July 30th. In commemoration of Ethereum's tenth anniversary, OKX CEO Star published a blog post titled "Ethereum's Tenth Anniversary: My Personal Tribute," reflecting on the shared journey with Ethereum and looking forward to the future of the blockchain. Star stated that since OKX was established in 2013, they have maintained a close collaboration with the Ethereum ecosystem. In the future, OKX will continue to provide world-class products and services to more than 1 billion users globally, driving the realization of a truly decentralized blockchain vision. In the article, he publicly recounted his first encounter with Vitalik for the first time and admitted that he had underestimated the profound significance of Ethereum's vision. Now, he highly values its ability to reshape the global financial system and trust mechanism. Star pointed out that OKX has long adhered to the open and transparent spirit advocated by Ethereum, from introducing ZK Reserves to supporting EIP-7702 and building the Ethereum L2 network X Layer, continuously engaging in technical innovation and ecosystem development. Star believes that Ethereum has become a crucial infrastructure for the new internet, and OKX will continue its firm commitment in the next decade, collaborating with developers to build a more global and trustworthy online world.

Andre Cronje: DeFi has become a hollow shell, and is now merely "on-chain finance"

Fantom founder and former Sonic Labs co-founder Andre Cronje recently stated bluntly: "I believe DeFi no longer exists outside of very niche segments." The vast majority of current DeFi protocols are categorized as "on-chain finance" or "open finance," but true DeFi must meet three core criteria: decentralization, immutability, and non-custodialism. This definition no longer applies to nearly any existing DeFi protocol, Cronje explained. Today’s intermediaries take the form of companies, decision-makers, curators, or risk committees—"all elements we have long observed in traditional banking." True DeFi still persists in some niche projects, he added, noting that he still sees genuine innovation in this space. According to DefiLlama data, the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi has halved from $167 billion in October 2025 to the current $75 billion. A March working paper from the European Central Bank (ECB) also cast doubt on the decentralization of DAOs. A snapshot analysis of holdings across Aave, MakerDAO, Ampleforth, and Uniswap revealed that the top 100 governance token holders control over 80% of each protocol’s total supply, raising questions about whether these platforms should be exempt from MiCA regulation as "fully decentralized" services.
