The DeFi sector is in a unique position as it attempts to provide decentralized financial services that are an alternative to centralized options. However, the lack of liquidity and trading volume across the crypto space continues to be a major barrier for this sector’s success. Without adequate liquidity and trading volume, it becomes difficult for users to access these services on a large scale. This issue has been compounded by the fact that bootstrapping new services requires some form of passive liquidity injection from external sources such as exchanges or market makers.

In order for DeFi projects to succeed in providing scalable alternatives against centralized financial service providers, they must find ways around this persistent problem with low levels of liquidity and trading volumes within their networks. Over recent years there have been various methods proposed such as reward mechanics through ‘liquidity mining’ which incentivizes users with rewards when they add funds into pools but even then there remains issues with scalability due its reliance on external markets outside of those natively supported by DeFi protocols themselves..

Therefore going forward into 2023 we will need more innovative solutions which can overcome these obstacles posed by limited passive capital injections while still maintaining decentralization at its core principle if we are ever going see true mainstream adoption of DeFi services on a global scale . Only then can we truly realize the potential offered up by this emerging sector and all the benefits it can bring to consumers world wide.
