Decentralized finance has become popular and has marked the birth of an open alternative to the current financial system, with broader financial inclusivity. Defi came into existence with the foundation of Ethereum in 2013. The platform hit the ground in 2016 and 2017, with the backing of the developers of Ethereum and some entrepreneurs and experts in the financial investment sphere. The major milestone it provided was to remove the intermediaries between parties in financial transactions.
Many Defi applications are built on Ethereum, as it is an open-source platform that uses blockchain technology to generate and run decentralized digital applications. The rapidly expanding use of Defi has provided consumers with an alternative and better version of traditional financial institutions, like banks, payment processors and clearinghouses.
Defi is a solution to the issue faced by traditional banking and financial institutions, as the system is designed to do the work without intermediaries between transacting parties. The increased volume of trading tokens locked in smart contracts indicates that the system is gaining strength in the ecosystem. The exponential growth of the concept has potential in the future, and it indicates a bright future for Ethereum, and most Defi apps are built on its platform. With the rising growth and use of Defi apps and smart contracts, the ETH/USD is gaining strength all over the market.
