我于2018年进入加密货币领域,在传统金融和加密金融领域都有丰富的经验。我创立的August公司专注于将传统金融的优质服务带到DeFi领域,我们开发了智能合约钱包,旨在简化DeFi交易并降低风险。 机构投资者之所以不愿直接参与DeFi,主要是因为监管不确定性和DeFi的复杂性。虽然他们可能无法直接使用DeFi协议,但他们可以通过投资DeFi基金间接参与。 我们观察到,DeFi在应对市场冲击方面表现出很强的韧性,这与中心化金融机构形成鲜明对比。DeFi的透明性和去中心化特性使其能够在市场动荡时期保持稳定运行。 我们正在努力简化DeFi的交易体验,目标是实现一键式交易,并利用AI技术来优化收益和风险管理。我们相信,随着监管框架的完善和用户体验的提升,DeFi将吸引更多机构和散户投资者。
