Current DeFi market is mostly propelled by the crypto community, but earning opportunities are obviously more rewarding in DeFi over the traditional markets and this alone should attract lots of traditional investors eventually. Some will get into DeFi directly, but most, we predict, will use some kind of intermediary to help mitigate the risks, better manage the portfolio and simplify the process overall.
APY at traditional markets mostly varies from -0.1 (negative) to 14% while DeFi offers at least 1.7% (low risk stable coin lending) to over 30% to those that are willing to take risks.
