Artemis also observed that the total value locked in these protocols has increased by over 50% in a year, noting that crypto projects are shifting to user-facing apps and courting institutional clients, rather than offering high yields as seen during the last bull cycle. According to the report, DeFi platforms are no longer \u201cmerely yield platforms [but] modular financial networks undergoing rapid institutionalization,\u201d signalling a shift from a hype-based model to solving actual financial problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>Blockchain-Based US Treasury Bills<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>The report noted that RWAs bring yields from off-chain assets like US Treasury bills onto blockchain networks. This shift brings traditional financial assets into the decentralized world and transforms conventional \u201cfixed-income yields into programmable onchain components.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Artemis disclosed that tokenized US Treasuries increased by more than $3 billion between January and June this year, bringing \u201ca new audience into DeFi.\u201d It also noted that DeFi protocols are embracing yield trading markets and tokenized strategies like yield-bearing stablecoins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to Artemis, \u201cinstitutional appetite for onchain infrastructure is steadily building\u201d due to the unique DeFi benefits like composable and transparent financial infrastructure, and not primarily by \u201cthe absolute highest APYs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>Embedding DeFi Into Crypto Projects<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Apart from RWAs, crypto projects are also embedding DeFi infrastructure in their workflows, something that abstracts the complexity of DeFi from users. Coinbase, for example, allows users to interact with DeFi lender Morpho.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The report comes as more entities like the Ethereum Foundation increase their interaction with the DeFi world through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fullycrypto.com\/ethereum-foundation-deposits-120-million-into-defi-platforms\"><span>depositing<\/span><\/a><span>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fullycrypto.com\/ethereum-foundation-borrows-2-million-from-aave\"><span>borrowing<\/span><\/a><span>, and publishing new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fullycrypto.com\/ethereum-foundation-publishes-new-defi-focused-treasury-policy\"><span>policies<\/span><\/a><span> to guide their interaction with the DeFi world.
