Stijn Vander Straeten, Chief Executive Officer of Crypto Finance under Deutsche Börse, stated that traditional banks lag behind crypto-native platforms by at least 5 years in DeFi innovation. Large institutions typically wait for regulatory frameworks to become clear before entering related markets, therefore full adoption of DeFi by banks may still require 5 to 10 years. He pointed out that crypto platforms have already provided features such as weekend trading and instant settlement, while the traditional financial system remains constrained by outdated infrastructure such as T+2 settlement.
