DeFi May Revolutionize the Financial Industry
Imagine a world where you can send money to anyone instantly and for free. You don't need a bank account or a credit card.?You just need a smartphone and an internet connection.
This is the world of DeFi, or decentralized finance. DeFi is a new financial system?that uses blockchain technology to remove the need for intermediaries such as banks.?
This makes it possible for people to participate in financial transactions?without having to go through a third party. Globally, some 1.4 billion adults remain unbanked, according to the World Bank.
DeFi is like a public library
In the past, if you wanted to borrow a book, you had to go to a library.?The library was a central authority that controlled all of the books.?You had to follow their rules and pay their fees.
But now, with the internet, you can access a library of books?from anywhere in the world. You can borrow books for free?and you don't have to follow any rules.
DeFi is like this. It is a public library for financial transactions.?You can borrow and lend money, trade assets, and earn interest?without the need for a central authority.
