao) improved capital efficiency, with plans to increase yields by 2-3x in 2026. AI-driven trading tools and strategy integrations are also prioritized. Looking ahead, Huobi HTX will focus on refining products, optimizing liquidity, enhancing capital efficiency, and deepening risk management. A key shift will involve empowering users with more active risk control tools, promoting transparent and manageable trading decisions. The goal is to enable sustainable participation in high-volatility crypto markets through safer, smarter, and more rational trading frameworks.

DeFi Has Not Collapsed, But Why Has It Lost Its Charm?

DeFi has not collapsed, but it is losing its sense of exploration and novelty. While the infrastructure has matured and execution has become more efficient, participation has become highly homogenized, centered around incentives, short-term financing, and speculative trading rather than genuine credit markets or long-term engagement. The ecosystem has optimized for behaviors favored by traders—liquidity, leverage, and quick exits—making yield less a reward for risk-taking and more an expected compensation for participation. This has led to capital that is highly mobile but discontinuous, often “rented” during incentive periods rather than sustainably engaged. Trust has also shifted from curiosity to caution due to past failures, making users more risk-averse and less likely to experiment. DeFi’s current form successfully serves a niche group but struggles to expand beyond its optimized behaviors. For DeFi to regain relevance, it must encourage new types of rational behavior—such as longer-term capital commitment, structured credit, and sustainable yield—rather than perpetuating the same incentive-driven patterns. This would require building systems that attract users through real utility rather than subsidies, even if growth is slower and less dramatic.

Whoever Masters 'Ordering' Holds the Lifeline of the Project

Binance has solidified its position as the premier platform for liquidity exit after token launches, as evidenced by the poor performance of assets like $MON that debuted elsewhere. Projects on BNB Chain receive prioritized attention, reinforcing Binance’s dominance over market liquidity and project viability. The next frontier lies in edge innovation—disruptive changes emerging from the periphery, much like digital cameras overtaking film. Large entities often respond through acquisitions or internal competition. Following FTX’s collapse, Solana experimented with meme-driven, on-chain liquidity solutions, emphasizing the importance of transaction ordering. Current efforts, such as Application-Controlled Execution (ACE), aim to optimize this process. However, Hyperliquid has emerged as a significant innovator, introducing consensus-level order prioritization that favors market makers—processing cancel and post-only orders before others. This microstructural change enhances market-making conditions, though its focus remains largely on BTC liquidity. The broader trend is clear: blockchain competition is increasingly centered on transaction ordering mechanisms, which directly influence market making and the efficiency of liquidity exit.

The AI Era: When the 'Gap Between Human and Dog' Shrinks to the 'Gap Between Humans'

The article discusses how AI era is narrowing the cognitive gap between humans, using a hypothetical scoring system to illustrate the idea. Originally, the difference between individuals (e.g., a elementary student at 10 points vs. Einstein at 100) could be as vast as the difference between humans and dogs. However, with the advent of AI, which is estimated to contribute significantly to human capability (e.g., 80 points in the near term), even a less knowledgeable person equipped with AI can approach the performance of an expert. While some argue that skilled AI users (e.g., prompt engineers) may widen the gap initially, the author believes this is temporary. As AI becomes more intelligent and user-friendly, the barrier to leveraging its full potential will lower. Eventually, AI could reach a point where it contributes so much (e.g., 1000 points) that individual human differences become negligible—like two fighters using rocket launchers, where their original martial arts skills matter little. In the long run, AI will reduce relative disparities between people, even if absolute gaps persist, making expertise more accessible and diminishing the advantage of innate or highly trained human intelligence.

Fintech Stablecoins Just Got a Boost in South Korea as Lawmakers Oppose 51% Rule

South Korea is preparing to regulate stablecoins by 2026, with a key debate between the Bank of Korea (BoK) and the Financial Services Commission (FSC). The BoK supports a "51% rule" that would limit the issuance of KRW-backed stablecoins to entities majority-owned by banks, arguing that non-bank issuance could cause chaos. In contrast, the FSC favors a more open approach, allowing fintech companies to participate to encourage innovation. Recently, the Democratic Party of Korea’s Digital Asset Task Force expressed opposition to the BoK’s proposal, siding with the FSC. They argue that restricting stablecoin issuance to banks could hinder innovation and reduce competitiveness with global standards.

