According to BSCscan data, a mass of ‘unlock’ calls’ — alongside ‘withdraw all’ calls — have spammed the CAKE smart contract.

Julian Hosp, CEO and co-founder of Cake DeFi said in an interview with CoinTelegraph, that “the days of platforms touting sky-high yields are over.”

Hosp added:

“Today, we see yields adjusting at healthy, realistic, albeit much lower levels. We believe that this is actually a good sign, as it indicates that the industry is moving towards what we call “true DeFi.”

Hosp explained that, following “the string of bank collapses,” the public has lost confidence in both centralized finance (CeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi) — turning to “alternative ways to store and manage their wealth,  such as DeFi).”
