Alergant suggested that growth will likely come from a user-friendly CeFi app that offers exposure to DeFi services: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor an average user, you tell your mom how to go out and stake on Aave or ETH [&#8230;] and this is a process. She doesn\u2019t know how to use MetaMask, but she wants to generate that yield somehow. She wants to transact but she doesn\u2019t know how to do it.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo I think institutional adoption is where it&#8217;s going, and the institutions are what is going to enable [&#8230;] that killer app for consumers to really bring crypto and DeFi to the next level.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>FLUIDEFI co-founder and CEO Loud expressed a similar view, noting how the everyday person eventually adopted the internet despite not understanding the internet protocol suite, also known as TCP\/IP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe all use the internet right? The internet was a paradigm shift for us, but we don&#8217;t know how to use TCP\/IP. Right now, everybody who uses DeFi knows how to use the protocols, it&#8217;s not sustainable, it&#8217;s not a good model for adoption.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf we look at two years, I see institutions investing more in DeFi and I see companies making simpler user experiences,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n<p>The Ripple executive also outlined that the DeFi sector will soon work hand in hand with the CeFi sector to provide financial services to customers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeFi will ultimately supplement and complement CeFi. In the end you don\u2019t really care if a trade is done through decentralized means in a centralized exchange. I just want the best damn execution,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Decentralized finance faces multiple barriers to mainstream adoption<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Blockchain Futurist Conference is the largest annual blockchain and crypto conference in Toronto, Canada, and is running until Aug. 10. 2022, marking the fifth year of the event.\u00a0This year&#8217;s event is expected to see Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin speak there despite appearing at the Korea Blockchain Week only two days ago. <\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
