Bitcoin’s bottleneck could spark the next DeFi Renaissance
Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. DeFi protocols are reflexive games where capital inflows create yields that attract more capital. The secret to making these games run longer has nothing to do with tokenomics or novel mechanisms.

ESMA’s “spectrum of decentralization” targets front‑ends and infra providers, echoing Tornado Cash sanctions’ focus on intermediaries, not immutable code.
