What is “Good Enough Yield” and Acceptable Risk? Panel

Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 12:00 AM

In this panel, leaders from S&P Global, the Ethereum Foundation, and Polygon dive deep into one of the biggest questions in DeFi: What is “good” yield, and what is “acceptable” risk? The conversation covers how institutions evaluate risk, how stablecoins and RWAs should be assessed, whether blockchains should build yield products at the protocol level, and how much transparency users actually need. The discussion also tackles the growing debate around regulation, self-regulation, disclosures, and whether DeFi risks are truly lower, or simply more hidden. This is an essential watch for anyone designing, assessing, or depositing into yield products. Speakers: Charles Jansen: Head of DeFi Transformation, S&P Global Ash Morgan: Head of Stablecoins and RWA, Ethereum Foundation Marc Boiron: CEO, Polygon Mod: Mike Massari: Strategic Advisor, RedStone
