BlockBeats News, March 25 — Stijn Vander Straeten, CEO of Crypto Finance under Deutsche Börse, stated that traditional banks are at least about 5 years behind native crypto platforms in DeFi innovation. Large institutions usually wait for regulatory frameworks to be clarified before entering related markets, so full adoption of DeFi by banks may still take 5 to 10 years. He pointed out that crypto platforms already offer features like weekend trading and instant settlement, while traditional financial systems are still limited by outdated infrastructure such as T+2 settlement.
