[Traditional financial giants like BlackRock and Citadel accelerate their DeFi expansion, possibly to secure access to DeFi infrastructure] According to The Block, traditional financial giants such as BlackRock, Citadel Securities, and Apollo Global Management have recently been purchasing DeFi governance tokens, marking a new phase in their collaboration with the crypto sector. BlackRock has launched its tokenized treasury fund BUIDL via UniswapX and purchased UNI tokens. Citadel has supported LayerZero's 'Zero' blockchain and acquired ZRO tokens, while Apollo has reached an agreement with Morpho to acquire 90 million MORPHO tokens over 48 months, accounting for approximately 9% of the total supply. Analysts believe these transactions are more about securing access to DeFi infrastructure rather than simply betting on token value. As infrastructure matures and the regulatory environment improves, it is expected that more traditional financial institutions will choose to invest in DeFi governance tokens, particularly in blue-chip projects related to stablecoins, tokenized physical assets, and trading infrastructure.
