DeFi must improve 5-10x to attract institutional capital, says Jupiter Exchange COO.

Jupiter Exchange's COO Kash Dhanda argues that decentralized finance (DeFi) needs to be five to ten times better than traditional finance to attract serious institutional investment. To support this, Jupiter restructured its platform into three pillars—Trade, Earn, and Manage—transforming from a swap aggregator into a full-service DeFi super app. The platform has processed $1.2 trillion in trading volume, with over 44 million wallets connected and $1 billion in lending supply, signaling growing adoption. Key innovations include fixed-rate lending and a new stablecoin, aiming to offer faster settlement, 24/7 markets, and transparent collateral to compete with traditional finance.

Jupiter Exchange's COO on DeFi improvements is the story's subject, with Pluang market data providing context.
