every week, $40 million is stolen from defi, routed through a series of mixers before ultimately being used to fund dark nation weapons programs the same defi that is supposed to be the shining star and real use case of our industry has lost over $750 million in the first 4ish months of 2026 and over $17 billion over the last 10 years in a sick twist of fate, this is our golden window. GENIUS Act has passed, CLARITY is around the corner, and the world’s largest institutions are paying attention for now in moments like these, it is important to know where you stand at @plumenetwork, comparing ourselves with defi was never right. we view capital protection as our main priority, and our real time monitoring controls can step in if something goes wrong. defi isn’t perfect, but the financial system isn’t either we have been building Open Finance: technology that leverages the best aspects of both cefi and defi Open Finance is smart contract programmability, fast innovation, open access, cross-chain composability, standardized, while maintaining regulatory licenses and safeguards, access to institutional assets, all going to create products built for scale allowing a global investor base to access the highest quality assets, with the licenses required to attract the best institutions, with a mandate of safeguarding capital if $900T of global assets are going to move onchain.. Open Finance is the only path forward more on this soon
