As we enter an exciting new paradigm of finance and technology, many traditional institutions are struggling to keep up with the blockchain revolution.

Moreover, with trust in traditional financial systems and fiat currencies at a low level, having confidence in crypto is no longer something merely for eccentrics.
This year, some of the biggest developments in the cryptocurrency industry have been due to the uptick in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, offering many of the same services as the legacy financial institutions, but on-chain.
