Decentralized Finance (often referred to as DeFi) is a growing movement around recreating common financial instruments from traditional finance using decentralized back-end infrastructure. Thus, rather than needing centralized entities to facilitate the movement of financial markets, users can access, trade, and lend assets using open-source software running on decentralized networks. The result is self-running P2P financial markets based around transparency, open access, and data-driven automation.

Wall Street won't have a choice. They can't pull the plug on it

That’s the point. There is no middle man like Wall Street that can do anything about it.

As if BTC and crypto didn't already have a bullish environment, this could be the catalyst for new highs IMO.

Have you missed that fedgov has the full support of isps, intel and big government to shutdown things just like this?

Wall Street didn’t funnel all that cash to Joe and his backers to let this happen.

There’s easy ways to do it without paying high gas fees with apps like Celsius and the APYs blow away any banks .

This is all true but Synthetix is moving to layer 2 soon and they are setup perfectly to benefit from stock censorship
