DeFi Adoption Accelerates as Dogecoin Stalls and AI Tokens Rise
Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov predicts DeFi could reach full global adoption by 2030, with current progress at 30%. Regulatory clarity and institutional interest are driving this growth, potentially unlocking trillions in blockchain capital.
While Dogecoin (DOGE) price action stalls and Cardano (ADA) retraces, AI-driven projects like DeepSnitch AI are gaining momentum. Its presale has surged 64% to $0.02477, raising nearly $600K ahead of its January launch.
DeFi lending protocols have grown 72% year-to-date, with total value locked now at $127 billion - up from $53 billion in January 2025. This growth suggests increasing competition among tokens vying for leadership in the next wave of adoption.
