BTC was still up 0.8% over the past 24 hours, underperforming the broad-market proxy CoinDesk Market Index's (CMI) 1.1% rise.

Notable outperformers today are Solana's SOL, Litecoin's LTC and bitcoin cash (BCH), up 3%-4% even after paring some of their early gains. Chainlink's native token LINK soared nearly 8% today amid new partnerships with traditional financial institutions.

The whipsaw in prices caught some crypto derivatives traders off-guard, liquidating roughly $100 million worth of leveraged trading positions over the past 24 hours, according to Coinglass data. Short traders, who attempted to profit from lower prices, endured $60 million in losses, while long traders, who bet on higher prices, suffered $40 million in losses.

‘DeFi is dead’: Maple Finance’s CEO says onchain markets will swallow Wall Street

Wall street signs, traffic light, New York City

The Maple Finance CEO says institutions will stop distinguishing between DeFi and TradFi as private credit moves onchain, and stablecoins process $50 trillion in payments.

Що варто знати:

  • Maple Finance CEO Sid Powell argues “DeFi is dead” as a separate category, predicting all capital market activity will eventually settle on blockchains.
  • Tokenized private credit, not tokenized treasuries, will be the main growth engine for onchain finance, with DeFi market cap on track to reach $1 trillion.
  • Powell expects a high-profile onchain credit default and a surge in stablecoin payments to $50 trillion in 2026, driven by small businesses and neobanks seeking lower fees.
