Decentralized Finance Depth Research: Regulatory Landscape and Value Reassessment under the SEC's New Policy 1. Introduction: The SEC's New Policy and the Key Turning Point in DeFi Regulation Landscape Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has rapidly developed since 2018, becoming one of the core pillars of the global cryptocurrency asset system. DeFi provides a rich set of financial functionalities including asset trading, lending, derivatives, stablecoins, and asset management through open and permissionless financial protocols, relying on smart contracts, on-chain settlement, decentralized oracles, and governance mechanisms to reconstruct traditional finance.
