🔎 RESEARCH: What happens when crypto’s yield advantage vanishes just as small and medium enterprises face a funding crunch?

In 2022, after seven Fed rate hikes, the yield on 10-year Treasuries rose above returns from low-risk DeFi protocols for the first time. By year-end, Treasury yields hit ~3.9%, outpacing DeFi’s ~2.4%.

That shift erased a key incentive for capital to stay onchain.

At the same time, EU SME lending dropped 12% in 2023. The annual financing gap ballooned to €39B, with unmet funding needs surpassing €211B between 2017 and 2023. By 2024, 7.6% of SMEs were still financially constrained.

This convergence created an opening: onchain investors seeking yield and SMEs in need of capital.

Cointelegraph Research x 8lends explores how RWA-backed private credit can bridge this divide—connecting digital asset capital with real-world borrowers.
