Decentralized Finance (DiFi) will probably set a different trajectory with regard to the understanding of financial structures. DiFi has the potential of shaping the future of banking operations. According to Forbes, DiFi encompasses the perception of a financial system that works without intermediaries such as banks or insurances.

As the world undergoes digital transformation, the financial sector is also metamorphosing at a dramatic pace. Investors are opting for blockchain planetary to bolster their fortunes. Digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have been growing at a magical rate.

Decentralized finance is defined as an experimental form of finance that doesn’t depend on central financial intermediaries like brokerages, banks or exchanges to offer traditional financial instruments.

The question is, “will decentralized finance replace commercial banks?” Majorly, banks operate on the basis of borrowing and lending for the sustenance of market liquidity and earn more on their unproductive possessions.

Equally, DiFi protocols have been enhanced to allow users to borrow or loan money on a gigantic scale between anonymous individuals, without involving any intermediaries. The interest is then automatically set basing on the forces of demand and supply. Unlike traditional finance models, DiFi are commonly secured by over-collaterization.

DiFi platform has started offering advisory on financial transactions, just like investment banks. Firms like Synthetix allow the decentralized development and trading of derivatives on assets like currencies, stocks and commodities.

Cryptocurrencies have also started embracing digital asset management. For instance, Yearn Finance searches for the best returns in the DeFi space and then automatically does the investment for its users. Yearn Finance permits its users to optimize their returns on crypto assets through trading and lending services.

Just like the exchange of real cash, DeFi also offering the exchange of cryptocurrencies against fiat cash. The advent of decentralized exchanges (DEX) has necessitated the swapping of tokens without necessarily leaving the crypto site.
