DeFi By Design EP39: The Power of DeFi in Unbanked Countries w/ Akin Sawyer


This might be hard to believe… but we are still early.

Bitcoin has taken on the role of Digital Hard Money, however Ethereum has the potential to tap into the gigantic structured product layer of Traditional Finance.

The Perp Fi team is bridging the transfer of wealth between Traditional Finance and DeFi. Its no secret — the derivatives market far outweighs the volume of capital stored in hard money. Just take a look at the recent surge in M1 and M2 while the hard money like Gold and Silver remain relatively flat. A similar trend is starting to prevail in the crypto denominations of hard money.

Perp Fi brings an on-chain basket of tools to those looking for creative ways to leverage capital. The team here blends unique perspectives of financial engineering and blockchain development.
