Recommendation

After the record run of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, you might wonder what’s next for blockchain-based finance. Professor Campbell R. Harvey and crypto experts Ashwin Ramachandran and Joey Santoro offer a bold answer: a whole lot. They argue that decentralized finance will bring financial services to the unbanked masses, and eliminate fees and delays for everyone else. Dubious readers might question if all this is a tad ambitious, but blockchain believers will likely eat up every word of this concise treatise. Whichever camp you’re in, you’ll appreciate this glimpse of finance’s potential future.

Take-Aways

  • The traditional financial system isn’t meeting society’s needs.
  • The blockchain underpins decentralized finance (DeFi).
  • Conventional finance concentrates control in a few hands, a reality that DeFi can reverse.
