DeFi is maturing. TradFi is listening. ???? At Zodia Custody Bytes & Bucks, co-hosted with AWS Startups, leaders from digital assets and traditional finance came together to explore how the two worlds are converging – and what it will take to scale institutional adoption. From enterprise-grade DeFi to stablecoin utility, here’s what leaders from Visa, SBI Digital Markets, SC Ventures and others had to say: ???Bridging DeFi and TradFi: Real transformation will come when risk-adjusted products meet institutional-grade controls. That means KYC/AML compliance, robust risk management, and transparency must evolve alongside innovation. ???Stablecoins with purpose: Adoption hinges on use cases where they clearly outperform traditional digital rails – settlements that are faster, more stable, and always-on. ???DeFi for institutions: Protocols building with capital efficiency and sustainable yields are gaining traction – especially those offering strong asset protection and fundamental risk safeguards. Thank you to AWS Startups, our panellists, and the brilliant crowd that made this event such a success! Nischint S. Winston Quek Gakim Solomons Chris Mihos Lillian So Shawn L.