CFTC Welcomes New Leadership, Accelerating Legislation on Cryptocurrency Market Structure

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has appointed Michael Selig Sworn as its new chairman, following his confirmation by the Senate on December 18, 2025. Nominated by President Trump, Selig previously served as chief legal counsel for the SEC’s Crypto Assets Task Force and played a key role in shaping regulatory frameworks for digital assets. Selig’s appointment signals a shift toward clearer, innovation-friendly regulation of crypto markets. He has emphasized reducing unnecessary enforcement actions and compliance burdens on businesses, while supporting Congressional efforts to pass digital asset market structure legislation. His background is expected to help improve coordination between the CFTC and SEC. Challenges ahead include resource constraints at the understaffed CFTC and the current unusual situation of Selig being the only commissioner. His leadership is likely to advance the agency’s focus on balancing market integrity with support for financial innovation, in line with the Trump administration’s goal to strengthen U.S. leadership in digital finance.

CFTC changes guard as Selig takes reins, Pham departs

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has undergone a leadership transition, with Mike Selig sworn in as the new chairman, replacing acting chair Caroline Pham, who has departed. Selig, confirmed by the Senate after being nominated by President Trump, is now the agency's sole commissioner. He is widely viewed as pro-crypto and has pledged to support innovation in technologies like blockchain by avoiding a "regulation by enforcement" approach. Meanwhile, Pham, who had led the CFTC since January, is moving to crypto fintech company MoonPay. Both expressed support for balanced regulatory frameworks that foster innovation while ensuring market integrity.

Prediction Market Veteran Narrates a Decade of Evolution: From Augur's 'Innovation Theater' to Polymarket's Practical Breakthrough

Prediction market pioneer Joey, co-founder of Augur, reflects on the evolution of the sector over the past decade. He identifies Augur’s early challenges—low liquidity, poor user experience, and regulatory uncertainty—as key reasons it initially failed to achieve product-market fit. While Augur demonstrated the potential of crypto-native innovation, it also revealed the gap between theoretical decentralization and practical usability, which he refers to as "innovation theater." Key lessons include the need to solve the oracle problem (real-world data integration) and reduce user barriers rather than relying solely on decentralization ideals. Founders should avoid premature decentralization by first testing centralized prototypes before moving on-chain. Polymarket’s recent success stems from focusing on real-time event prediction (elections, sports), high liquidity mechanisms, and attracting non-crypto users. It has proven effective as an information market, outperforming traditional polls in accuracy, especially during events like the 2024 U.S. election. Joey argues that prediction markets are evolving beyond gambling into risk-hedging tools—for example, helping businesses forecast supply chain disruptions. This shift reflects crypto’s broader move from speculation to utility. While speculation exists, the core value lies in information discovery. Regarding regulation, he expects the U.S. to enforce KYC/AML rules, limiting anonymity. The EU and Asia may adopt more favorable policies, but U.S. standards could dominate globally. Clear regulation could attract institutional participation, but overregulation—such as banning certain event types—may stifle innovation. He advises projects to collaborate with regulators rather than adopt a confrontational approach.

The AI Era: When the 'Human-Dog Gap' Shrinks to the 'Human-Human Gap'

In the AI era, the gap between humans is narrowing from what was once likened to the difference between "humans and dogs" to a more comparable "human-to-human" difference. The author uses a hypothetical scoring system: a child scores 10 points, a PhD 60, a professor 75, and Einstein 100. With AI estimated at 40 points in cognitive value (effectively 80 when considering its generalist nature), a child with AI reaches 90 points, while Einstein with AI reaches 180—reducing their relative gap from 10x to 2x. Some argue that AI proficiency varies—novices may only leverage 20% of AI’s potential, while experts extract 100%, widening absolute gaps (e.g., child+AI novice=30 vs. Einstein+AI expert=200). However, the author contends this is temporary. As AI evolves, it will become smarter and easier to use, reducing the skill threshold. Future AI might score 240+ points, with humans consistently utilizing 80-120% of its potential. Eventually, a child with advanced AI could reach 1010 points, and Einstein 1100—a negligible 1.1x difference. The core idea: while current AI proficiency disparities may temporarily widen gaps, AI’s inevitable progress in intelligence and usability will democratize access, diminish human cognitive inequalities, and make individual expertise less impactful—like everyone having access to the same powerful tool.
