RE: DeFi + ODL Propitiate The End of SWIFT Transfers

in SteemLeo5 years ago

Hi @juanmolina

Finally I had chance to read your old publication about DeFi. Thx for sharing link with me.

I sometimes wonder if there isn't currently to much hype around DeFi. Just like we've seen hype around ICO and then STO.

Yours, Piotr

DeFi is the current financial phenomenon brother.
The figures confirm this.

I'm still trying to understand DeFi @juanmolina

I've read post about DeFi by @hash-tag ( https://hive.blog/hive-175254/@hash-tag/what-is-defi-and-how-is-it-different-from-traditional-finance-is-it-another-scam-that-i-should-know-about) and it got me so interested. I'm still not sure how does it work. It seem that DeFi allows to "borrow" fiat currency and use crypto as a collateral?

Cheers,
Piotr

DeFi allows you to do many things. Broadly speaking, there are two main aspects:

  • Recreate traditional financial operations, but with the implementation of crypto.
  • Create new financial instruments, based on crypto.

As you can see, it is a totally disruptive new technology.

An example that I always include:
The Spanish financial group "Santander" is one of the pioneering banks in the foray into DeFi. In 2019 they used the Ethereum platform for the liquidation of the interests of a trust bond of 20 million dollars.
Here is the link for you to learn about it:
