The blanket 'DeFi' label is killing enterprise adoption. Here's why: when everything from meme tokens to sophisticated protocols gets lumped together, how can traditional businesses take crypto seriously?

Real enterprises face a genuine headache—bouncing between traditional banks, crypto platforms, payment cards, and juggling compliance across multiple jurisdictions. That's friction.

What if there was one unified financial layer? Connect fiat seamlessly with crypto, handle compliance on autopilot, remove the complexity. That's the gap most projects miss. Enterprise crypto adoption won't happen by slapping 'DeFi' on everything. It happens when we actually solve the problems businesses wake up thinking about.

NGL, this is the real point. Treating DeFi as a basket to hold anything is fine, but how can enterprises trust it... Compliance is indeed a critical weakness.

That's right, the DeFi label is now just a basket, putting everything into it. No wonder companies keep their distance.

Honestly, someone finally said it. The label "DeFi" is so overused that it really causes problems. It makes companies unable to trust at all.

Exactly right, the DeFi label has indeed become a melting pot, and it's hard to tell what is what.

ngl the "unified financial layer" framing is where it gets interesting—but the implementation details matter way more than the pitch. like, who's actually handling compliance "on autopilot"? that's still governance hell underneath.

Well said, the label DeFi has indeed been overused to the point of chaos... Meme coins are mixed in with genuine protocols, how can companies dare to touch them?
