In 2025, DeFi faces the paradox of innovation and systemic risks, highlighted by the $26.7 million ETH money laundering incident and Radiant Capital software vulnerabilities. Radiant’s non-DeFi vulnerability exposed user complacency and ecosystem vulnerability, while the ETH incident demonstrated complex attacks and regulatory scrutiny. Institutional investors are reducing exposure to unaudited agreements, while security compliance tools such as Sentinel and CertiK are gaining increasing attention. The path to the future needs to strike a balance between proactive auditing, user education and regulatory coordination in order to maintain DeFi’s trustworthy financial commitment amid changing threats.
