Mo Jalil states that the demand for institutions to utilize on-chain solutions, particularly private versions of DeFi protocols, is overwhelmingly inbound. He believes that as regulatory clarity increases, more traditional financial players will seek to leverage blockchain technology.
“So this is going to sound terrible, but actually I'm a really bad salesman. So most of the people are coming inbound.”
“So the things like Aave and Uniswap and Lido, they want those things, but they want to do it in a way that they're compliant. So to your point, like the demand is absolutely massive.”
“Like, It's huge. And the thing that they're looking for is, in some ways, that even kind of classify as institutional DeFi.”
