The world of DeFi operates much differently than the well-established financial frameworks of today and it is growing rapidly - there is currently approximately $125 billion locked in DeFi pools and protocols. So how do you make sense of what DeFi is, what it means and how your institution should be thinking about it (even if you aren’t in financial services).
