[Morpho CEO: Communicated with Multiple Institutions, Institutional Interest in DeFi Will Not Disappear] Odaily Planet Daily News – Morpho CEO Paul Frambot posted on X, stating that over the past week, he communicated with several large institutions to understand their views on the current DeFi landscape. The key conclusions are as follows: First, institutional interest will not disappear. The reason is simple: distribution channels will not vanish — massive assets under management (AUM), payment, and lending businesses are moving on-chain. Nearly all fintech companies aim to achieve full on-chain integration. For institutions, this is not a matter of "if" but a matter of "must." Second, they have lost trust in the pool/hub model. Institutions and distributors want to have full control over everything, including control over the code, risk, and compliance. At the same time, they also desire flexibility, meaning the ability to isolate their own business and connect to a globally compatible liquidity network.
