We told you about decentralized finance, and you had more questions.

Last week, we took a deep dive into the world of decentralized finance, or DeFi. And y’all had some follow-up questions! Today we’re answering a few from listeners about possible uses of DeFi, possible risks and how regulation might work.

Here’s everything we talked about on the show:

“Cryptocurrency-based decentralized finance takes on Wall Street” from Fortune
“What’s DeFi? Crypto-based decentralized finance explained” from CNBC
“FATF Will Finally Publish Crypto Anti-Money Laundering Guidance Next Week” from Coindesk via Yahoo
“How to green cryptocurrencies” from Politico
“Bitcoin’s Most Profitable Use: The $540 Billion Overseas Remittance Business?” from Investopedia
