Institutional DeFi & Yield in Modern Markets | EthCC Panels
Friday, 10 April, 2026

This episode features two live panels recorded at EthCC, exploring the next phase of DeFi’s evolution—from institutional adoption to capital efficiency and yield generation. Panel 1: Institutional DeFi: From Stablecoins to RWAs Speakers discuss the rise of stablecoins, the growth of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and how institutions are entering onchain markets. Topics include tokenization frameworks, market structure challenges, transparency, and the role of DeFi in building a more global and accessible financial system. Panel 2: Capital Efficiency & Yield in Modern DeFi The second panel dives into lending vaults, yield strategies, and risk management. Participants break down capital efficiency, the difference between organic and incentivized yield, and how protocols are approaching risk monitoring, liquidity constraints, and portfolio construction in increasingly complex DeFi markets.
