How Decentralised Finance Will Change the World's Economy

My latest article:

Decentralised Finance (DeFi) imagines a global, decentralised alternative to every financial service that exists today, including insurance, savings, loans, etc. It will bring financial activities to anyone with a smartphone and an internet connection.

With blockchain technology spearheading the front, decentralised finance is set to bring back privacy, trust, and let individuals create a future where a transparent, secure, public system is in control once again. DeFi will enable the unbanked to join the economic system, it will lower the cost of doing business and it will offer new investment opportunities for anyone across the globe. The future is decentralised, and that certainly applies to the financial sector.
