ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, current mainstream DeFi protocols are gradually deviating from the original intention of peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, shifting towards reliance on liquidity pools, external oracles, and automated market maker (AMM) models. This shift, while enhancing capital efficiency, has led to users losing the ability to choose collateral and control risks independently. Moreover, the manipulation of centralized oracles has exacerbated systemic vulnerabilities—recently, the Hyperliquid exchange triggered a trust crisis due to human intervention in oracle pricing, causing its total value locked (TVL) to plummet from $540 million to $150 million.Industry analysts point out that the design of liquidity pools is causing DeFi to gradually converge with traditional financial systems, violating the core principles of "open transparency and permissionless interaction." The early P2P lending model allowed both parties to negotiate collateral types and interest rates through smart contracts, which better aligns with the spirit of decentralization.Despite recent impressive data (Aave's TVL surpassing $40 billion, Uniswap's cumulative trading volume reaching $3 trillion), the market urgently needs to rebuild a true P2P system: users should have the right to choose assets, set trading terms independently, and break free from reliance on centralized oracles. Only by returning to a transparent, flexible, and user-driven essence can DeFi achieve large-scale adoption.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, Kenneth Rogoff, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and a member of the Federal Reserve Board, stated in an interview that geopolitical tensions and the growing influence of cryptocurrencies are undermining the global position of the dollar.Kenneth Rogoff believes that critics who think cryptocurrencies are just scams with no value are completely wrong. "The view that there is no 'fundamental value proposition' in cryptocurrency transactions is incorrect." One of the main markets for the dollar is the global underground economy, where the preferred payment method for such transactions used to be the dollar, but now the preferred payment method is cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies provide a recognized medium of exchange, which is a value proposition. Even with strict government regulation of cryptocurrencies, there will still be significant challenges in controlling the underground economy. Therefore, Kenneth Rogoff believes that "cryptocurrencies have value." Authorities will face enormous difficulties in tracking cryptocurrency transactions in the gray market, which means that cryptocurrencies are "not worthless."
