Stablecoins are swelling like a well-fed pufferfish, tokenization is the new black, and even BlackRock and Apollo are dipping their toes into DeFi. “It’s like the crypto world finally got a gym membership and started eating its vegetables,” Hougan quipped, though I’m fairly certain he’s never set foot in a gym.
