Currently, Defi, centered on DEXs, is in the sights of governments, especially the US government. They want to control to avoid money laundering and terrorist financing, even if only a very small amount of dirty money flows through crypto channels, most of which goes through USD. I think in the future, Defi will be managed like the Internet is today.
Many users in the community also do not want to be associated with dirty money because of legal risks, so many projects have been developed for AML/KYC purposes such as PureFi. Perhaps after the 2024 cycle, everything will be clear and the legal frameworks will determine Defi's official position in the economy.
