The DeFi defender

Recall that this is not Wang's first high-profile statement about digital assets. Wang believes in DeFi's potential, for example. According to the trader, DeFi is one of the few projects that is certain to make history.

99% of DeFi projects are building for crypto natives. 1% are building for the mainstream, non-tech savvy. This ratio needs to change.
