Couldn’t agree more with this post. TradFi was never built for the consumer.
Even when headline fees fall, the system still shifts costs and friction onto users through spreads, custody charges, FX markups, and compliance bottlenecks.
Cross-border transfers remain slow and expensive. Banks skim value across the stack. Asset managers take their cut whether they generate performance or not. The model is structurally extractive.
Onchain rails invert that logic. Costs are compressed, rules are transparent, and the user captures the value created.
You can earn yield on idle balances, as DeFiLlama does by routing deposits to Aave. You get near-instant settlement once funds are onchain.
You can hold tokenized treasuries directly. You can trade around the clock without custodial intermediaries. You can move assets globally for cents.
All of this already exists onchain today.
As more assets migrate, liquidity deepens and optionality expands. That shift is structural. Capital goes where it is treated best, and the onchain economy now offers the strongest alignment.
Network effects handle the rest. Better UX, richer integrations, deeper liquidity, stronger incentives. Every new participant strengthens the system.
It’s inevitable.
And this post from @0xSammy captures a part of this fundamental advantage very well.
This is why I love crypto, it highlights the hidden costs or benefits extracted by TradFi
I signed up to a Pro subscription for @DefiLlama to play around with its latest AI features and noticed they automatically offer you yield from AAVE on deposits
This may not seem like much, but if you pre-pay for a traditional annual subscription it's unlikely that you receive yield on the unused portion of your subscription
Yet DeFi Llama treats this as an accrued liability on their books, holding customer deposits and therefore provides YOU with the yield on said deposit, essentially equivalent to a free month
It's the little things like this that will encourage more users to come onchain
These small benefits will compound with time to make it impossible for traditional systems to compete
The future is decentralized
