Morpho CEO Paul Frambot has asserted that institutional adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) is inevitable, emphasizing the importance of control and compliance. Frambot shared insights from discussions with major institutions, highlighting that the shift of massive assets under management, payments, and lending activities to on-chain platforms is driving this trend. He noted that nearly all fintech companies are pursuing full on-chain integration, making institutional participation a necessity rather than a choice. Frambot also pointed out that institutions have lost trust in the traditional pool or hub models, demanding full control over code, risk, and compliance. They seek the flexibility to manage their operations independently while accessing a global liquidity network tailored to their specific requirements. This reflects a growing need for customizable DeFi solutions that align with institutional standards and regulatory demands.
