Surveys show that out of 150 crypto protocols, 91% generate on-chain revenue, but only 8% publish investor reports, and less than 1% disclose market maker terms, reflecting a communication gap in the industry.

As the largest on-chain asset vault with a market value exceeding 1.4 trillion, the share of Bitcoin used in DeFi is still under 0.22%.
The core reason it remains unclear isn’t that the functionality is insufficient, but that the premise of trust is wrong. In many past attempts, users were often misled: you think your Bitcoin is under your control, but in fact it’s on someone else’s ledger. The collapse of projects like Celsius, Voyager, and Genesis has repeatedly sounded the alarm for the logic of “sacrificing trust for efficiency.”
