The TRUTH About DEFI

So what is the current state of decentralized finance? Where are we with different scaling solutions on Ethereum? How about DeFi on other chains? And what is the most likely scenario when it comes to the future of DeFi? You’ll find answers to these questions in this video.
Decentralized Finance, together with the whole cryptocurrency space, started 2021 with a bang.
In just a few months the total value locked in DeFi grew from around $15B to an astonishing $45B.
The volume on decentralized exchanges has also been at an all-time high with over $50B traded each month.
On top of this, a lot of DeFi tokens have seen a significant increase in value which attracted even more people to this still very new space.
We’ve also seen a lot of development.
New projects popping up pretty much every day.
Already existing protocols launching their new versions.
Other well-known projects migrating or announcing their migration to different scaling solutions.
We also had some big news. For example, Visa announced they will start settling transactions in USDC on Ethereum. This is amazing not only for Ethereum but also for the whole DeFi space in general.
Despite all of this development, it seems like DeFi is at a crossroad.
On one hand, we have DeFi protocols on Ethereum exploring multiple different scaling solutions to alleviate high transaction fees. On the other hand, we have other chains trying to attract both the new and the already existing DeFi projects.

    i really respect your timing of 'click like' requests ("if you've made it this far..."): you give a lot before you ask anything in return. so many creators act like their viewer's time isn't worth anything--which it may not be, but the viewer doesn't think that!--so they ask prematurely.

    could please make a video about how would likely be the way visa use USDC on their own system? is it a still USDC moving around centralized database just like other centralized exchanges? Or would it be operated on the blockchain transaction? If so, how would it sustain at the current stake considering the transaction fee on the layer 1? how could it be best sustainable solution for visa to implement their intention? Nice video overall. Thanks in advance!

    It's important to note that Avalanche has their solution for interoperability too: subnets. Subnets consist of subsets of Avalanche's validators. Different subnets will be able to run their own VMs and determine permissions. Moreover, subnets will be capable of cross-chain asset transfers.

    It's not only the technology or community that decide which chain to go with, but a strong leadership. Name me just one person from the entire crypto space that is more respected than Vitalik. I for one definitely go with Ethereum.
