A Closer Look at The Decentralised Finance Portfolio

Published on
February 1, 2022

Decentralised finance (DeFi) is a movement that seeks to bypass traditional financial intermediaries by transferring financial services to the blockchain. Instead of just decentralising transactions (as with Bitcoin), DeFi aims to decentralise larger parts of the financial industry. This is achieved through smart contracts, which are snippets of computer code that allow complex transfers and agreements to be made on the blockchain without the need for approval from a central authority. Dmitriy Klimov, head of asset management at Coinpanion comments:

“Decentralised Finance is a real eye-opener at the moment, attracting the attention of both retail investors and large institutional players. The Total Value Locked (TVL) in the DeFi space has grown more than 10 times since the beginning of 2021 and this is just the first step towards the start of a true adaptation of the technology. At Coinpanion, we believe that decentralised finance will reduce costs for financial institutions and be fully integrated into traditional finance in the near future on both micro and macro levels.”

To unlock the potential of DeFi, Coinpanion designed a DeFi Portfolio, so that you can participate in the open and global financial ecosystem now.
