⭐️ Maturity in Question: The Paradoxical 2025 Outcomes for DeFi

"The DeFi sector has become mature and secure"—this statement by Vitalik Buterin could have been the perfect epigraph for the results of 2025, if not for the harsh reality.

Almost simultaneously with these words, the crypto community was rocked by the news of the closure of the popular analytics service DappRadar. Shortly before this, Balancer lost $128 million in assets due to an error in one of the key components of the platform, reminding everyone of the fragility of "financial Lego."

This dichotomy permeates 2025. On the one hand, a powerful influx of institutional capital and record loan volumes create an image of stability. On the other, stagnation of many metrics, a graveyard of closed projects, and an ongoing epidemic of exploits.

So what will DeFi truly be by the end of 2025: a mature giant ready for integration into the global financial system, or a colossus with feet of clay? Let's try to sort out these contradictions.
