With its roots in blockchain technology and peer-to-peer financial transactions, the world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is attracting more than just niche investors.
Increasingly, institutions are exploring how and in what way they may enhance efficiency, execute transactions more effectively, increase returns on assets, and maximize profits using DeFi.
With the proper understanding, risk management, and strategic approach, institutions can defy expectations around efficiency, effectiveness, and profitability and take their firm to the next level.
TABB Forum and Global DCA recently hosted DeFi-ing Expectations: Utilizing Decentralized Finance to Drive Institutional Performance Conference Event and VIP Reception series to offer insight on emerging trends, products and applications tailored to the unique needs of the serious institutional investor. Headlining the Conference was Sam Bankman-Fried, Cryptoexchange FTX Founder and CEO.
