🇦🇪 Dubai 2025 is a wrap! Here’s everything we learned during @token2049 week:

- Sentiment on Ethereum was not amazing, but better than $ETH Denver. There's still hope for ETH.

- Staking, stablecoins, and institutional adoption are driving the industry right now.

- Dubai crowd was mixed: crypto-natives are not going anywhere, but retail is still not here.

- Mindshare is less important than a few months ago. Yapping was just noise; now it's time to ship.

- Traditional finance wants to onboard to $DeFi, but it's not ready yet.

- We will see permissioned $DeFi emerging and a need for optimization tooling (automation among them).

On Mimic Protocol:

1️⃣ Our conviction in what we are building is stronger than ever.

2️⃣ Several discussions with top $DeFi projects prove that automation today is a challenge, and they will happily see improvements in the space.

3️⃣ Automation is especially needed for vaults and asset management; a lot of curation is still happening manually.
