Bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi will be crucial for achieving a true breakthrough in global crypto adoption. Currently, what sets TradFi apart from crypto is its widespread use in everyday transactions through systems like debit and credit cards, while only a small fraction of people use crypto primarily for speculation and investment.
However, the perception of digital assets as merely speculative tools could soon change.
