Analyst Jamie Coutts predicts that the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector could surge by 4x to 5x in 2025, potentially outperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana as traditional finance (TradFi) increasingly integrates with crypto. Key trends include centralized exchanges (CEXs) acquiring DeFi platforms, the rise of real-world asset tokenization, and significant growth in both CEX and decentralized exchange (DEX) revenues, which are outpacing TradFi. Currently, the total DeFi market cap stands at $152.616 billion.
The crypto market experienced over $1 billion in liquidations on December 19, primarily affecting long positions, as Bitcoin's price fell 3.36% to $97,350, dropping below the $100,000 mark. Analysts noted this volatility as a reaction to sudden negative momentum after a bullish period, with some suggesting potential buying opportunities amid expected policy changes with the upcoming administration.
Crypto liquidations exceeded $1 billion in 24 hours, primarily affecting long positions, as traders were unprepared for negative market shifts after a bullish month. Analysts suggest this downturn may be temporary, with expectations for a potential "Santa rally" and increased volatility as the market anticipates the incoming Trump administration's impact on crypto policy.
Coinbase ranks fifth globally in exchange revenue, generating $5.75 billion, surpassing traditional exchanges like Nasdaq and CBOE. It holds an 11% share of global exchange revenue, while decentralized exchanges (DEXs) capture 5%. Centralized and decentralized exchanges are expanding significantly faster than traditional finance, with a projected combined market cap of $749 billion. Competition is expected to intensify in 2025 as traditional finance integrates crypto activities, and DeFi protocols may offer better returns than leading cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency is rapidly overtaking traditional finance, with Jamie Coutts highlighting that centralized and decentralized exchanges are growing 2.5 to 4 times faster than traditional markets. Coinbase holds 11% of global exchange revenue, while decentralized exchanges now account for 5% of total market revenue, surpassing major exchanges like the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Coutts predicts the DeFi sector will expand 4 to 5 times next year, with new protocols potentially outpacing Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin.

Seems like the connection with the server has been lost. It can be due to poor or broken network. Please hang on while we're trying to reconnect...
Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
