The Impact of Oracles on DeFi and TradFi Convergence
đź”® Oracle's $15T secret
A single oracle has played a pivotal role in the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi):
- Facilitated DeFi's expansion from $100M to $200B
- Enabled over $15T in on-chain transaction value
- Driving the convergence of traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi
This demonstrates the significant impact of oracle technology on the blockchain and finance industries. As these sectors continue to evolve, oracles are proving to be a crucial component in bridging the gap between traditional and decentralized financial systems.
“Just an oracle” helped take DeFi from $100M to a $200B industry. “Just an oracle” has enabled over $15T in onchain transaction value. “Just an oracle” is powering the convergence of TradFi and DeFi.
