ChainCatcher News, at the "Build and Scale in 2026" themed forum recently held by ChainCatcher in Hong Kong, Spark co-founder Sam MacPherson delivered a keynote speech on "The Growth Engine of DeFi," systematically explaining how Spark constructs an integrated solution to address the fragmentation and inefficiency in on-chain capital markets by integrating savings, lending, and institutional-grade capital allocation. Sam MacPherson pointed out that the current on-chain capital markets still face challenges of severe fragmentation and low capital efficiency. Spark builds its growth engine through three core products: first, the cross-chain savings account Spark Savings, which has already managed over $2.75 billion in deposits, providing users with a secure and stable yield entry; second, the lending protocol SparkLend, which focuses on blue-chip assets and captures value by reducing external protocol fees and protocol charges; third, institutional lending in collaboration with custodian Anchorage, seeking risk-adjusted returns between DeFi, CeFi, and traditional finance. He believes that the next phase of DeFi growth will depend on integrated protocols that can seamlessly aggregate multi-chain liquidity, provide institutional-grade risk control, and have a sustainable token economic model. Spark is driving DeFi toward a more efficient and robust direction through its product portfolio and ecosystem development.
