DeFi, or Decentralized Finance, is a term for financial applications built on blockchain technology that operate without traditional intermediaries like banks or brokerages. It enables peer-to-peer financial services such as lending, borrowing, and trading.
Why it’s in the news: It is in the news now because regulatory bodies like the CFTC are actively proposing and finalizing rules to define and oversee its activities, particularly concerning derivatives and swaps.
