Decentralized Finance's New Role in Global Economic Uncertainty

Recently, the economic and trade relations between China and the United States have become tense again, with automobile tariffs significantly raised to 125%. This move has triggered a risk-averse sentiment in global financial markets, affecting the stock, commodity, and bond markets to varying degrees. However, the reaction of the cryptocurrency market has been relatively calm, raising a thought-provoking question: Is DeFi becoming a new safe haven option?

The certainty enhancement of Decentralized Finance

In March of this year, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution friendly to DeFi users, temporarily lifting the requirement for on-chain protocols to report user transactions. This decision creates a regulatory environment with less pressure for DeFi users, helping to rebuild user confidence in on-chain asset allocation. This situation is similar to how international capital has previously used offshore markets as low-friction channels; DeFi may be taking on a similar role.

The Importance of Structured Returns

In the context of increasing market uncertainty, investors are more inclined to seek investment paths with structured certainty. This explains why Staking-related products have started to receive more attention. For example, in certain ecosystems, on-chain staking tokens can continue to participate in other Decentralized Finance activities, such as lending or liquidity mining. This model is closer to "structured financial management," with predictable returns and risks.

Transparency becomes an advantage

In a future regulatory environment that remains unclear, protocols with complete on-chain records and clear structures may have greater long-term viability than those with opaque operations. Some projects may not be blockbuster hits, but their standardized operational paths and transparent contractual behaviors provide convenience for future compliance adaptation.

Decentralized Finance 从工具到资产配置系统

The use of DeFi is shifting from simple tool arbitrage to building a complete asset allocation system. Users can create a structured income model through a series of on-chain operations, such as staking, lending, and liquidity mining. This model is more akin to actively managed portfolio assets rather than simple speculative behavior.

The importance of building on-chain structures ###

At the current stage, building an on-chain "structured yield portfolio" may be a strategy worth considering. This strategy is suitable for investors who wish to seek relatively stable returns in an environment of ongoing macro uncertainty while preparing for future tax and compliance requirements.

Although we cannot predict when the next market cycle will arrive, starting to build a reasonable investment structure now to prepare for the future is undoubtedly a wise choice.
