Trust Wallet’s Eowyn Chen on Waking Up Crypto’s Sleeping Giants—Because Banks Sure Won’t
Dormant capital isn’t just sitting idle—it’s bleeding value in traditional finance’s low-yield purgatory. Trust Wallet CEO Eowyn Chen pulls no punches on why DeFi flips the script.
The trillion-dollar coma
Chen’s diagnosis? Legacy systems treat idle assets like museum pieces—locked behind glass, generating dust instead of yield. Crypto wallets? They’re the defibrillator.
No-permission finance strikes back
Trust Wallet’s 25M+ users aren’t waiting for bank approvals. Staking, lending, and bridging happen with finger swipes—take that, 9am-5pm banking hours.
The cynical kicker
Meanwhile, Wall Street still charges 2% management fees for the privilege of parking your cash in their vaults. Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.
