Projects like ENA, HYPE, MORPHO, and PENDLE are focused on:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Real yield generation<\/li>\n<li>Advanced liquidity systems<\/li>\n<li>More efficient trading infrastructure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is no longer the early DeFi hype cycle.

AI and blockchain are starting to overlap, especially around data ownership, identity, and decentralized computing. It\u2019s early, but institutions clearly don\u2019t want to miss this wave.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-utility-and-real-world-use-cases-still-matter\">Utility and Real-World Use Cases Still Matter<\/h3>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the utility layer, 2Z, GEOD, HNT, JTO, ZRO, and W.
