📍 Cornell University becomes the stage for the next conversation shaping CeFi × DeFi.
A strong lineup gathered for the panel “CeFi & DeFi Markets”, featuring voices from across the institutional and on-chain finance landscape, including representatives from Cornell University, SamElfa0, Artemis, InceptionLRT, and Monarq Asset Management.
At the center of the discussion: how traditional finance and decentralized systems are converging and what infrastructure actually makes that convergence work at scale.
A key focus of the conversation was the growing role of TRON DAO as a global stablecoin settlement layer, increasingly positioned not just as a high-throughput blockchain, but as a practical backbone for real-world value transfer across CeFi and DeFi ecosystems.
What stood out wasn’t just the technology discussion, but the direction of the market itself:
CeFi is no longer separate from DeFi Institutions are actively integrating on-chain rails Stablecoin settlement is becoming core financial infrastructure, not an experiment
Events like this reflect a broader shift happening across academia, institutions, and protocols, where the conversation is no longer “if” on-chain finance scales, but “how fast” it integrates into global markets.
