Michael Egorov, the founder of Curve Finance, predicts significant growth in specialized purpose decentralized exchanges (DEXs) by 2025, driven by platforms tailored for specific functions, such as stablecoin exchanges addressing foreign currency exchange issues. Egorov emphasizes that liquidity provision among varying stablecoin denominations, like the Euro and US dollar, remains a challenge that will soon be resolved. The landscape for both centralized and decentralized stablecoins is expected to expand, with new alternatives emerging from financial institutions and blockchain developers. However, the evolving regulatory environment must adapt to the rapid advancements in DeFi, as existing rules are outdated for current innovations. Recent legislative actions in the U.S., including a Senate vote on repealing IRS regulations for DeFi reporting, suggest that regulatory approaches may shift. Meanwhile, stablecoins have grown significantly, with a market cap exceeding $227 billion and active stablecoin addresses increasing to 30 million by early 2025, indicating that institutional interest in stablecoins and DeFi is also on the rise.
