BREAKDOWN: Camila Russo and David Hoffman on the 2020 DeFi Outlook
Why the undisputed narrative of 2019 was the rise of DeFi and why 2020 promises even more exciting developments.
ABOUT
Sometimes things are clear, and to both Camila Russo (write of The Defiant newsletter) and David Hoffman (co-host of the Crypto POV podcast), it couldn’t be clearer that the essential narrative of 2019 was the rise of DeFi as a true market force. In individual interviews as part of The Breakdown’s end of year coverage, each also makes a 2020 DeFi prediction. For David, it’s all about increased attention on the space and the power of composability, while for Camila, it’s a bet that we’ll start to see the first under-collateralized DeFi loans.
