Vitalik Buterin Predicts DeFi’s Rise to Maturity with Zero-Knowledge Identity

In a recent conversation, prominent figure Vitalik Buterin discussed how decentralized finance (DeFi) is transitioning from its experimental stage into a more stable and reliable system. He believes this shift will be driven by low-risk applications that mirror traditional financial models but leverage the security of blockchain technology. 3% to 4% returns on stablecoins like USDC or EURC are now offered, providing real-world utility for individuals in countries with limited access to traditional banking systems.
