Decentralizing Finance How Blockchain, Digital Assets and DeFi are Transforming Finance

An exciting exploration of the promise and perils of decentralized finance

In Decentralizing Finance: How Blockchain, Crypto and DeFi are Transforming Finance, blockchain and finance expert Kenneth Bok delivers a compelling discussion of the current state of decentralized finance (DeFi) as smart contracts and cryptocurrencies continue to drive the ongoing revolution in finance. You’ll discover how DeFi is rivalling traditional finance in making systems more efficient, interoperable, and accessible, while taking stock of the collateral damage that it seems to be having on consumers due to its risk-taking and speculative nature.

What is the difference between FinTech and DeFi? Where is the tension between regulation and innovation being met? What is the role of DeFi in the future internet – the Metaverse – and commerce? You’ll discover the answers to these questions, and more, through a comprehensive overview of the key technologies, products and big questions at the forefront of DeFi.

Written by an ex-Goldman Sachs trader and Ethereum crowd-sale investor who has bridged both traditional finance and crypto, Decentralizing Finance gives you an insider’s view to the exciting transformation that is DeFi.
