Trust concerns around DeFi security incidents are becoming strong again.
NH Investment & Securities analyst Hong Seong-wook issued a warning in a report on April 30 that if security breaches in the DeFi sector continue like this, user and institutional confidence could weaken. According to NS3.AI, he mentioned that DeFi projects may need to collaborate with traditional financial institutions in the future, especially to improve security, compliance, and risk management.
His view is that DeFi cannot survive in the long term merely in the name of innovation and decentralization if users start to doubt the safety of their funds and protocols. Trust is a crucial factor in the crypto market, and repeated hacks or exploits slowly damage that trust.
The report also suggested that as real-world assets, i.e., RWA tokenization expands, traditional finance companies may take more interest in the DeFi space. In this scenario, some DeFi projects might partner with banks or financial institutions, or could even become acquisition targets in the future.
In simple terms, the next phase for DeFi won’t just be about high yields or open access. The real challenge will be balancing security, compliance, and user trust. Decentralization is important, but if the system isn't secure, adoption might slow down.
