Event Details
One of the unique attributes of decentralized finance is "trustless technology" that allows anonymous counterparties to be accountable to one another, minimizing counterparty risk. This reduces friction for international payment settlements and has nurtured the newest iteration of FinTech facing retail investors and consumers. For years this was the standard.
The introduction of more cautious institutional investors has introduced a friction point: disregarding trustless tech in favor of a permissioned Blockchain that takes a walled-garden approach to all counterparties and data. And open Blockchain becomes a closed system. Centralization is anathema to DeFi purists, but bankers prefer to know all counterparties and mitigate all potential risks. The battle rages on.
