Topic: ​​Highlights on the predictions for DeFi in 2020 - page 2. (Read 434 times)

Defi is a game changer. There are some good projects in the Defi space like dydx and MCDEX. I trade perpetual on MCDEX. Does anyone else trade perpetual?

You're welcome, we certainly hope that you will find that useful. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions and suggestions on how we can improve our upcoming editions too

Seems like DeFi is getting some buzz here within last days. I have seen couple of threads made on DeFi. However, I can not see competitor for ETH. It would be good to see a list of so called ETH competitor.

Looks good so far. Just have downloaded it and will read. I have been passing very boring time, hope that will be a good read for me.

Hey thank you for free the book. I just download it and reading it following days when i have free time at home. I'm going to learn more about DeFi. It's must be a great book Thank you.

Decentralized Finance are the new form of blockchain and crypto that would shape the new development in the field. Defi in many forms would be accepted as a financial tool for most companies and even entire countries as it needs almost no maintenance or audit. They are efficient to operate and maintain.

We just published a DeFi book that covers all things DeFi from A to Z, you might want to check it out!

DeFi is for sure the next rising trend and i think it has the power and future to dominate the financial services sector and many traditional businesses abd banking channels would feel the threat but i think that technology will takeover and some key improvements in major blockchains like btc and eth will lead the way.

I write a lot about Defi and the projects of this ecosystem. The first review was written in September 2019.

At the moment, it is a fully working ecosystem with great functionality and capabilities. But I do not find a Defi discussion in the English forum.

If you are the one who developer DeFi and cross-chain platform is a must. I can tell your to increase or attract the demand from people that was using another chain and you must make it available to the another chain too.
It's too early to determine if DeFi will be a very big thing this year as the majority of DeFi that exists in the market are still lack of the capability and usability.
That still needs a lot of correction too. I don't put a lot of expectation on DeFi.

I'm right with you on the topic of DeFi locked bitcoin. 

Here's a short list:

• Liquid
• wBTC
• tBTC
• rBTC
• zbtc
• BTCtz
• renBTC
• nomic.io

Bitcoin's monetary characteristics make it perfect to travel through other networks. 

Which competitor of ETH are we talking here?  There are more than 10 of them all wanting to be the ETH killer.

Interoperability feature in some projects where introduced before I haven't really see any news about it. None of the teams who introduced it are making a remarkable announcements. Syscoin isn't the first that I heard of interoperability but the ARK team and Cardano. I'm hoping Defi will give all DEX the success it needs.

1. Total Value Locked in DeFi will continue to raise and might reach X billion mark.
▪️"We'll see significant growth over the next year, both in terms of value locked in the DeFi smart contracts and user base" by DeFiprime
▪️"Total value locked up in Ethereum DeFi will surpass 1 billion dollars in 2020" by Outlier Ventures
▪️"Value locked in DeFi hits $5B" by Blockchain Capital
▪️"The DeFi sector will continue to grow. The amount of funds locked in DeFi will double at least" by CryptoRank

2. Significant competition to Ethereum will arise.
▪️"More cross-chain DeFi projects and at least 2 major public chains other than ETH will establish a noticeable DeFi eco, competing with ETH" by Ryan Tian
▪️"Ethereum still will be the #1 platform for DeFi projects. We'll see fully functional and trustless bridges from BTC to the ETH-based DeFi ecosystem.  We'll see 10x attempts to build the DeFi ecosystem from scratch, both on old semi-dead blockchains from the past, and on newish VC founded" by DeFiprime

3. Interoperability will arrive in 2020
▪️"Interoperability will arrive in 2020" by Roy Learner
▪️"We'll see significant progress with blockchains interoperability and the adoption of DEXes with assets swaps between more than one blockchain" by DeFiprime

4. We might see the fall of at least one DeFi project either because of regulations or volatility of the market and systematic risks of the collateral.
▪️"We'll see at least one project being slapped by regulators. It'll force other projects to switch from the team ruled somewhat-DeFi/CeFi to non-custodial/DAO-governed." by DeFiprime
▪️"There will be at least one major collapse of the current well-known project due to the volatility of the market and systematic risks of the collateral." by Ryan Tian

5. The amount of BTC locked in DeFi will significantly raise and might even outperform ETH
▪️"BTC will eclipse ETH as the primary value locked in DeFi" by Roy Learner
▪️"Don't bet against Bitcoin, and try to pull its value into DeFi machines" by Lex Substack

Any additional thoughts?
