Regulation is often seen as DeFi's enemy, but Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov takes a different view. He says pressure from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) could actually push DeFi protocols toward a higher degree of decentralization while strengthening security at the same time.
This argument places regulatory pressure and technological evolution on the same path: when protocols face compliance scrutiny, teams may be forced to reduce centralized control points and lower the risk of single points of failure — something Egorov sees as a benefit rather than a burden. So far, public information is limited to this stated view, with no concrete protocol adjustment cases or timeline yet available for comparison.
