Recurring market commentary on what's happening in the crypto markets, summarized by Crypto Finance AG Senior Trader Patrick Heusser.

Market commentary

Good Morning!

I hope you can forgive the fact that many of my previous posts have been about DeFi topics and its various projects. Just as a little warning... there are many more to come in 2021!

And on that note: the Consensys Q4 DeFi report provides a really good summary of what is going on in this space without diving too much into details. It is perfect for all you tradfin people out there who want to get a glimpse of what is happening.

I have had many calls with banks and bankers who are starting to feel that they need to get some information about DeFi, but then quickly fall into their typical defensive stance when they say "regulators will never allow this space to grow". In my view, this is a great misjudgment, and it will cost them dearly in the near future.

For us, as a FINMA-regulated security dealer house, we learned very early to find a balance between the developments in decentralised finance and the regulatory framework that we must adhere to. We will continue pushing ahead to ensure that we can offer a bridge for our institutional client base that provides access to the fast growing DeFi market. Reports such as the one from Consensys support us by showing us the possibilities and developments currently in the making that will help us build those bridges.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions about the DeFi sector, or about the available tokens and their economics. Our trading desk is always here for you and ready for your questions.
