Stijn Vander Straeten, Chief Executive Officer of Crypto Finance under Deutsche Börse, stated that traditional banks lag behind crypto-native platforms by at least 5 years in DeFi innovation. Large institutions typically wait for regulatory frameworks to be clarified before entering relevant markets, so comprehensive DeFi adoption by banks may still require 5 to 10 years. He pointed out that crypto platforms have already provided features such as weekend trading and instant settlement, while traditional financial systems remain constrained by legacy infrastructure like T+2 settlement.
