DeFi and Its Potential to Disrupt Traditional Finance & Ensure Financial Inclusion
summary
Panelists argue DeFi reduces counterparty risk by replacing humans with smart contracts but flag code and UX as the main failures, citing FTX as a centralized counterexample. They note MakerDAO moves $800M into US treasuries as real‑world asset demand, Ethereum staking and liquid staking derivatives via EigenLayer / LSDs that yield about 8% staking yield today, and pilot micro‑lending in the Philippines as a tested use case.
