Ethereum’s decentralized finance (DeFi) space has received a lot of attention in recent months. This sector of the crypto space has seen a rapid uptick in capital involved as the yields and incentives to use these DeFi applications have increased at a dramatic clip. Data shows that the number of DeFi users has literally gone from a few thousand at the start of the year to somewhere close to a few hundred thousand now.
Prominent investors and innovators within and outside of the crypto space are understandably taking notice. So much so that David Marcus, co-founder of Libra and a former PayPal president, began to ask about it on Twitter just recently.
