The world of decentralized finance (DeFi) has become a popular choice for investors after several centralized finance (CeFi) collapses in 2022. The staggering rise in DeFi funding has led digital asset investment firms to pour $2.7 billion into DeFi projects in 2022, up 190% from 2021. Meanwhile, investments into centralized finance projects fell 73% to $4.3 billion in the same timeframe. This shift in funding could potentially point to DeFi as the new high growth area for the crypto industry.

Despite this growth, DeFi is not immune to hacks and exploits. In February, the DeFi space saw seven protocol hacks, causing at least $21 million in crypto to be lost. One of the largest attacks was the flash loan reentrancy attack on Platypus Finance, resulting in $8.5 million of lost funds.

In March, there have already been multiple exploits, such as on Hedera’s mainnet, causing DeFi tokens to trade in the red. The DeFi market had a bearish week, with most of the tokens in the top 100 trading in the red thanks to the new federal budget and Fed rate hike.

However, DeFi developers are not sitting idly by. Tornado Cash developers are working on a new version of the mixing tool that would aim to be more regulator-friendly. The goal is to differentiate between the legal and illegal transfer of funds, allowing law enforcement to track and catch criminals while still preserving user privacy.

In addition to privacy concerns, DeFi developers are also focusing on on-chain derivative platforms, decentralized stablecoins, and Ethereum layer 2’s. These interest areas are drawing in investors looking for new opportunities in the DeFi space.

Despite the risks, DeFi’s total market value remains high, with the top 100 tokens by market capitalization still worth billions. As the crypto industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how DeFi develops and whether it becomes the new high-growth area for investors.

In conclusion, the DeFi industry has seen a significant shift in funding from CeFi to DeFi after major collapses, with DeFi funding experiencing a staggering rise despite overall crypto funding figures falling. The rise in funding, however, has not made DeFi immune to hacks and exploits, with the DeFi space experiencing multiple hacks in February and March. Nonetheless, DeFi developers are working on new tools and technologies to address privacy concerns and other interest areas. DeFi remains an area of interest for investors looking for new opportunities in the crypto industry.
