Vault products like disgraced Stream xUSD will continue to attract users. DeFi gets complicated and retail WANTS higher passive yield, so 'experts' fill that hole. Problem is opacity: You can't track where funds are in real time. DeFi already solved this issue last cycle:

The Certora team has been a steadfast partner from the early days. As soon as the incident surfaced they spared no efforts, jumped in and worked side by side with us. Grateful to them and to everyone supporting Balancer.
Since Monday’s @Balancer v2 exploit, we’ve worked hand in hand with their team to develop the first root-cause analysis of the issue, identify all affected and potentially vulnerable pools, and determine whether v3 was susceptible to the same attack. Our analysis breaks down

I was one of the first team members being made aware of the incident and initiated emergency procedures immediately with our security partners. Support from the community has been amazing. This first report shall bring some clarity. Much more work to be done!
