Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform, stating that although he may be accused of gloating, it is necessary to prevent centralized projects from claiming to be DeFi. If an admin key can clear all funds, the project is CeFi. If this distinction is not made, DeFi will be meaningless and its brand will be damaged. No version of Uniswap has an admin key that can clear funds.

According to statistics from the Web3 asset data platform RootData, the total amount in the crypto primary market in March 2026 was approximately $2.58 billion, a significant increase of 286.3% compared to $644 million in February. DeFi, CeFi, and infrastructure were the top three sectors in terms of financing amounts, with $1.655 billion, $320 million, and $270 million, respectively. A total of 62 project financing events were disclosed this month, nearly the same as last month.Additionally, the top three projects by financing amount were the on-chain prediction market Kalshi ($1 billion), the decentralized prediction platform Polymarket ($600 million), and the listed mining company [Eightco Holdings](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Projects/detail/Eightco Holdings, Inc.?k=MzUyMg== "blockchain technology company (NASDAQ: OCTO)") ($125 million). Both Kalshi and Polymarket belong to the prediction market sector, with a total financing of $1.6 billion, accounting for 64.3% of the total disclosed amount for the month, making the prediction market the strongest single narrative this month.It is worth noting that if the 12 merger and acquisition events that occurred this month (involving an amount of approximately $1.857 billion, primarily the acquisition of BVNK by Mastercard for $1.8 billion) are included in the statistics, the total broad financing amount in the crypto market for March would reach approximately $4.279 billion, with mergers and acquisitions contributing over 40%. The trend of traditional institutions accelerating the integration of the crypto sector was particularly prominent this month.In addition, [Coinbase Ventures](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Investors/detail/Coinbase Ventures?k=MjE5)、[Animoca Brands](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Projects/detail/Animoca Brands?k=MzgzOA== "Web3 game development and venture capital company")、[Big Brain Holdings](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Investors/detail/Big Brain Holdings?k=MjU2) were tied as the most active investors in March, each disclosing 4 investments.According to the RootData data co-construction plan, there were still some financing events this month whose amounts could not be included in the statistics. The payment sector project Tazapay completed its Series B1 financing, and the infrastructure project Pharos Network also disclosed that it received financing, but neither disclosed specific financing amounts, with data for Pharos Network temporarily marked as questionable and pending verification.

At the Solana Breakpoint conference, Emily, the founder of Byreal and head of Bybit Spot, stated that as RWA and institutional funds continue to enter the crypto market, CeFi, DeFi, and TradFi are no longer isolated systems but are accelerating their integration, forming a new type of on-chain financial infrastructure.Emily pointed out that the core challenge facing current on-chain adoption is not whether users can access DeFi, but how to lower the barriers to use between different financial systems while ensuring safety and efficiency. The future on-chain experience should naturally integrate decentralized liquidity and on-chain assets within familiar user pathways, rather than requiring users to frequently switch between different systems. As RWA gradually becomes an important asset class on-chain, platforms with real growth potential will be those that can integrate centralized entry points, decentralized liquidity, and traditional financial assets within a single experience. Emily cited the development of Solana and Bybit as examples, indicating that TradFi, CeFi, and DeFi are no longer three parallel paths but are undergoing systematic integration.Emily stated that Byreal, built on Solana, is designed around this integration trend. Byreal is not an independent DeFi product but operates in synergy with Bybit Alpha, serving as a key infrastructure connecting centralized entry points and on-chain liquidity. In this setup, Bybit Alpha acts as the connection layer between CeFi and DeFi, while Byreal serves as the underlying on-chain execution and liquidity access layer, enabling users to seamlessly participate in on-chain trading within familiar usage paths and directly access decentralized liquidity, transparent settlement, and on-chain ownership mechanisms, thereby promoting the scalable application of real-world assets in the on-chain market.Emily concluded that the future of on-chain transactions at the billion-level will "start in CeFi, occur in DeFi, and be driven by TradFi assets," and the next growth cycle in the industry will also be defined by this integrated architecture.

I hope this does not happen, but please stay safe and avoid counterparty risk."
