Hello! Today we will tell you why DeFi is so popular.

📌 The Decentralized Financial Sector (DeFi) is growing steadily and there has been a lot of buzz around it lately. Let’s see what made it so popular.

📌 So far, 2020 hasn’t been the best time for many traders, but DeFi has certainly changed that, expanding exponentially. They passed a key milestone in February when the total value of tokens locked in DeFi apps reached over $ 1 billion.

📌 At the heart of DeFi is the idea that crypto entrepreneurs can recreate traditional financial instruments in a decentralized architecture without being controlled by companies and governments.

📌 The first implementations of DeFi were Bitcoin and Ether. Both cryptocurrencies were the first decentralized alternatives to fiat that were not under centralized control. For a reason, investors see bitcoin as gold, an anti-inflation tool, while ether is a useful fundraising tool for startups.

📌 People initially became interested in DeFi because “they are close to libertarian views.” They like the ability to create products that are protected from outside influence, and some developers like the technology itself and its capabilities.

📌 Decentralized financial solutions “can make our financial systems more transparent, more resilient and less fragile,” said Salil Deshpande, partner at Bain Capital Ventures.
